00:00 Belfast's Jamie Dornan Hits Out At Disturbing Fan Backlash

00:04 Prejudgment is such a f***ing disease.

00:07 Belfast and The Tourist actor Jamie Dornan has spoken out against the culture where fans

00:12 react strongly in a negative way to casting announcements, specifically naming Robert

00:17 Pattinson as Batman and Daniel Craig as James Bond as castings that received a lot of hate

00:22 online before the actors had chance to prove themselves.

00:26 Having appeared in the Fifty Shades of Grey films, Dornan is no stranger to a strong backlash,

00:32 and spoke to Esquire about the way people speak about actors online.

00:37 "Prejudgment is such a f***ing disease.

00:40 It's a disease in all our culture.

00:42 In my line of work, sure," he said.

00:45 "But in general, people prejudge people based on f***ing anything really, and it's very

00:51 sad.

00:52 Look at the reaction when Rob got cast as Batman.

00:55 It was like 90% negative.

00:58 Daniel Craig got cast as James Bond, I mean that was 100% negative.

01:04 It was vile what was written.

01:05 It was actually disturbing when you see the f***ing venomous anger that people have over

01:10 casting decisions.

01:12 And then guess what?

01:13 Daniel Craig is f***ing brilliant, and it changes the whole energy of Bond.

01:18 And all the naysayers love what Rob has done with Batman."

01:22 The actor also has a problem with people putting out knee-jerk reactions to things they are

01:27 watching onto social media, stating, "You're not invested in a show if every frame of the

01:33 movie you're tweeting about, it.

01:35 Look, f***ing put your phone down and look up and watch it and see."

01:40 You can miss shit, particularly if you're just tweeting your angry thoughts about ripping

01:44 off Steven Spielberg.

01:47 The actor's comments come shortly after it was announced that his BBC One series The

01:51 Tourist has been renewed for a second season.

01:53 The show's cast includes the late Robert Downey Jr., the late John Lennon, and the late

02:00 Bill Cosby.
