Fans of EL James’ Fifty Shades of Grey have been teased with a sexy new photo ahead of forthcoming film adaptation, starring Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson .
Former underwear model Dornan plays S&M-obsessed billionaire Christian Grey, while Johnson stars as Anastacia Steele, the college girl infatuated by his charisma.
The picture, shared by Dornan on his Instagram feed with a caption reading “You like?”, shows the 32-year-old wearing nothing but white Diesel boxers, an unbuttoned grey shirt and a loosened tie, standing above a blindfolded girl as he touches her hair.
It has not yet been confirmed whether the photo is a movie still, with some reports claiming it is a teaser from his modelling days.

But journalists were left feeling disappointingly cool under the collar when they were shown “surprisingly tame” preview clips earlier this year.
