Jamie Dornan: I stalked a woman to get into The Fall role
''The actor admitted the dubious method acting in an interview with the LA Times, saying ‘it felt kind of exciting, in a really sort of dirty way’'

Disgusting.

Fuck sake.

Jesus

Hypothetically Jamie, you could have stalked some random man to get the same research value. But no, a woman. sigh

Oh. No.

That's hideous.

And The Fall was shit beyond the first series.

FFS. These entitled actors. It's reprehensible.

But...

This is a 6 year old interview. Why is it being trotted out now?

Hmmmm

Well if he stayed miles back and she was totally unaware then I can think of worse things.

What does bother me is that he's happy to talk about it (noted that it was years ago). An actor saying yeah it was interesting to follow a woman to find out what it was like is a bit of a green light to give it a go. It's interesting!

Pales into comparison next to other stuff.

I'm far more concerned about possible consequences of him sharing this story as if what he says is true she had no idea and it was a short period of time.
