Jamie Dornan Says He ‘Hid Out’ at Sam Taylor-Johnson’s House While Dealing with ‘Ridicule’ After ’50 Shades of Grey’

The actor revealed that the juxtaposition of earning rave reviews for starring in “The Fall” and mockery for his role as Christian Grey took a toll on him.

In a recent appearance on the BBC 4 radio show “Desert Island Discs,” Dornan opened up about the initial wave of bad publicity after Sam Taylor-Johnson’s first “50 Shades of Grey” film hit theaters in 2015. He explained that the film’s poor reviews stung him given his recent acting successes, prompting him to hide out in Taylor-Johnson’s country home until the bad press blew over. Dornan went on to say that his disappointment with the film was exacerbated by his realization that its financial success would require him to reprise his role as Christian Grey two more times.
