It's still unofficial but sources have told Variety and several other media outlets that Irish actor Jamie Dornan will replace Charlie Hunnam as Christian Grey in the movie "Fifty Shades of Grey." This will be a major role for the 31-year-old hottie.
After Hunnam's abrupt departure from the movie Universal Pictures and Focus Features were left scrambling to find a new actor to play the kinky billionaire. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Dornan is negotiating with produces about the role but from the looks of it, he will be singing on.
With filming scheduled to begin in three weeks here is everything you need to know about the man who will be strapping up for the role.
He's comfortable stripping for the camera. Dornan got his start as a model for Calvin Klein and Armani sexily posing in underwear.
He's mostly known for small roles. The Irish actor is best known for playing Sheriff Graham on ABC's "Once Upon a Time." His character was killed off in season one in 2011, the show's first major death. He went on to play a serial killer in the U.K. TV series "The Fall." Dornan also starred as Count Axel Fersen in Sofia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette."
He's dated several Hollywood beauties. Dornan was in a relationship with actress Keira Knightly for two years. He has also been linked to Lindsay Lohan, Kate Moss and Sienna Miller.
But he's married. The actor tied-the-knight in April 2013 to English actress and singer-songwriter Amelia Warner. The couple announced in June that they are expecting their first child, US Magazine reports.
He has a musical side. Dornan reportedly played with a band called Sons of Jim, which disbanded in 2008, People magazine reports.
What do you think? Is Jamie Dornan a good replacement for Charlie Hunnam?
