00:00
Fifty Shades star Jamie Dornan admits he nearly rejected role because of critics.
00:05
An expectation of brutal reviews didn't stop him earning a neat £4.5 million in the
00:11
end.
00:12
He and his Fifty Shades co-star were accused of having the chemistry of two mannequins.
00:18
Another reviewer said, "Whips, chains and nipple clips are nothing compared to the torture
00:23
of watching this movie."
00:25
But Jamie Dornan was prepared for brutal reviews, and almost turned down the role of Christian
00:31
Grey because he pre-empted the critical savaging.
00:34
Admitting he hesitated before taking the part that has reportedly earned him £4.5 million,
00:41
he says, "You [have] this incredible opportunity that is going to have a big impact on your
00:46
life and change many things, mostly financially, but you know it's going to get panned."
00:52
He tells Jay Rayner's Out To Lunch podcast, Available Now, "We knew that because the books
00:58
were adored by so many.
01:00
But panned by many, it was probably going to be the same thing for the movies."
01:04
Jamie, 36, who also reveals he met Game of Thrones producers but lost out on a part,
01:12
says he treated his Fifty Shades role, alongside Dakota Johnson, like any other acting job
01:18
just simulating more sex.
01:20
Calling Christian "gross," he adds, "I don't think I'll ever play a character less like
01:25
me."
01:26
"That includes the serial killer in the fall," he clarifies.
01:31
How Peter Dinklage Helped Jamie Dornan Prepare for Fifty Shades Freed
01:36
Talk about Fifty Shades of Awkward...The Game of Thrones star rehearsed a very different
01:41
role while helping his new co-star.
01:44
Talk about Fifty Shades of Awkward.
01:46
Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage and Jamie Dornan, who plays Christian Grey in the steamy
01:52
S&M-themed Fifty Shades films, star together in the upcoming HBO movie My Dinner with Herf.
01:59
During their time on set, Dinklage helped his co-star prepare for some reshoots for
02:04
Fifty Shades Freed, the final film in the trilogy, by running lines with him...as his
02:10
on-screen lover Anastasia Steele.
02:12
"I read some of the screenplay...in our dressing room.
02:17
He had to do some reshoots for Fifty Shades and I would help him out, learning lines,"
02:23
Dinklage said on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday.
02:26
"I would read the Dakota Johnson parts.
02:29
I was just helping a friend learn lines.
02:32
I nailed it.
02:33
I really did."
02:35
Both Fifty Shades and Game of Thrones are known for their often explicit sex scenes.
02:40
Stephen Colbert noted how both franchises have "very obsessive, coldish fans."
02:45
"Very different fans," Dinklage said.
02:48
"I think Game of Thrones fans would take issue with comparing the two, 'cause they're, uh,
02:54
Game of Thrones fans are very specific, and lovely."
02:58
"Fifty Shades fans have issues," he added.
