to not fancy Jamie Dornan?

He's a bit too clean cut while also being slightly seedy? Haven't read 50 Shades and don't intend to see the film. Maybe it's just a hangover from watching him in The Fall and hating the character (obviously) and also the whole show really - couldn't understand Gillian Anderson's character's obsession with him. Do people really fancy him?

He has Betty Davis creepy eyes.

LaurieFairyCake · 12/02/2015 23:03

He's too young for me but he's a great actor in The Fall

It's really weird getting older, I just don't fancy blokes under 30 any more

Fairylea · 12/02/2015 23:07

He's just boring I think. And with his beard he looks like a complete scruff.

NollaigShona · 12/02/2015 23:12

I would.

Mousefinkle · 12/02/2015 23:16

Had to google. I know he's in 50 shades but prior to that had no idea who he was, still don't really hence the trip to google.

Some pictures he looks hot (the ones with the beard and brushed back wavy hair) but older pictures look terrible. He has weird wonky eyes.

MissDuke · 12/02/2015 23:17

Nope. His dad was my obstetrician, which for some reason puts me off fancying him.

SwedishEdith · 12/02/2015 23:20

He was very funny when on Graham Norton about a year ago. I wish he wasn't in this film.

TheCatsFlaps · 13/02/2015 00:23

YABVU. I'll have him if you won't.

girlgamergoesbad · 13/02/2015 00:40

I don't think he's overly attractive but I enjoy seeing him in interviews, and I really think he's a talented actor. Looks dreadful without his beard in 50 shades though Confused

YANBU. I never understand it when people "fancy" famous people they don't know. Last time I did was when I was about 16!

AlleyCat11 · 13/02/2015 00:44

Haven't read 50 Shades & won't watch film, but I imagine Christian is supposed to be quite saucy? Jamie Dornan doesn't seem edgy enough for me. He's more cute than sexy. No glint in his eye.

SallySolomon · 13/02/2015 00:46

Who?! Confused If it's the 50 shades guy, then meh. Never heard of him before and certainly nowt to get worked up about.

steff13 · 13/02/2015 03:56

When I was reading 50 Shades, I imagined Benedict Cumberbatch as Christian Gray (Grey?). I liked Jamie Dornan as the Sheriff/Huntman in Once Upon a Time.

ithoughtofitfirst · 13/02/2015 05:04

Who?

ithoughtofitfirst · 13/02/2015 05:05

Googled.

Yabu. He's lush.

Charley50 · 13/02/2015 05:18

Doesn't do it for me.

Alisvolatpropiis · 13/02/2015 07:15

He's a nice looking man but not my type.

I'm sure with time he will come to terms with it though Grin

StoorieHoose · 13/02/2015 07:19

Much hotter with a beard and his Irish accent

ithoughtofitfirst · 13/02/2015 07:20

Grin alis

monkeysox · 13/02/2015 07:22

I did read the books (but then gave them away).
Wasn't grey a red head? I'm sure it said something about copper hair.

LumpySpacedPrincess · 13/02/2015 07:32

This was my Christian, but Jamie will do just fine. Grin

Dreadful books which I read

to not fancy Jamie Dornan?
colleysmill · 13/02/2015 07:41

Horses for courses - we can't all fancy the same people or it would be a massive bun fight

Mind you I'm so sleep deprived with ds2 the only thing I fancy is Wine followed by 12 hours uninterrupted sleep in a big cosy bed.

LumpySpacedPrincess - he's nice. Looks a bit like young Brad Pitt, but better!
