Charlie Cox Says Jamie Dornan Was 'Too Good-Looking' for Early Hollywood Roles

Charlie Cox, during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, reflected on his early days in Hollywood with friends Jamie Dornan, Eddie Redmayne, Andrew Garfield, and Robert Pattinson. Cox humorously shared that the group often joked Dornan was 'too good-looking' to land acting roles, recalling how they all auditioned for the same parts and supported each other through uncertain times. The friends would help each other put auditions on tape and commiserate over not hearing back from casting agents. Cox also reminisced about their camaraderie, including spending long days playing ping-pong and hanging out at the Standard Hotel. Despite the running joke, Dornan ultimately overcame early challenges and found major success with roles like the lead in the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise. The story highlights both the struggles and enduring friendship among the now-famous actors.
