Jamie Dornanwas born to be a girl dad.
“All of it. The monumental challenge of it,” Dornan says. “It’s the best — I don’t know any other way.”
“Three girls, I don’t know how I’d be as a boy dad. I’m not sure I could deal with the energy. I’m someone who has a lot of energy anyway, I’m quite hyper often. We wouldn’t cope if there were three hyper boys in the house.”
“You’re kind of a sensitive type too,” Kotb tells the actor.
“I’m sensitive too, and I think that is beneficial to being a girl dad definitely,” Dornan agrees. “I just love it, like it’s mad. Any version of two of them it’s usually okay, and throw the third in and they’re…” he makes two fists and clashes them together.

In January 2022, Dornan told PEOPLE that his daughterswere “obsessed” with his song fromBarb and Star Take Vista Del Mar.
“They’ve watchedBarb and Star. When I say they watch it, I mean they mostly just watch my song,” Dornan told PEOPLE at the time.
“That’s what they’re obsessed with. Even the 2-year-old’s obsessed with that and wants to watch that all the time. So that’s on our most watched YouTube playlist, probably,” he added.
“Their obsession [withTrolls] was so real that I pleaded with Universal to let me be inTrolls World Tour, which I did a small part in,” he said. “So that was very exciting for the kids to have Daddy in that. And just recently I walked in on our 5-year-old trying to explain that to our 2-year-old. She had sort of pausedTrolls World Tourat the point when my character would come in.”
“And she was trying to explain to the 2-year-old that who she was about to see and hear was actually Daddy,” Dornan explained.
“But the 2 year old, her mind wasn’t really ready for that sort of information. It was too high concept for her. And then I sat with them whilst my part was on and was like going, ‘That’s Daddy!’ And she just wasn’t getting it. So there’s work to be done there,” he joked.
