Jamie Dornan referenced the famous “Fifty Shades of Grey” franchise when he appeared at the U.S.-Ireland Alliance Oscar Wilde Awards on March 24. At this year’s festivities, which were being held in The Ebell Club, the star was honored for his role in “Belfast.” While accepting his award, Dornan made a joke involving a naughty bedroom accessory, according to a report from People. “In the absence of a reel, I’m just going to act out my entire career. Only the things you know best,” he said, and proceeded to take out a pair of handcuffs, teasing, “I’m going to need a participant from the audience.”
Dornan’s handcuff joke isn’t the first time he poked fun at the Fifty Shades Of Grey films. In 2017, Dornan hilariously recounted how he and Johnson would film the series’ love scenes. “My temptation is always just to try to make Dakota laugh,” the actor said during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show. “So sometimes I’ll do things like, when there’s a moment where I’m meant to, you know, orgasm, I’ll be like,” Dornan then imitated the “Charge” bugle tune, before erupting in laughter.
The star also got cheeky about filming his steamy scenes in a 2018 interview with Jimmy Kimmel. “I wear a wee bag,” he explained of protecting his modesty. “… It doesn’t mean it’s actually wee inside,” he clarified. “I wear like quite a big bag.”
