Jamie Dornan by Harvey Stacey for The Telegraph (2026)

Why We’re Swooning Over the Mature Magic of This A-List Irish Hunk

Even if Jamie Dornan will tell you he hates being photographed these days, the 41-year-old Irish actor somehow makes every frame feel effortless and magnetic — especially in the just-released 2026 photo set for The Telegraph, shot by acclaimed photographer Harvey Stacey.  

📸 The Portraits:

Photos circulating online show Dornan in a mix of classic and laid-back looks that play to his brooding charm and rugged sophistication. Whether lounging in a crisp shirt or gazing into the distance with that trademark smolder, there’s a timeless quality here — a real post-40 glamour vibe that’s less about youthful flash and more about lived-in confidence.  

🧠 The Interview:

Accompanying the images, Dornan opens up to The Telegraph about passions beyond acting — including a surprising love for rugby — and the balance he’s found between fame and family life. While The Telegraph piece isn’t fully available in all reporting feeds yet, snippets shared on Threads and fan accounts tease a thoughtful, grounded conversation that pairs beautifully with Stacey’s visuals.  

💥 Why It Matters for Hunks Over 40:

This shoot is a total standout for our audience because:

• Jamie’s allure has matured: He’s not just the guy who played Christian Grey anymore — he’s a fully formed leading man with grit, depth, and style that transcends age.
• It’s a celebration of confidence over perfection: In many shots, you can see him relaxed, self-aware, and beyond the pressures of Hollywood glamour — which is the kind of attractiveness we love spotlighting after 40.
• Harvey Stacey’s lens is flawless: The photographer captures that rare blend of authenticity and allure — perfect for readers who appreciate understated sex appeal with substance.  

🔥 Final Take:

If you thought Dornan lost a step once he left his Calvin Klein model days behind, think again. These Telegraph portraits remind us that as dudes get older, they don’t fade — they level up. And Jamie? He’s playing the long game with style, depth, and a quietly riveting presence that’s exactly what Hunks Over 40 is all about.
