He could dish it out in the movie, but apparently couldn’t take it in real life.
Jamie Dornan said on the BBC’s Desert Island Discs that he and his wife shut themselves off from the world in a bid to escape the arrows which greeted his film Fifty Shades of Grey‘s release in 2015.
Fifty Shades of Grey explores the sadomasochistic relationship between college graduate Anastasia Ana Steele, played by Dakota Johnson, and the tycoon Christian Grey, played by Dornan.
“I think I hid,” Dornan says of the first film. “I am coming off the back of career altering reviews for The Fall to just ridicule, almost.”
Sanctuary was found at the country home of the film’s director, Sam Taylor-Johnson, and her actor husband, Aaron.
“They let us have their place in the country and we sort of hid there for a while and just shut ourselves from the world a bit and then sort of came out the other side.”
Dornan went on to make two more films in the series.
“It [the film] made so much money that two or three were like greenlit overnight. It was a strange thing, because then you are like, there is a bit of ridicule here and I’m now contractually doing two more of them and knowing that there would be more of that damnation to come.”
Dornan went on to to win rave reviews for his starring roles in Belfast and The Tourist. But he said he had no regrets about making Fifty Shades of Grey, even though he was constantly being reminded of its failings.
“I have just had very glowing reviews for recent work and there wouldn’t be many of them that don’t mention Fifty Shades in them. A lot of reviews are like, ‘He’s great, but lest we forget when he wasn’t great…’ But regrets that I did them, no.”

Filmmaker Matthew Vaughn’s spy film, “Argylle,” is in theaters now, and it hasn’t exactly lit up the box office, but we know the director has ambitious plans for the series. He’s already said that he hopes to connect “Argylle” to the world of his other spy series, “Kingsman.” Late last year, he revealed that he has one more spy franchise in the works that could connect all three into one inter-connected spy universe.
“BS!” exclaims Bryce Dallas Howard’s spy novelist Elly Conway when she learns the real identity of the titular secret agent in “Argylle.” For once in the film, her character’s savant-like gift for understanding exactly what the audience should feel tracks. Here, that’s disbelief tinged with disappointment.

What a freak accident!
Jamie Dornan, the star of The Tourist, has revealed that he's "lucky to be alive" after a scary encounter with toxic caterpillars during a holiday in Portugal. The actor, 41, was enjoying a lads' trip with friends last year, including Good Morning Britain presenter Gordon Smart, when he began experiencing symptoms similar to those of a heart attack, likely caused by the "toxic" insects.

I’m the son of a GP and thought, ‘This is normally the sign of the start of a heart attack.

Guy Lodge Film Critic If zombies weren’t so fixated on eating our brains, perhaps they’d be poignant to have around: semi-living, semi-breathing semblances of people we’ve loved, there to be seen and held and talked to, not truly present but not absent either. Whether that’s preferable to the void of death is the question underpinning “Handling the Undead” for much of its running time, even as the threat of the undead reverting to their usual habits gives this soft, sorrowful bereavement drama a core of cold-blooded horror.
In the realm of zombie-themed films, a genre often filled with clichés and predictable plot lines, Handling the Undead aims to stand out as something different.
