The first look of much-awaited Fifty Shades of Grey movie is out and we take a peek at the man playing Christian Grey. Before Jamie Dornan was hand-picked to play Christian Grey for the movie version of the novel Fifty Shades of Grey he was a Calvin Klein model who was labelled the 'male Kate Moss'. Like the character he is going to portray in the movie, Jamie Dornan has always had a very desirable body, so much so that he was dubbed The Man with the Golden Torso'.
In an interview with Men's Health, the actor once claimed that he was not obsessed about how he maintains his physique. However, that the body which was once called 'The Golden Torso' by The New York Times needs a lot of work some of which includes bodyweight drills between shoots.
'There's a lot of hanging around so I use any downtime to work on my arms and core with variations on press-ups and crunches,' he says. He also claims, quite unfairly that he has a thing for Guinness so his sculpted body is down to to his amazing genes.
It's not surprising that he is so fit considering that he was rugby player in his youth which involved eating a lot and then getting rid of the fat. He revealed that until his modelling days took off he would ram Big Macs down his throat and then do push-ups whenever he found time. And that push-up habit has stuck as the model-turned-actor does some push-ups whenever he finds time.
Due to a problem in the iliotibial band in his knee he can't put too much pressure on the joint so he does swimming instead of running to burn extra calories.
Jamie Dornan however wants to show the world he's much more than his body as he told The Daily Mail: 'I suppose the bulk of what I'll be put up for is love interest. But there's time to prove myself.'
