Jamie Dornan Makes Fun Of Warren Beatty For Falling For An Email Scam

Jamie Dornan got a little “OK, boomer” while telling a story about Warren Beatty .

Last week, a new episode of the “Happy Sad Confused ” podcast was released, in which Dornan made fun of Beatty for falling for an email scam involving fellow actor Eddie Redmayne. Dornan is a longtime friend of Redmayne; it’s unknown how Redmayne and Beatty know each other.

“So it all sort of makes sense,” he said.

In 2017, Beatty presented the award for Best Picture at the Academy Awards alongside his “Bonnie and Clyde” co-star, Faye Dunaway. In one of the biggest
