Jamie Dornan Spent a Lot Of Money To Rent 'Trolls World Tour' For His Daughters, Only To Find Out He Could've Had It For Free!

Jamie Dornan had a Dad fail in 2020.

The 38-year-old Irish actor opened up to Jimmy Kimmel during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live this week about how he spent over $300 on the Trolls World Tour movie, which he is in.

“So, this is what happened. You know the countdown two weeks out [from Trolls World Tour] where I constantly tell ‘em, you know I did it for them, I basically pleaded with Universal just to put me in the picture. And so, I was like, ‘It’s coming out in two weeks, guys, daddy’s going to be in this movie.’ ‘It’s coming out next week, guys.’ ‘It’s coming out in three days!’ ‘It’s coming out tomorrow.’,” Jamie recalled.

He added that his daughters were “so excited, like pandemonium excitement in the house. And then it comes out and I’m like, ‘OK I guess I’ll buy it on iTunes or whatever.’ It’s like 17 pounds, that’s like 25 dollars.”

After renting the movie on iTunes, Jamie realized that it was only available for a few more days after that and kept re-renting it as his daughters wanted to see it again and again.

“So, I’m like, ‘Wow, OK,’ buy it, you know they want it. You only get it for 24 hours, the next day they’re like, ‘Hey we want to watch Trolls again!’ I’m like, ‘Oh, sure.’ I’m gonna have to buy it again. I think I bought it 4 or 5 times!” Jamie says.

Then, he learned that he could’ve had it for free!

“After like a week I got in touch with my agent who was like, ‘Oh, by the way, Universal says there’s a code that you use whenever you want to watch Trolls [World Tour]. I was like, ‘Oh great. I’ve already spent like $300.’”

Jamie plays Chaz in the movie, which is available on all digital markets now.

His wife, Amelia Warner, captured a cute pic of Jamie watching the movie with their daughters, Dulcie, Elva and Alberta.
