Jamie Dornan became a household name after 50 Shades of Grey was released
While Jamie Dornan has enjoyed a very successful career across his varied portfolio of work, his starring role in 50 Shades of Grey will always stand out.
While he currently stars as the amnesiac Elliot in BBC drama The Tourist (with a second season coming in January), the Northern Irish actor has revealed he still gets messages from fans of the erotic film trilogy.
Speaking to the Irish Times, Dornan said: “The fandom of that franchise is still feverish. They’ve got all kinds of mad theories. Like that Dakota [Johnson, his Fifty Shades costar] and I have a child together. I don’t know who they think brings it up!”
Going into further detail about the thirsty fandom, he highlighted that it got to a point where a stalking incident occurred when some “bullshit tabloid” published photos of his home.
“At one point, we had a stalking, getting-the-authorities involved situation.”
Thankfully, the fandom is now reserved to sending him saucy messages on his Instagram, with the 41-year-old said that he gets “all kinds of mad stuff, which if I’m honest I’m quite fearful of, so I stay away from it.”
The fear seems completely understandable, to be quite honest.
