Jamie Dornan has revealed being part of the 50 Shades franchise can be a ‘burden’ on his career.
The Belfast native plays Christian Grey in the film series and has become a household name thanks to his role, but admitted to being tied to the one character can be difficult.
“It certainly can [a burden],” he said.

The actor admitted that even though it’s a job that many people know him from, it still is just a job.
“You just have to see that as that’s just one job,” he told Eamon Holmes on This Morning.
“Granted that it’s a job that a majority of people know you from solely for that, especially in the States.
“It is to me – and I’d say any actor who’s involved in any franchise would say the same thing – it is another job.
“Then you sort of move on to the next thing and play a different character, then it becomes about that.”

The 43-year-old also revealed that he has never taken a single acting class.
“Not really, no. If I was ever in L.A. in the early years I would go to a class there,” he told Eamon Holmes and on This Morning.
“I do think it’s an instinctual craft.
“I didn’t grow up thinking I wanted to be an actor.”

The notoriously private father-of-two also admitted that his oldest daughter Dulcie is very excited about having a little sister.
“It’s the most magical thing in the world.
“When she wakes up she just wants to see the baby instantly,” he added.
“I’m a young father and I want to spend time with my kids.
“They come everywhere with me which we can afford to do at the moment before the kids start school.”
