Jamie Dornan is playing the notorious Christian Grey in the much-anticipated movie adaption of "Fifty Shades of Grey." But the 32-year-old actor is very much aware that his role in the 2015 erotic film was not well-accepted by all. Hence, he was unfazed when legions of furious female fans shouted their discontentment at him.
Though Jamie Dornan admitted that being publicly screamed at is not a wonderful experience, the Northern Irish actor appeared to have realized that it's nearly impossible to satisfy every single Christian Grey fans. Because according to the actor, they have already imagined their own Christian Grey persona while reading E.L. James' bestselling novel, "Fifty Shades of Grey."
"The other day, this woman came up and started shouting at me, 'Matt Bomer's the real Christian Grey,'" Jamie Dornan told Elle magazine. "And I was like, 'Um, OK.' I mean, even if you cast Matt Bomer, or Alexander Skarsgard, or Charlie Hunnam, or any of those other guys-we'd all just be doing our best, you know?"
"Christian Grey - he isn't a real person," the "Fifty Shades of Grey" actor added. "He's a superhero - a myth. He's like Bigfoot! He's unbelievable. He's unattainable. [And] there's no actor in the world who could live up to that."
However, the film's screenwriter Kelly Marcel said Jamie Dornan did a great job portraying the role of Christian Grey particularly when it comes to steering the elaborate, risqué sex scenes required for the BDSM-themed flick.
"Mmmm... he's soft and hard at once, like steel encased in velvet, surprisingly tasty, salty and smooth. He's my own Christian Grey-flavored popsicle," this was a famous line taken from a specific sexy part of the book that has made into film as revealed by Marcel in an interview at DBA in Hollywood for the "An Evening in the Writer's Room" series in August. And The Daily Mail reported that she described the portrayal as brilliant.
"They apparently did that scene great," Marcel said, as yourMovies quoted. "Apparently Jamie is great at being soft and hard at the same time, which is hard to do for an actor! He's going to get an Oscar!"
Jamie Dornan and "Fifty Shades of Grey" fans will be delighted on Valentines' Day as the film opens in theaters on Feb. 13.
