Jamie Dornan has indeed prepared for his role in the much-awaited erotic romance movie "Fifty Shades of Grey."
According to E! Online, the Irish actor has put it into the next level to prepare himself for the Christian Grey role. So what exactly did he do?
E! Online citing the February issue of the Elle UK Magazine said that Dornan has revealed that he went to a "sex dungeon" for him to be able to get how it is to be a sex sadist.
"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 was quoted as saying in the magazine.
"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," he added.
Earlier, Dornan told E! Online that he will not be showing his manhood in the upcoming movie as it was stipulated in the contract he signed.
"You want to appeal to as wide an audience as possible without grossing them out...You don't want to make something gratuitous, ugly and graphic," he added.
When he was asked about his love scenes with Dakota Johnson who plays the lead role of Anastasia Steele, he dismissed the public's common notion that actors can get turn on during bed scenes on the set. He said that actors usually do not get a turned on as there are absolutely "dozens of hairy men" around the set. He said that he does not find it sexy that people get to watch him at those moments.
