Jamie Dornan is the new "Christian Grey" in Fifty Shades of Grey |
A new star for the upcoming film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey has been announced. The Hollywood Reporter shares that UK star Jamie Dornan will replace Charlie Hunnam in the leading role of "Christian Grey."
The U.K.-based Dornan was first revealed as a contender for the role of kinky billionaire Grey by THR on Oct. 14. He is the star of the U.K. series The Fall and might be best-known to U.S. audiences for playing the Huntsman in ABC's Once Upon a Time. Born in Northern Ireland, he's a former Calvin Klein model and dated Keira Knightley for two years.
Universal was under pressure to begin production Nov. 1 on the high-profile project in order to meet an Aug. 1, 2014, release date. If Dornan's deal closes, he will be signed for three and possibly four Fifty Shades movies based on the erotic book, assuming the first film is successful.
