Jamie Dornan has revealed that if his kids want to watch Fifty Shades in the future, that’s cool – but not for a “bloody long time!”
The father-of-two, who recently wrapped filming Fifty Shades Darker, admitted that he’d like to take on some less “dark” roles so that his children can watch his films.
However, the Anthropoid star doesn’t mind if his kids wanted to check him out in Fifty Shades, as long as it was in the very distant future.
“Certainly not for a bloody long time! Maybe not the Fifty side of things, but if they wanted to watch that one day and see what daddy does, then that’s cool,” he told Entertainment Tonight.

“I am mindful that I have two children now. There is part of me that does want to do something they can watch soon – that is kind of lighthearted – because I don’t consider myself a dark or menacing person despite what I portray onscreen. I definitely want to have the opportunity to show other sides as well.”
Speaking about portraying Christian Grey for the second time, Jamie admitted that he definitely feels more comfortable this time around.
“I felt more comfortable the second time around. There was a lot of pressure the first time. I think when you’re making the first film of any franchise there is a lot of pressure in terms of setting a tone and the way it’s shot and the way it’s played and finding your feet with it.
“It was very strange that I came into that job six weeks before they started filming, which is totally unheard of in a franchise of that size – and not the way you want to go into any job, really.

“This time I felt I had a lot more time on my hands. And the pressure seemed to be off a bit with every department because the first one made so much money. Everyone was in a better place about it. So it was definitely a better experience,” he explained.
When asked if he would be showing “the full monty” in the next instalment of the Fifty Shades franchise, the 34-year-old wasn’t too sure himself.
“I hear ya! The truth is that I don’t know the answer to that. You’ll have to wait and see,” he laughed.

Speaking about his sex symbol status, Jamie revealed that he “can’t be annoyed with that sort of status” – and that it comes with the territory.
“You know, that’s all frivolous and fun and I don’t pay a huge amount of attention to it.
“You certainly can’t be annoyed with that sort of status. It goes with the territory a little bit. But I guess my thing is not to pay a great deal of heed to it,” he added.
