Yeah that's, yeah that's so far.

[Shailene] What school did Jamie Dornan go to?

I went to school in Belfast, in Northern Ireland,

called Methodist College Belfast

which makes it sound very sort of religious

but it kind of,

I came out of it not religious and not serious, so.

It didn't work!

You learned nothing!

What does Jamie Dornan look like now?

What do you look like?

What languages does Jamie Dornan speak?

Honestly, terribly, I just speak English.

I speak a wee bit of French,

like enough to get me by

and you know buy groceries and stuff

if I'm in France,

but um no, just English you know.

[Shailene] What is Jamie Dornan's zodiac sign?

Does that mean just your star sign?

Is that the same thing?

Yeah.

That shows you how not in tune with that I am.

I'm a Taurus.

It's actually my birthday,

I don't know when this is going out, it's my birthday

Oh yeah, tomorrow right?

Yeah, yeah so, there we go,

so yeah I'm a Taurus.

[Jamie] Okay, is Shailene Woodley a vegetarian?

No.

[Jamie] Is Shailene Woodley dating someone?

No.

I'm dating myself, actually. I'm dating me.

[Jamie] This is a good one, is Shailene Woodley Hawaiian?

No, I am not Hawaiian by blood, but I do feel

that those islands are my home.

Is that because of the Descendants?

That's when I first went to Hawaii, yeah,

and then I stayed for a few years.

Oh cool, I didn't know that. That's cool.

[Jamie] Here's the question you wanted Shailene!

Is Shailene Woodley left-handed?

No, I'm not.

My mom's left-handed but I'm not left-handed.

[Jamie] Is Shailene Woodley British?

I actually am.

I'm like 89%, like genetically from England.

All of my ancestors are from there,

and then West Africa.

Those are the two places that I'm from,

but basically I am English, but I mean,

I'm not British, I am American.

I feel like this year,

had this pandemic not happened,

you were about to play like back to back

British people, am I right?

No.

Oh.

Anything else you need to know

about Shailene and her career, come to me.

[Shailene] Okay, does Jamie Dornan have an accent?

What do we define as accent?

Doesn't everybody have an accent?

Like unless you are a mute,

like everyone has an accent.

Does Jamie Dornan have a, oh so you're reading.

You can go for it! You're doing a great job!

Does Jamie Dornan have a tattoo?

I don't, no.

[Shailene] Does Jamie Dornan wear glasses?

I do if I'm reading for a long time,

not if I'm reading like a menu or something, I'm grand,

but if I'm reading like a script or a book,

and I know I'm going to be reading

for more than say 20 minutes, I wear glasses, yeah.

[Shailene] Does Jamie Dornan have a dog?

I do have a dog!

Yeah we do, we have a family dog.

He's called Lennard, Lenny.

He's a black lab and he's three years old

and he's beautiful, he's amazing. I love him.

[Shainlene] Oh my God. That's the first?

Is this me that typed this into Google?

Why was Shailene Woodley in jail?

I was in jail because I was picked out of a group

of 400 people while at Standing Rock Reservation

a few years ago when thousands

and thousands of people were protesting

at a very dangerous pipeline.

And I was Facebook Live livestreaming,

and there were like tons of people watching

what was happening at the moment,

and the cops picked me out of the crowd

because I was trespassing and that's why I was arrested.

[Jamie] Why is Shailene Woodley environmental activist?

That's some good grammar.

I am, I mean I don't,

you know I really don't like that word activist.

I feel like it separates people

and says one person is doing better

than another person. We're all just doing

the best we can, and I happen to not have kids,

and I happen to not have you know, a lot of

responsibilities in my life so I can generate a lot

of my energy towards the environment

and towards protecting it,

so that when I do have kids,

they can survive in a good way

and then their kids

can survive in a good way,

and I just think it's important

I think it's important to give back

to the thing that has given us the most,

which in my opinion is the Earth.

[Jamie] Why Shailene Woodley romance movies?

Why am I in romance movies?

Yeah.

Cool, that's what we're going to go with.

I love love. I don't know.

Also, there's just a lot of opportunities

for women my age to be in romance movies

and not a lot of opportunities to do other things.

I'd say that those are probably the number one,

like most available projects to be a part of

unless you just want to be like a girlfriend

in the background,

or a flight stewardess so, that's probably why

I've done so many romance movies.

But also because I love, I just love love.

[Jamie] Why is Shailene Woodley the oc?

That also doesn't make sense, but I was in the OC.

I was 13 years old, no I was 11 years old,

played Mischa Barton's little sister

and then I was replaced when I was 13

by a different actress to play the same character

because I hadn't gone through puberty yet

and they really needed

No!

They needed a girl who had a body and who had,

I mean really that's what it was.

They needed somebody who had a body

that was different than mine.

But you know what? It's okay, I didn't really take offense

to it. I was a late bloomer and it's fine.

Jeepers.

Jeepers!

Is Jamie Dornan Irish?

Yes, I am Irish. That's a true fact.

[Shailene] Is Jamie Dornan in a quiet place?

Well like right now I'm in a quiet

[laughing]

No, the movie, no I'm not. I mean no.

[Shailene] Is Jamie Dornan in Outlander?

Like that show Outlander?

Jamie, why are you in all of these movies and shows

I don't know about?

Like what is, what are you doing?

Did you just pretend like you're with the family

but you're sneaking in to all of these?

I have not stopped working.

You're just doing little like Glenn Close

in Hook kind of thing.

No, Yeah, I just wrapped on Outlander

season six. What a trip.

[Jamie] Does Shailene Woodley have Instagram?

Yes I do.

Does Shailene Woodley sing?

Too much probably, I do sing.

I love to sing.

We've sung together-

We have sung together, lots of Christmas songs.

[Jamie] Does Shailene Woodley have tattoos?

I actually do.

I got two tattoos last year

but my body rejected them.

I feel like I'm probably the only person

on the planet who's ever gotten tattoos and body,

my body decided to say no.

I got this one, which is very difficult to see.

I had it done twice and it's still like chipping away.

And then I got like a word

on my finger that you can't see at all,

and I got that done twice as well and it's,

it's completely gone.

So, I think I'm just not meant

to actually have tattoos because my body.

[Jamie] Does Shailene Woodley have a phone?

I actually do right now. I have a phone right now.

But I do go through phases where I don't have one.

That is true.

[Interviwer] Do you not check it very often?

Or are you pretty good with checking it?

It's not that I don't even check it very often,

I just like, I mean let's see.

I have 152 unread text messages,

who knows how many Whatsapps.

I don't know, I just don't like it.

I don't like it.

I'd rather hang out with someone in person

than talk to them over the phone.

Which is completely irrational, but.

What is Jamie Dornan doing right now?

Well, you know, I'm Zooming

with my dear friend Shailene Woodley,

and we're talking about the internet!

You know I'm gonna put my kids,

I've got a window,

they do this nice thing here during lockdown

at eight o'clock everyone goes outside

their house and claps for the-

Same here!

Okay yeah, for the National Health Service.

Which I have just missed by 7 minutes.

But we allow our older 2 kids to stay up for it

and so they're right in front of our house

clapping and banging pots and pans

and ringing bells and stuff.

And then I'll go and put them to bed when this is done.

That's what I'm doing right now.

[Shailene] What nationality is Jamie Dornan?

Kinda feel like we've heard this but I'm Irish.

Still Irish?

Yeah, I'm still Irish, yeah.

[Shailene] What age is Jamie Dornan?

Well, what a question that is. Given the timing,

because I don't when this is gonna go out.

At the moment I am 37 and tomorrow on Friday the 1st

of May I turn 38.

[clapping]

[Shailene] What height is Jamie Dornan?

I'm 6 foot tall.

Maybe like a, less than half a centimeter

below that, but that's rounded up.

It's always my way of dealing with that.

[Shailene] What was Jamie Dornan's first movie?

I got very lucky.

The first movie I ever did was Marie Antoinette

with Sofia Coppola. It was my first ever audition,

I had just got an agent.

I had just decided that I wanted to act

and Sofia, I mean had literally just won an Oscar,

maybe 2 Oscars for Lost in Translation.

So it was a crazy, crazy first job.

Very cool, you know.

What is Shailene Woodley doing now?

Well I'm petting my dog and I'm talking to my friend

over Zoom on a Thursday.

[Jamie] What is Shailene Woodley in?

I like the way you say my last name by the way.

[laughing]

Woodley!

Well I'm in pajamas, still.

I don't know if that's the answer you wanted

but I'm in sweatpants!

Is that what that meant?

Probably not, but that's how I interpreted it.

That's what they're getting!

What is Shailene Woodley's Instagram?

Shailene Woodley. Not very creative

[Jamie] What was Shailene Woodley's first movie?

Oh, it's a movie called Replacing Dad.

I did it when I was 5 years old and I,

I remember the director told me I had to hit a certain tile

on the bathroom floor that we were filming in,

and I came out of this bathroom stall

and I realized that I hadn't hit the tile,

so as I'm doing this scene,

I'm scooting myself across the floor to get that tile

and they kept it in the movie!

I mean it's the funniest thing.

Anyways that was my first thing.

I'm renting that tonight on iTunes.
