Jamie Dornan is the new Christian Grey
From Variety:
Dornan plays Sheriff Graham Humbert in ABC series “Once Upon a Time”; he’s also played a serial killer in BBC Two crime drama “The Fall,” and he appeared in Sofia Coppola’s “Marie Antoinette.” The 31-year-old thesp performs in an Irish folk duo and has modeled for Calvin Klein, Christian Dior and Armani. His modeling experience may be useful, as the part will require him to act in explicitly sexual scenes.
Dakota Johnson will co-star as Anastasia Steele, with Sam Taylor-Johnson on board to direct.
Universal and Focus Features declined to comment.
The project was hit with a huge curveball when Hunnam departed after being attached for just a month. Universal said Hunnam’s exit was due to scheduling issues with “Sons of Anarchy” and upcoming movie “Crimson Peak,” but some sources said battles over a rewrite and the actor’s doubts about the part may have played a part in his decision.
When Hunnam exited, U and Focus execs decided to go for more of a discovery and brought in Dornan and Billy Magnussen to test with Johnson last Friday. There was a thought to bring in more actors to test, but as of Wednesday morning sources said no one else had been brought in.
Universal will now work quickly to land thesps for the remaining supporting roles that include Steele’s roommate Kate, a role U for which had already been testing actresses prior to Hunnam’s exit.
Michael De Luca is on to produce the adaptation of E.L. James’ sexy bestseller, which is set to bow Aug. 1, 2014.
Dornan is repped by UTA and United Agents. Image Attachment(s):

Re: Jamie Dornan is the new Christian Grey
I think Dakota is PERFECT...I totally get that young, impressionable vibe
I think he works also--I might not have picked him but it could work

Re: Jamie Dornan is the new Christian Grey
I heard on the radio he is one of 3 ....but was NOT a definite. They said they do a chemistry test between Dakota and the the 3 candidates. I dont remember the other 2 in the running.

This did help. He will do. I dont think anyone will be 100% happy since we all have a different mental pic of CG.

Nope. Not CG. I feel like this movie is going to be a huge bust. Not just because of the casting.

Scott Eastwood posted this photo to his IG account last night right after Jamie Dornan was announced. So I have no idea what's going on

I remember thinking he was very cute on Once Upon A Time. I agree that nobody is going to be 100% happy no matter who they pick. He's not perfect but he will do.

Re: Jamie Dornan is the new Christian Grey
I love this choice. He was never my vision of CG, but I don't really care. Even though I enjoyed the idea of Charlie...I actually think Jamie is more the CG "type". And I like that he isn't SUPER well known.
