Speaking in an interview about the year gone by, Jamie explained his struggle to cope with all the praise he received for his latest projects, Belfast and The Tourist amid his father’s death.

Jamie said, “It’s a strange thing to end the year with all this positivity... because on many levels it’s been the worst year of my life, and the hardest.”
