The wonderful thing about Tigger? They make Jamie Dornan one fun-loving dad.
In a Wednesday chat with Ellen DeGeneres on her daytime talk show, the notoriously private Fifty Shades Freed star opened up a little about his life at home with wife Amelia Warner and their two daughters: Elva, 2½, and Dulcie, who will celebrate her fifth birthday in November.
“Two years in a row, we’ve done Winnie the Pooh-themed [parties],” said Dornan, 36, admitting he was “quite sad” that they’d be embracing a different theme this year.
On cue, a selfie of the Irish actor in full Tigger costume appeared on the screen behind the pair, showing an unmistakable party tent in the background as Dornan makes a face for the camera.
“I’m drunk in that picture. That’s not early on, that’s after the kids [had left],” he admitted with a laugh. “There’s always lots of other Tiggers there — invariably, a lot of the other little kids are Tiggers — but I’m the biggest Tigger.”

“I think the moms show up a lot at those things anyway,” the star responded humbly, shifting in his seat.
“Yeah, but more so, if you’re there,” the host ribbed him as the audience cracked up.
