I Like Playing Characters Who Are Passionate About Something’: Jamie Dornan Talks Romance And Murder

Jamie Dornan has got a crazy busy 2014. Fresh from wrapping his lead role in Fifty Shades of Grey, the Northern Irish actor is back home in Belfast to shoot the second series of The Fall, while his new Channel 4 drama New Worlds hits screens soon.

Playing Abe Goffe in New Worlds, Jamie is taking on a very different role, as “a young, idealistic renegade who is very determined in his fight to make England a true republic”. Talking to Channel 4 about his new project, Jamie manages to find some correlation between Abe and serial killer Paul Spector, who he portrays in The Fall.

“Of course there are no comparisons between the two of them but I like playing characters who are passionate about something”, he admits. “It is appealing as an actor to play characters who take care, precision and put commitment into something they are passionate about. In the case of Paul Spector that is the act of hunting and killing and covering up his crime and obviously it is a very different motivation with Abe but he is equally a focused man with what he sees as a very clear objective. It is exciting to play such strong characters”.

It sounds like Jamie had a ball on set last summer, where he got to indulge his love of the great outdoors: “Being an outlaw was great fun, I am probably stuck in some transition period from boy to man, but I loved all that running through woods with guns, arrows, unwashed hair and your band of mates indulging your inner Robin Hood”, he admits. “Everyone got on really well on set so we had a good laugh”.

So what about any comparisions between Abe and the elusive Christian Grey? Well it turns out the New Worlds lead is more into romance than S&M, with Jamie saying of Abe’s romance with Beth in the drama:“They are classic star crossed lovers to start with but ultimately they can’t help themselves – as we all know love is a very powerful thing! I have to say it was nice to play a romantic hero especially after The Fall where I had to apologise to pretty much every actress after each shot was filmed”.

Fifty Shades Darker

Daunted by the singular tastes and dark secrets of the beautiful, tormented young entrepreneur Christian Grey, Anastasia Steele has broken off their relationship to start a new career with a Seattle publishing house. But desire for Christian still dominates her every waking thought, and when he proposes a new arrangement, Anastasia cannot resist. They rekindle their searing sensual affair, and Anastasia learns more about the harrowing past of her damaged, driven and demanding Fifty Shades. While Christian wrestles with his inner demons, Anastasia must confront the anger and envy of the women who came before her, and make the most important decision of her life.

Fifty Shades Freed

When unworldly student Anastasia Steele first encountered the driven and dazzling young entrepreneur Christian Grey it sparked a sensual affair that changed both of their lives irrevocably.

Now, Ana and Christian have it all—love, passion, intimacy, wealth, and a world of possibilities for their future. But Ana knows that loving her Fifty Shades will not be easy, and that being together will pose challenges that neither of them would anticipate. Ana must somehow learn to share Christian’s opulent lifestyle without sacrificing her own identity. And Christian must overcome his compulsion to control as he wrestles with the demons of a tormented past. Just when it seems that their strength together will eclipse any obstacle, misfortune, malice, and fate conspire to make Ana’s deepest fears turn to reality.
