‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ Star Admits ‘Stalking’

Apr 1, 2015  •  Post A Comment

One of the stars of the movie “Fifty Shades of Grey” admits doing some stalking, but the confession probably isn’t as sinister as it might sound.

Actor Jamie Dornan said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times that one thing he did to prepare for his role as a serial killer in the Netflix drama “The Fall” was what most people would consider stalking.

“The 32-year-old Irish actor … found himself reluctantly revealing a tactic he used to better understand Paul Spector, the husband and father who moonlights as a psychopath serial killer with a fetish for tying up his victims before killing them,” the newspaper reports.

Dornan admitted he followed a woman he saw on the subway. The report quotes the actor saying: “The first series, I did do a couple of things to try to get inside [his mind]. On the tube, which is our underground system.”

He reportedly stopped himself, then continued: “Can we get arrested for this? Hold on … this is a really bad reveal: I, like, followed a woman off the train one day to see what it felt like to pursue someone like that.”

He reportedly lurked behind the woman for a few blocks.

Dornan plays the title character Christian Grey in the 2015 box office smash “Fifty Shades of Grey.” He has said he went to a sex dungeon as part of his preparation for that role.
