Jamie Dornan Researched S&M In Person For 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Role
He even visited a special dungeon to play the S&M-loving billionaire Christian Grey. "I went there, they offered me a beer, and they did whatever they were into. I saw a dominant with one of his two submissives," he tells Elle UK. "I was like: 'Come on, guys, I know I'm not paying for this, but I am expecting a show.'" "It was an interesting evening. Then going back to my wife and newborn baby afterwards... I had a long shower before touching either of them." Dornan says they were careful not to make the film's love scenes "something gratuitous, ugly and graphic." "You want to appeal to as wide an audience as possible without grossing them out," he explains. "Anyone who thinks actors get turned on doing such 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." 'Fifty Shades of Grey' has a release date of Valentine's Day 2015.
Jamie Dornan says he did more than read or hear about S&M to prepare for his role in 'Fifty Shades of Grey'.
