Fifty shades of grey and its subsequent sequels belong to Notable sexually explicit films from Netflix right now. I recently watched the third film and was reminded of the internet furor when series lead Jamie Dornan wasn’t completely naked. So I did some snooping to answer the question fans may still be asking: Would the Christian Grey actor really get paid more for flaunting his male roles in the trilogy?
The rumor about the complete nudity and what really happened
Thank God I was not the only one who asked this question. At that time, a rumor was circulating in Fifty shades The actors would be paid more to be completely naked. So, significantly more. I’m supposedly talking Earn $1.5 million more To see Christian Grey in all his glory. That would have meant Jamie Dornan would have left behind the dreaded “Wee Bag” in the dressing room on at least one specific day of shooting, but despite Rumors come out not only Fifty shades of grey but also Fifty Shades Freedit never happened. Here’s why.
When asked about the prospect, the actor (who is funny in real life and not only in Barb and Star go to Vista Del Mar) joked that the $1.5 million that was mentioned was actually quite low. But then he revealed the real truth about the rumors and said Elle:
There is a reason why Fifty shades Movies have never taken this extra step Scenes cut out and less drastic depiction than the novels of EL JamesThey “wanted to appeal to as broad an audience as possible.”
Why Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson were only half naked for Fifty Shades
Continuing to discuss the subject, the actor opened up about his memories of filming as Christian Grey, talking about how he showed off his butt while doing it and why he thinks it makes sense that the films never went any further.
It is also worth noting that at the time the first film was put together, Fifty shades of grey was largely Filming to avoid an NC-17 rating. Ultimately, that first film and its subsequent sequels were rated R by the MPAA. At the time, Jamie Dornan also confirmed that there were procedures in place to avoid a full frontal shot, noting in the same interview years ago that his contract prevented it, although that doesn’t necessarily mean he was against the idea. Contractually, it just wasn’t going to happen.
So if you assume that Jamie Dornan would pay money for a completely naked appearance in Fifty shades With films, it’s a little more complicated. But who knows if they would have made different decisions about nudity if all these considerations hadn’t been taken into account?
