00:00 Jamie Dornan opens up about worst year of his life losing his father while in quarantine
00:05 in Australia.
00:07 He found out the tragic news with 4 days left of quarantine left.
00:11 Jamie Dornan has described 2021 as the worst and hardest year of his life after he lost
00:17 his father, while quarantining in Australia.
00:21 The 39-year-old actor was over 10,000 miles away filming for the recent BBC series The
00:27 Tourist when he heard the sad news his dad, Jim, had passed away from coronavirus after
00:33 contracting COVID-19 while in hospital for a routine knee operation.
00:38 Due to the travel restrictions in place during the coronavirus pandemic the Fifty Shades
00:43 of Grey star Jamie was forced to quarantine, while his parent was in his home in Belfast.
00:49 Jamie had not seen his dad for 18 months because of the restrictions and his hectic work schedule.
00:55 The actor only had 4 days left of his quarantine when he found out about his dad's passing.
01:01 Not only was Jamie unable to see his dad for almost two years, but he was unable to be
01:06 with his family in Northern Ireland during the difficult time while grieving.
01:11 Speaking to The Sun Opens in New Tab, he said, "It's been a brutal time for lots of reasons
01:17 and for lots of people.
01:18 We're all just trying to ride it out and come out the other side, and hope we've got
01:23 our heads intact."
01:25 "2021, was the worst year.
01:29 And the hardest.
01:30 I've been subjected, early on in my life and now, to a lot of pain and loss."
01:36 Jamie's reference to pain and loss is also an odd to his late mother, Lorna, who sadly
01:41 passed away from pancreatic cancer when he was 16 years old.
01:45 The fall actor, who has daughters Delke, 8, Elva, 5, and Alberta, 2, with wife Amelia
01:53 Warner, can be seen in a new film Belfast, in which he plays Pa who works in England
01:58 and aspires to bring his family there.
01:59 The Sun Opens in New Tab, he said, "It's been a brutal time for lots of reasons and
02:06 for lots of people.
02:07 We're all just trying to ride it out and come out the other side, and hope we've got
02:08 our heads intact.
02:09 And the hardest.
02:10 I've been subjected, early on in my life and now, to a lot of pain and loss."
