Andrew James Matfin "Jamie" Bell (born 14 March 1986) is an English actor. He is best known for his roles in the films Billy Elliot (2000), King Kong (2005), Jumper (2008), and The Adventures of Tintin (2011).
Bell was born in Billingham, County Durham, England, where he grew up with his mother, Eileen (née Matfin), and older sister, Kathryn. His father, John Bell, a toolmaker, left before Bell was born. Bell began his involvement with dance after he accompanied his sister to her ballet lessons. He was a pupil at Northfield School and took performing arts classes at the local franchise of Stagecoach Theatre Arts. He was a member of the National Youth Music Theatre. In 1999, he was chosen from a field of over 2,000 boys for the role of Billy Elliot, an 11-year-old boy who dismays his working class widowed father and older brother by taking up ballet.
Bell served as Honorary Jury President of the 2001 Giffoni Film Festival. Since his film debut in Billy Elliot, he has appeared as the disabled servant Smike in an adaptation of Nicholas Nickleby, a young soldier in Deathwatch, a teenager on the run in Undertow, a gun-toting pacifist in Dear Wendy, a disaffected Southern California teenager in The Chumscrubber, and the young Jimmy in the 2005 film version of King Kong. He also appeared in Close and True, an ITV legal drama shown in 2000, which starred Robson Green, James Bolam and Susan Jameson. In 2007, he played the title character in Hallam Foe – for which he was nominated for the best actor award at the British Independent Film Awards – and appeared as himself in lonelygirl15 spin-off KateModern.
I'm all alone wait by the phone
There's no time for me (oh no no)
So here I am starring at the wall
I can't believe that you're really gone
My girlfriend, my only, my homie
Since you left I'm feeling cold and lonely
I reminisce all the good times we had
Me and myself empty and sad
What shall I do now? give me a sign
I'm praying to god please reverse time
I miss you so much my girl
The world is not the same alone by myself
I'm all alone wait by the phone
There's no time for me
I'm all alone wait by the phone
There's no time for me (oh no no)
I never forget will always remember
And still celebrate your birthday in November
I wrote this song just for you my girl
You stay in my heart 'till the end of the world
Wherever you are, I hope you have a good time
I know you can’t see me, writing this rhymes
But I'm all alone wait by the phone
Wishing on a star for you to come home
I miss you so much my girl
The world is not the same alone by myself
I'm all alone wait by the phone
There's no time for me
I'm all alone wait by the phone
There's no time for me (oh no no)
Maybe I wake up and it was all a dream
Maybe is life nothing is what it seems
Maybe, its just the way it goes
Maybe you can go as quick as the wind blows
Maybe you're an angel and already in heaven
Maybe the answers are hidden in the questions
Maybe But one thing is true
No matter what I do I won't forget you
I'm all alone wait by the phone
There's no time for me
(I'm all alone)
I’m all alone wait by the phone
There’s no time for me
(I'm all alone)
I’m all alone oh no no
There’s no time for me oh no no
I’m all alone, I’m all alone, yeah
