In an interview with Radio Times, the 41-year-old looked back on his modeling career. He has worked for luxury brands like Calvin Klein (81), Dior and Armani and earned up to 11,500 euros per day. “I hate having my photo taken. I spent ten years getting paid to have people take photos of me,” the “Heart of Stone” actor explained. He tried to get involved in it and have fun with it, even though he didn’t like it in many ways.
In 2021 has Jamie told SiriusXM that without modeling he would never have found his way into acting.
