In response to the backlash that the film series received, Dornan, a former model, explained, “There’s nothing like ‘Fifty Shades’ in terms of, it was based on books and we were staying very close to these books. If that means people saying, ‘Oh, actually he’s not that bad,’ well, so be it.” “Look, I get it, and, to be honest with you, it spurs me on. “The press is always, ‘It’s the best thing he’s done since “Fifty Shades.” ‘ As if I am still needing to prove myself I am still paying penance for that choice to get me back to where I was beforehand,” he told British GQ.
“Anyway, he dropped it and then I filled in and felt that wrath of hatred.”ĭornan also said he knows “Fifty Shades” will follow him forever, no matter what roles he takes on. Before anyone’s heard him do anything, he’s gonna be really hated.’ And so many people rage against the casting of it alone,” Dornan continued. “I was like, ‘F – – k, that’s great, what a nightmare for that guy. I auditioned for it and then went down the path of that and then someone else got it.” “I was very reluctant,” the Irish actor said. The “Belfast” actor, 39, told British GQ that he was “relieved” when Hunnam, 41, was initially cast in the erotic drama since he was hesitant to jump right into the series. Hunnam was actually attached to star at one point until his abrupt exit paved the way for Jamie Dornan to take on the role.
The “Fifty Shades of Grey” saga would have looked very different if Charlie Hunnam was cast as sexy BDSM maniac Christian Grey.
