Jamie Dornan Hid After 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Backlash

Despite Negative Reviews, Film's Success Led to Contractually Obligated Sequels

Jamie Dornan, the actor who played Christian Grey in the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' film series, has revealed that he went into hiding after the first film received poor reviews.
Dornan and his family stayed at the home of the film's director, Sam Taylor-Johnson, to escape the backlash.
Despite the negative reviews, the first film was a box office success, grossing over $500 million worldwide and leading to two sequels.
Dornan was contractually obligated to return for the sequels, despite knowing that they would likely receive similar criticism.
Dornan has since received positive reviews for his work in other projects, but says that his role in 'Fifty Shades of Grey' is still often mentioned.
