Fifty Shades Freed: Jamie Dornan reveals sex scene horror – ‘I couldn’t bear it!’

Speaking last week on Jimmy Kimmel’s US chatshow, the Irish actor – who plays Christian Grey in the film – was asked if he’s seen the movie, two years after filming it back-to-back with Fifty Shades Freed.

“Uniquely for this situation, we shot it so long ago,” he said. “You do need a refresher.

“So I went to see it at Universal’s offices in London. You go into a theatre, like a cinema, but they won’t let you watch it alone in case you film it.

“As if I’m going to film it! I don’t know what I’m going to do with that footage. So I watched it with a security guard… just the two of us.”

Given the erotic nature of the movies, it seems it was as awkward an experience as you’d expect.

“I had been for a few pints before, but I drank quite a lot of beer so I missed half the movie just peeing,” he went on.

“And he needed to pee… and all the sex stuff… I was literally watching it like this [recoiling].

“I couldn’t bear it!”

But if Dornan felt awkward, it seems the security guard did not.

“He was like, ‘that was great, man!’ Like, ‘high five!’ He’d just watched me simulate sex for two hours.”

Fifty Shades Freed is out on Friday.
