Fifty Shades of Grey star Jamie Dornan has joked about being cast as a “sick psychopath”.
The 32-year-old actor, who is best known for playing the part of Christian Grey in the film adaptation of the E.L. James novel Fifty Shades of Grey, considers himself to be an easygoing personality, but says his on-screen roles are often the exact opposite.Jamie – who also starred in the BBC show The Fall as a serial killer – shared: “I consider myself quite light-hearted, pretty easy-going, and I keep playing sick psychopath b*****ds! It kinda worries me sometimes how comfortable I am in that zone.”The Fifty Shades of Grey movie – which also stars Dakota Johnson – has been greeted by mixed reviews, but Jamie isn’t surprised by the negative publicity.
He told the Guardian newspaper: “You know, I’m not naive as to why people would think it was a bad [career] choice, or why there is a snobbery about it.
“But I’m also not stupid, and I knew with [director] Sam [Taylor-Johnson], and [cinematographer] Seamus McGarvey, the film would be in safe hands. And, you know, it does no harm to be in a film that makes half a billion dollars.”
