Actor Jamie Dornan says working on Fifty Shades of Grey was paralyzing because of the constant public attention it attracts. The 34-year-old Irish actor, who plays the lead role of Christian Grey in movie, said adapting a popular novel makes things tough. “Essentially I feel like all of that pressure when you’re making the first of a franchise of (movies based on) books that mean so much to people that has so much attention on it can be quite paralyzing I think,” Dornan said.
