Jamie Dornan says it’s “total bollocks” his wife banned him from starring in a Fifty Shades of Grey sequel.
The 32-year-old actor, who played the role of Christian Grey in the film adaptation of the best-selling book by author E.L. James, has been rumoured to want out of the franchise, but he insists his wife – actress Amelia Warner – has no qualms about him appearing in the films.
He shared: “The idea was that we honour the trilogy and do all three [movies].”
Asked whether his wife is keen for him to quit the role because of the explicit sex scenes, he replied: “Total bollocks!”
Jamie revealed his wife read the movie’s script before it was released, and is fully supportive of him.
He told the Daily Mail newspaper: “Of course [Amelia] would have read the scripts well in advance, and she’s massively supportive of Fifty Shades.”
Jamie also dismissed suggestions there was a lack of chemistry with his co-star Dakota Johnson, 25.
He said: “They wouldn’t have shot the film with us if there was a chemistry problem … whatever chemistry means. You have to jump through a lot of hoops to get a part like this, and they simply wouldn’t have cast us.”
