Fifty Shades Of Grey: 'You Won't See My Manhood', Says Jamie Dornan
Those hoping to catch a glimpse of Jamie Dornan’s… um… unmentionables in the forthcoming ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ movie may be leaving cinemas disappointed.
The Irish actor has revealed that there will be no full-frontal nudity on his part.
- Don Johnson ‘upset’ about Fifty Shades
- Hunnam said he had ‘breakdown’ over Fifty Shades
- Fifty Shades ‘not as hardcore as you think’
Though playing his cards close to his chest about the hotly-anticipated movie, the 32-year-old was firm on this particular point.
“There were contracts in place that said that viewers wouldn’t be seeing my, um… todger,” he told The Observer.
He added that the sex scenes, with his co-star Dakota Johnson, who plays the Anastasia Steele to his Christian Grey in the movie, were far from sexy in real life.
“Anyone who thinks actors get turned on doing sex scenes in films is mistaken,” he said.
“There are dozens of hairy men standing around, moving cables and lighting equipment. That’s not sexy unless you’re into being watched, which I’m not.”
But was his wife, the actress Amelia Warner, cool with him taking on the role?
“She understands that it is work,” he added. “I don’t think we will be watching it together too many times at home, though.
“I don’t want Dakota’s parents watching it either!”
Indeed, it recently emerged, thanks to former Hitchcock muse Tippi Hedren, Dakota’s grandmother, that dad Don Johnson may have been putting on a brave face when he claimed to be calm about her landing the role.
She told The Hollywood Reporter: “I understand Don Johnson is very upset about her being in the film. He kind of had the same feeling that I did.”
But it’s not the former ‘Miami Vice’ star that Dornan is concerned about.
“I’m more concerned about my mates,” he said. “More concerned about the ribbing I’ll get. We’re all quite harsh with each other, in a lovely, known-each-other-all-our-lives way.”
Artist-turned-movie director Sam Taylor-Wood is behind the camera for the film, the adaptation of E.L. James’s erotic best-seller, the fastest-selling paperback book of all time.
It also stars Eloise Mumford, Luke Grimes and singer Rita Ora, and is due out in the UK on February 13.
