Jamie Dornan: 'I don't want to be typecast as Christian Grey'
Jamie Dornan picks roles that challenge him as an actor because he doesn't want to be typecast as Christian Grey forever.
The actor is best know for his role as a smooth businessman in Fifty Shades of Grey, but in his new film, Anthropoid, he stars as a top-ranking Nazi official.
The part is a huge departure from Grey, and Jamie admits he wants
to continue to explore different characters.
"I think as an actor, you do just want to mix it up...," he told
Good Morning America on Friday (05Aug16). "You don't want to be
typecast."
Despite his reluctance to be seen as Grey for the rest of his
career, Jamie, who just finished filming the second and third
instalments in the Fifty Shades franchise, enjoyed working on the
movies.
"We (filmed instalments) two and three back to back," he continued.
"It was the right way to do it. It was good for everyone, in terms
of keeping up with the energy."
"It's a slog, making movies," he added. "There's way harder ways to
make a living, don't get me wrong, but a lot of energy goes into
them, and if you can do two at once, I think it makes sense for
everyone. It's hard in a way for people to re-motivate themselves
and get back into character."
