Jamie Dornan stars as billionaire entrepreneur Christian
Grey in a scene from the motion picture "Fifty Shades of
Gray."
This Fifty Shades behind-the-scenes extra (part of the
May 8 Blu-Ray release) shows a very different side of
Dornan, the 32-year-old actor who portrays supremely
serious billionaire Christian Grey.
Director Sam Taylor-Johnson points out that Dornan is a
"perfectly-pitched" Grey, partly for his "elegance."
"But he also brings exactly what Christian is, that slight
one step removed in mystery," says Taylor-Johnson.
Dornan does humanize himself with some behind-the-
scenes antics and outright laughter. He's self-deprecating
when he points out that he didn't jump at the Grey part of
the kinky billionaire.
"I didn't immediately think, 'Oh ya that's me. I'm the guy,"
says Grey.
Even co-star Dakota Johnson says Dornan was light-
hearted onset, much more than the other candidates for
the coveted role.
"Jamie came in and was cracking jokes the whole time,"
says Johnson. "He was trying to out-joke me. He made it
light and that was so different from what other people
were doing. That was really awesome, really refreshing.
