Jamie Dornan revealed how he has prepared his self to the challenging role as Christian Grey in the upcoming movie, "Fifty Shades of Grey." In his interview, he said that he hasn't showed all to this film because of the rating R, not NC-17 and has reportedly been binge-reading with E. L. James' Trilogy right after he was casted for this movie.
As cited in Hollywood Life, Dornan said that the production were privy including his manhood. "It's like one of those little satchels that Robin Hood or someone of that era would have tied onto his belt. There's no back. It's tiny... I mean, it's not tiny! Because it gots to hold a lot," Dornan said.
Meanwhile, with his preparations for this role, he explained that upon preparing his self for the Christian Grey's role is easy for him since he has less hair. So, there's no need to shave a lot. All he was much more concerned about is the intense moments with Dakota Johanson, who plays the role of Anastasia Steele. These intense moments include his "sex face."
Dornan added, "It's the worst thing imaginable. For all the reasons anyone would think, most people would like to keep their sex face private. The idea of a million people seeing that! I hope it happens quite fast!"
With the explicit scenes of the film, specifically the tampon scene, director Sam Taylor-Johnson said that they were never discussed.
He detailed, "On the early draft, there was a sense there was way too much sex. The story, of course, is of equal importance," he added, "We tried to balance the narrative correctly, so one doesn't feel like it's drowning the other. It's the buildup that's interesting. I feel that in movies, the minute penetration, it's all over."
Michael De Luca, the producer, also have talked with the author, E. L. James as to how to balance the film with 50/50 - sex and romance. With the film's adaptation from the book, the author agreed to the way it was interpreted and the way it will be shown in the film. She acknowledged that some of the content should be toned down. According to him, there's a different medium in telling a story in books and in film.
"The book needed to put you in Ana's shoes to be a successful experience. The movie didn't need to do that. You can't make a movie as explicit as the book the same way you can't make a movie as explicit as 'Peyton Place' and 'Lolita'," De Luca said to Variety.
On the other side, Dornan complimented Johanson, as his leading lady in the film. He said in an interview with Vogue, she is perfect. "Dakota is very funny - and humor on a film set goes a long way. But she also had the ability to be a strong dramatic actress. She'd be telling a joke one minute and breaking your heart on-screen the next - so she was perfect," he said.
Despite the erotic scenes that they have been filming, Dornan amazingly remained and preserved his modest image. For him, nudity on-screen was not the challenge itself. Playing the part as Christian Grey, he should be adept with the way Grey did with his sex scenes.
