MAN OF STEELE

Former underwear model turned TV psycho and cinematic sex symbol, Jamie Dornan doesn't want to be pigeon-holed as Anastasia Steele's hunk. As The Fall returns and Christian Grey goes Fifty Shades Darker, Total Film catches up with an ambitious actor with a busy slate, determined to break out of his sex symbol stereotype.

With his granite features, immaculate suits and buttoned-up emotions, Christian Grey really is Fifty Shades of Grey... at least until he gets into his red room of pain and lets it all hang out. Jamie Dornan, the 34 year old model turned actor who rocketed from Hollywood to play him, makes for a rather more colourful encounter. He is, in short, not at all you expect.

"Someone's just told me I've come runner-up to Tom Hiddleston in 'rear of the year'," he shares, genuinely perplexed (as are we - he should have been number one). "I don't think, as an actor, you set out to achieve that. Truth be told, I pay no fucking notice."

But surely it meant something, in the heyday o modelling for Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss and Armani, to be labelled 'The Golden Torso' by The NewYork Times? "I never had a big plan to do modelling," he shrugs. "I got coerced into it. I never fully committed and my attitude was a big shit. I was always trying to do the acting thing. But I didn't get training. Some of my least favorite actors - boring, predictable - went to RADA and shit. Acting is instinctual." He grins. "Though you'd never see me trying to do Shakespeare anywhere near Stratford because I'm not trained and I'd make a fucking idiot out of myself."

Relaxed, strikingly down to earth and, to put it mildly, garrulous, Dornan delivers such vivid comments damn near every time he opens mouth. "I didn't ask Kim Basinger about 9 1/2 Weeks," he admits when quizzed about teaming up the '80s steam queen on supersequel Fifty Shades Darker.

"I didn't have big enough balls, in the way that maybe someone won't be able to look me in the eye one day and talk about Fifty Shades."

Total Film is looking Dornan in the eye, sort of. Today's chat is happening via Skype. He's sitting in the living room of his rustic house in south-east England, dressed down in a navy blue t-shirt and trying to maintain equilibrium when his two year old daughter wanders into the room naked and starts hammering on the piano. At TF's end, events take an alarming turn when the dog humps the beanbag. There is no time for distractions, however: Dornan has a raft of fascinating projects to tell us about.

First up, released within a week of each other at the start of September, are Anthropoid and The 9th Life of Louis Drax. The former is true-life tale of the daring WW2 mission to assassinate SS General Reinhard Heydrich, third in command of the Third Reich and prime archiect of the Final Solution. Sean Ellis' follow up to his award winning 2013 crime drama Metro Manila, it sees Dornan and Cillian Murphy play, respectively, the Slovakian and Czech soldiers charged with completing the kamikaze mission. The 9th Life of Louis Drax, meanwhile, is a mystery-thriller based on the bestseller by Liz Jensen and directed by Alexandre Aja (Switchblade Romance, Horns). It gifts Dornan the lead role of a comatose boy's doctor who's determined to find out the truth circumstances of the child's 'accidest' -  a quest that takes bizarre turns when reality bleeds into fantasy in a manner not dissimilar to Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labrinth.

"I'd just seen Metro Manilla before I got sent the script, so it felt like this serendipitous thing," Dornan says of Anthropoid. "I was banging on to my wife about how nuch I'd love work with Sean Ellis. To be honest, it could have been a short film about a man waiting for a number 52 bus. But I do like idea of playing people that actually existed. Fifty Shades is fantasy, fictional, out there..." He laughs, rubs his jaw. "I feel like I want to do real stuff. The guy I played in Marie Antoinette was real but he died years and years ago." Another laugh. "I loved this story. I thought it could touch people. Human characters with human flaws. I was very excited to play someone vulnerable. I'm used to playing people who are controlling."

And Drax? "I'd never read anything like it. Clever and unique. I did think we would have a task on our hands in terms of how to marry the supernatural aspect of it with the straight story. For me, it's again a total depature from anything I've done. And that's what I want to do keep playing characters that are different."

There are exceptions, of course. One of these is Christian Grey, who Dornan last week finished portraying in sequels Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed, shot back to back. The other is the role that accelerated his acting career: serial killer Paul Spector in BBC2's riveting cat and mouse crime series The Fall.

"I knew it was great, based on the scripts," he says. "I had never been up for anything like that. And I'd never had someone see that in me, that I could play menace or darkness. If you come from modelling, you only get offered certain jobs... boyfriend... you know, the usual shit." He pauses. "I actually auditioned for another part. For a policeman. Whatever I did, I convinced them I was a psycopath."

For two series now, Spector - counsellor, family man, slayer of young women - has tormented the coolly charismatic DSI Stella Gibson (Gillian Anderson). The finale of Season 2 suggested that their dance of death was over (no spoilers here). Then came the announcement that both would return in Season 3...

"There's a twisty element to it that you will not see coming," Dornan promises, his word finally slowing as he chooses them carefully. "It's certainly... a very interesting place to take it. I mean, I couldn't believe it when Allan Cubitt, who created it, told me what happens with my character. That's all I can really say."

Fine - he's clearly uncomfortable saying even one word more. But let's just make him really squirm before moving on the Fifty Shades movies: how does it feel to have so many viewers find the character that he describes as a 'sick, sick man' so very, very hot?

The biggest laugh yet. "It says more about them, doesn't it? Fuck, I don't know what to say about really. Look, if he has the effect on people, I would hope that comes more from us trying to give him some kind of charm and making him someone who is relatable, fancy-able, who could live next door to you, who could be your bereavement counsellor, which is all in the story, I hope, I hope." He takes a breath, shudders, and then adds, rather worryingly, "He's the one character I find hard to shake off."

Still, Dornan insists you have to be fearless about full-heartedly embracing such challenging or risque material as The Fall and Fifty Shades. The first Fifty Shades introduced billionaire Christian Grey as he demonstrated his kinks to virginal student Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson), making her blush at both ends. It failed to satisfy reviewers but went all the way at the box office, taking $571m. Fifty Shades Darker is set to penetrate deeper.

"It opens doors in terms of getting a better understanding of why he is the way he is, and why he feels the need to control. But we also get to see more of what the books would say is a 'vanilla relationship'. We get to see more of him and Ana having a regular existence, a relationship. But then things happen along the way to test that..."

One of the things that happens is that Christian's business partner, Elena Lincoln (Basinger), enters the picture - as readers of E.L. James' trilogy of bestselling books will know, she is the older woman who first introduced Master Grey to the pleasures (and pains) of BDSM. But there are key changes behind the camera, too: James Foley (Glengarry Glen Ross, Fear) took over the directorial reins from Sam Taylor-Johnson, who didn't have the smoothest of relationships with E.L. James; and the screenplay was this time penned by James' husband, Niall Leonard (TV shows Wild At Heart and Wire In The Blood). Is it fair to say that the author, like her male protagonist, is something of a control freak?

"These are Erika's babies," Dornan says. "She's very right to have a strong opinion on all Fifty Shades. But Erika and James Foley have a good relationship. They get on very well. He brings a different energy. He's going to put his own stamp on it."

With all this work (there's also Netflix premiere Jadotville, about 155 Irish troops who were besieged by thousands of French, Belgian and Rhodesian mercenaries in the Congo in 1961), you have to wonder if he ever gets a second himself. The answer is no, but mainly because he has two young children with his English actress/musician wife, Amelia Warner.

"I have the quietest family life," he says. "My wife and I were watching a movie last night. We got the kids to bed  and I had a glass of red wine in my hand. I was like, 'Fuck, I don't even think I can finish this. What's the time?' It was 8.30. I was like, 'It's too early to go to bed?' She was like, 'We can't go to bed before nine.' We just about scraped it. I was holding my eyelids open."

Jamie Dornan: sex symbol, leading man, tucked up asleep by 9pm. Like we said - not at all what you'd expect.

Tara Lee Talks About 'The Fall' Season 3 and Jamie

Everyone wants to know what it’s like to work with Jamie Dornan, she said.

New Interview of Jamie with Associated Press

AP - Don't look for Jamie Dornan on social media. He's had it.

Specifically, he's had it with hate-mongering trolls he's encountered despite a hyper fan base for "Fifty Shades" and "The Fall."

"To be honest, I was very inactive on it in the last year," he said during a recent round of interviews for two upcoming films, "Anthropoid" and "The 9th Life of Louis Drax."

"To delete my Instagram ... I had to email my publicist to get the password. Twitter I used to have a bit of fun with back in the day but I think I've tweeted twice in the last year," Dornan said.

 

The reality of living life out loud on social media looks like this from his perspective:

"The more public interest in you, the more horrible people become," Dornan said. "People start to say disgusting things about your family, about your children. What's the point?"

Actress Aisling Bea Talks About Jamie and 'The Fall' Season 3

Aisling Bea has gushed about her new co-star Jamie Dornan after landing a role in series three of gritty crime series The Fall.

The Irish comedian’s stock has been soaring over the last year and she’s landed a number of juicy TV parts, most notably in the BBC’s dark serial killer drama.

And the Kildare woman revealed she was thrilled to be cast alongside the X-Files’ Gillian Anderson and Fifty Shades star Dornan.

She told the Irish Sunday Mirror: “Everyone was so lovely on it, a very warm group of people. There’s loads of lovely Irish actors in it. We filmed it all up in Belfast, which is just stunning. Everyone in Belfast has such a great sense of humour. It was actually quite a warm job for something that tackles such a dark subject matter.”

Although he plays cold, calculating serial killer Paul Spector in the show, Aisling revealed that Jamie Dornan couldn’t have been nicer on set.

She said: “He’s so sweet. He’s a big comedy fan. He’s a wonderful guy and has no airs or graces. He’s one of those big stars and there’s pictures of him around the world. But he’s just very down to earth, very humble, a big family man. He had another little baby on the way when we were filming, so his wife was quite pregnant during it. He’d rush home every Friday to make sure he got loads of time with his family. He’s really a really good egg, he’s just a good guy. He’s very funny as well, in a dry humoured way.”

She's hugely excited to have landed a part in 'The Fall' and admits to having been nervous during the first week of shooting. "I'd done a lot of stand-up and had to jump straight into a dramatic part," she says of a role that she insists she can't talk about, although she did have to put on a Northern accent and got to film alongside '50 Shades of Grey' star Jamie Dornan for most of her scenes.

'The Fall' is on Netflix's Most Binge-Watched Shows Scale

From Coming Soon

Netflix members around the world are making their own rules when it comes to watching TV. Instead of one episode per week, Netflix members choose to binge watch their way through a series – that is, on average, finishing an entire season in one week. Though binge watching is clearly the new normal, not all series are enjoyed the same way. Today Netflix unveils The Binge Scale, revealing which shows we devour and which we savor.

Archie Panjabi Talks About 'The Fall' and Mentions Jamie

Archie Panjabi has confirmed that she won't be returning to The Fall for its much-anticipated third series - but will be tuning in as a fan.

The actress played inscrutable pathologist Tanya Reed Smith in both series, who went on to have a flirtation with Gillian Anderson's enigmatic DSI Stella Gibson.

The Good Wife star told Digital Spy of her departure: "Sadly, the schedules didn't work out with that, but I absolutely will be tuning in to watch it, as not only am I a fan of the show, I'm good friends with Gillian and very fond of Jamie [Dornan] and the team.

"So I'm looking forward to that, which I think is out soon."

On working with Anderson and Dornan - who plays serial killer Paul Spector - she continued: "It was excellent.

"Gillian's a lot of fun, very intelligent, has great ideas and creates a lovely atmosphere on set. Same with Jamie - I had less time with Jamie but still we had a good amount of fun on set.

"When you can have fun on set it just makes the job a lot easier. I believe your performances are much better as well if you have a good chemistry with the other actors.

"I'm a big fan of the team so I look forward to seeing that."

BBC Two confirmed earlier this year that the BAFTA-nominated thriller will come to an end after series 3 later this year.

DS Tom Anderson (Colin Murray) is set to return, along with series regulars John Lynch (Jim Burns), Valene Kane (Rose Stagg), Emmett J Scanlan (Glenn Martin), Stuart Graham (Matt Eastwood), Bronagh Waugh (Sally Ann Spector) and Aisling Franciosi (Katie Benedetto).

Speaking about her role in The Fall, Gillian explained how she came to work with Jamie Dornan: “I was involved in the casting on that and we looked at a lot of actors and there were some fantastic auditions and Jamie’s just was very, very clear that he really stood out and I fought very hard for him to get the role.”

Hurler Shane McNaughton to Play in 'The Fall' - He Talks About Jamie

From Independent.ie

McNaughton will feature for Cushendall in their first All-Ireland club hurling final on St Patrick's Day, but he is also coming to our television screens soon after playing a small role in the third series of the hit RTE/BBC co-production The Fall. 

In the search for a new challenge, the 28-year-old turned to acting during rehabilitation from a serious hip injury and was quickly cast in the role of Oxford student James Wentworth in Say You'll Remember Me, which ran at Belfast's MAC Theatre last month. 

Hurling sidelined his theatrical participation growing up, but despite a lack of experience, he quickly turned heads and was coaxed into auditioning for The Fall in London, before getting a part and even standing-in for Fifty Shades of Grey star Dornan. 

"You're seeing the likes of Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dornan which was a bit surreal because I've never been involved in anything like that before. And I was his stand-in for a few days in between reading my own lines," McNaughton told the Sunday Independent. 

"It's no big part, blink and you'll miss me, but I had a few lines. I'm not even sure if they'll show it but I know they paid me for the week's work and it was a good experience. Even if nothing comes of it, it's a different string to my bow." 

He wasn't one bit overawed by Dornan and admits he'd be "more intimidated meeting Henry Shefflin". 

No stage compares to Croke Park for McNaughton, but he acknowledges that he felt out of his comfort zone and suffered some stage fright.

More info about his character from Irish Examiner

Irish audiences will get a chance to be entertained by McNaughton later this year when he plays a role in the new series of acclaimed Belfast-based drama The Fall. 

“I’ll be playing a doctor, I can’t really say a whole lot about it, it’s a small part,” said McNaughton

Gerard McCarthy Talks About 'The Fall' and Mentions Jamie

Gerard McCarty to BelfastLive: "I haven't been told officially when it's back on, but I have read on a few different websites saying that it was definitely going to be this year.

 "I think by the time they finish shooting in April and they get it all cut together maybe it will be October/November time, but I genuinely have no idea.

 "I hope it's not during the summer as it's the kind of show when it's dark outside and you're sat in your living room wetting yourself that Jamie Dornan is going to come round and slit your throat and paint your nails for you, it's that kind of show.

 "I remember when we were doing the first series and there were people on Facebook saying, come on round Jamie the back door is open, it's hilarious, only in Belfast, we've no shame."
