Happy Birthday: Jamie Bell

Jamie Bell

Born: March 14, 1986 in Billingham, Stockton on Tees, England, UK

[on why he continued pursuing ballet despite the mockery] – “The other boys called me ‘poof’, ‘ballerina boy’, “Get on your tutu, Jamie.” It gave me more determination to prove it wasn’t just for girls. It was for boys as well.”

[on winning awards, after he won the British Academy award] “It’s just an award although it is a big one. It is no good getting too big-headed. I’ve been very busy and I’m very tired. I’ve been given advice, you know on speech-making and things like that. It’s kind of weird that the other guys didn’t win because they’re such big guys.”

(It’s true that) most British movies are emotional and I agree that most American actors look manufactured. It’s a shame.
