Speaking to TMZ, Charlie Hunnam said he believes Jamie Dornan will be ”great” as Christian Grey in the upcoming Fifty Shades of Grey adaptation of the erotic novel.
The 33-year-old actor said: ”I’m sure he’ll do a great job. I don’t really know his work, but I know Sam Taylor Johnson, the director, is amazing, and she has fantastic taste, so I’m sure he’ll do a great job.”
Hunnam was originally cast as Grey but in mid-October he dropped out of the role because of his busy schedule with Sons of Anarchy. However, some sources claimed the real reason was the attention on the role and pressure.
Dornan, who will play the billionaire Grey, spoke about his preparations for the role.
”I think it’s clear how he conditions himself and looks after himself. I take decent enough care of myself anyway, so obviously I’m gonna up slightly with training, but we don’t have any intention to really bulk up,” he said.
I do not understand what sensational people fin in Fifty Shades of Grey. I read a book and I shouldn’t finish it. I hope the erotic novel won’t turn into a porno Hollywood bestseller. I myself do not care, who will be in the cast as I am not sure I am going to watch it. Sorry, this is something I wouldn’t really want to see. I would die with boredom.))
