Dornan’s Grey Doubts

Irish actor, Jamie Dornan, who shot to fame with the silver screen adaptation of EL James' erotic-romance Fifty Shades of Grey, has recently revealed that initially he was skeptical about playing the male lead in a movie of this nature, fearing that it might garner negative criticism from fans and critics alike. In a recent discussion with English journalist Jay Rayner, Dornan said, "It's very odd, to be honest. You are presented with this incredible opportunity that is going to have a big impact on your life and change many things to be honest mostly financially, but also career, it'll open so many doors - but you know it's going to get panned ... You're trying to do the best you can and make the best of it, but we knew that because the books were adored by many, bought by many, but panned by many (it was) probably going to be the same thing for the movies." However, Dornan added that he took on the role eventually because of the financial opportunities it presented. Dornan made his final appearance as the notorious lover, Christian Grey in the last installment of the Fifty Shades trilogy, Fifty Shades Freed in 2018.
