Jamie Dornan is best known as Keira Knightley’s ex-boyfriend and he doesn’t like it even a little bit. He is a model and actor with with a bit of a resume of his own. You might remember him as Marie Antoinette’s lover in the movie Marie Antoinette. Or as the guy who modeled Calvin Klein jeans with Kate Moss.

Whoops, he’s still being referred to by the women he worked with. Moving on …

Jamie Dornan says that he ‘regrets even dating Keira Knightley, for he’s now more well know for being her ex than for his talents.’ The hot Irish hunk dated the Pirates of the Caribbean star for about two years. The quit dating in 2005.

“People knew me in the fashion world before I started going out with Keira because I’ve done some good work but it’s proving so hard to lose the stigma that’s attached,” Jamie complained to press.

“I can’t shake off the title of Keira Knightley’s exboyfriend. It frustrates me so much because Dave (Alexander, his band mate in group Sons Of Jim ) and I have been writing music together for five years, before I even met Keira, and getting places with it and creating awareness,” he told press.

He has been in a few movies and ads. He’s definitely a hunk. But honestly, would you know who he is if he hadn’t dated Keira Knightley. Maybe he can make it big himself and then they’ll refer to Keira Knightley as Jamie Dornan’s ex-girlfriend.

He’s also been linked romantically with Kate Moss and Sienna Miller.
