Jamie Dornan has said he 'doesn't regret pulling the string' on the folk band he was in when he was in his early 20s.
The Holywood man was a member of Sons of Jim which released two songs and even performed on morning TV.
Jamie left the band when he was 24, and told Esquire : “My friend and I who I did it with were kind of doing it for fun.

“You don't have a clue if you're looking left or right at that age.
“We were getting that traction and maybe something was going to happen, and I pulled the string. I've never regretted it. I'm still best mates with my friend that I was in it with.”
He added: “I feel like I could have kept being a musician if I was like in Kiss or something and I was wearing a f****** mask....
“But all eyes are on you, and they know it's you. That was uncomfortable for me.”
The actor, who received massive success to date, also explained in the interview how his wife Amelia Warner's work is 'unbelievable'.
Jamie said: “I would never want it to be like ‘The Jamie Show’ because mummy works too, and her work is unbelievable and she's way more talented than daddy."
He added how his three daughters have picked up that their dad's face is everywhere currently.
“It's a bit more explaining to do the older they get... but the weirdness of what mummy and daddy both do. It also is just who we are.
"They're born into it and there's no point in trying to hide it and tell them we're actually insurance people," the Holywood man said.
Also in the interview, the 39-year-old hit back at The Tourist critics.
In the show, Jamie stars as a man who finds himself in the heart of the Australian outback, being pursued by a vast tank truck attempting to drive him off the road.
A cat and mouse chase ensues, with the man later waking up in hospital hurt, but somehow still alive, with no idea who he is.
Jamie said: “You're not invested in a show if every frame of the movie you're tweeting about [it]. Look, f****** put your phone down and look up and watch it and see.
“You can miss s***, particularly if you're just tweeting your angry thoughts about ripping off Steven Spielberg.”
A second series of the show was confirmed back in March.
