“@JennyJohnsonHi5 Bigger than you know how to handle #AskJamieDornan,” Dornan replied.

On what fans can expect of his steamy on-screen trysts with co-star Dakota Johnson (who plays Anastasia Steele), he told E! News last week: “I think it's sexy. I think it's erotic, but we stayed true to the love story above all, which is so important.
“Of course it's erotic, but you don't get a series of three books like that – a story that's spanned over three books—purely out of erotica.”
Fifty Shades of Grey will be released next weekend.
