"Fifty Shades Darker" star Jamie Dornan recently opened up about the fans and critics of the franchise.
While speaking with GQ Australia (via E! News), the Irish actor did not deny the fact that there are a lot of people hating on "Fifty Shades." However, even though the film has received hurtful comments from some people, Dornan said that he is not one to lose sleep over it.
"As much as it has 100 million fans, there are a lot of people who are not into it and are very much vocal about that. I do not blame people. I have got plenty of opinions about things I do not know a lot about, or that I did not give a chance - it is just the nature of the beast. I am not going to lose any sleep over it," he said.
However, even though Dornan does not agree with the critics of "Fifty Shades," the actor admitted that in real life, his character, Christian, is not someone he would hang out with.
"He is not the sort of bloke I would get along with. All my mates are easy going and quick to laugh - I would not imagine myself sat in a pub with him. I do not think he would be my type, when it comes to choosing mates," he said.
Meanwhile, the actor also opened up about BDSM and said that it is not something that he is interested in trying in real life. But in order to prepare himself for the role of Christian Grey, the actor said that he visited a sex dungeon and was surprised with what he saw.
"It was like nothing I had experienced before. I have never seen any form of S&M before this, I had no interest in that world. It does not float my boat. I have always been open-minded and liberal - I would never judge anyone's sexual preference. Whatever gets people off is entirely up to them and there are a million different ways to please yourself sexually," he said.
"Fifty Shades Darker" is slated to hit theaters in the United States on Feb. 10.
