"Fifty Shades Darker" star Jamie Dornan recently talked about his fears for having to play the role of Christian Grey.
In an interview with The Guardian, the Irish actor said that he's a bit worried that he will always be typecast as a psychopath.
Dornan added that in real life, he's the exact opposite of his character so this makes things even more difficult for him.
There have been instances wherein fans would think that he's exactly like the Christian they saw on "Fifty Shades of Grey."
"I consider myself quite light-hearted, pretty easy-going, and I keep playing sick psychopath bastards! It kinda worries me sometimes how comfortable I am in that zone," he said.
Meanwhile, Dornan also revealed that there are instances wherein he feels that things haven't sunk in quite yet.
"And I still feel that way myself. There are times when I'll be like: 'Huh, someone made a 'Fifty Shades' movie, that's funny.' And then I'll be like: 'Wait, I'm the guy?!'" he said.
When asked why exactly he accepted the controversial role in the first place, Dornan said the he felt it was the right thing to do.
"You know, I'm not naïve as to why people would think it was a bad career choice, or why there is a snobbery about it. But I'm also not stupid, and I knew with director Sam Taylor-Johnson, and cinematographer Seamus McGarvey, the film would be in safe hands. And, you know, it does no harm to be in a film that makes half a billion dollars," he said.
"Fifty Shades Darker" is slated to hit theaters in the United States on Feb. 10, 2017.
