Marcia Gay Harden talks about Jamie (March 2014)

This aura of mystery surrounding Jamie Dornan is a good thing, says Marcia Gay Harden, who plays his character's mother in the "Fifty Shades of Grey".

"I think the point is to have somebody mysterious because if you have somebody with too much pedigree to them ... you can't stop thinking about the pedigree. You just can't. It's almost impossible in a film to do that. ... I think that would be very hard to do for that role, so I think it's good that he's a bit of a mystery."

Dornan had a recurring role on ABC's "Once Upon a Time" and starred in the Irish TV drama series "The Fall" as a serial killer who targets women. The show was renewed for a second season.

So, what can she share about him?

"He's beautiful. He's chiseled beauty and the camera eats it up. He's an Irish boy. ... A U.K.-based actor who has done a bit of film. He just had a baby (with wife Amelia Warner). ... He's a sweet guy. He does surfing. He sings little Irish ditties occasionally," she said.
