Don’t look for Jamie Dornan on social media – he says he has had enough of hate-mongering trolls, despite a hyper fan base for Fifty Shades Of Grey and The Fall.
“To be honest, I was very inactive on it in the last year,” the 34-year-old Northern Ireland-born actor said during a round of interviews for two upcoming films, Anthropoid and The 9th Life Of Louis Drax.
“To delete my Instagram … I had to email my publicist to get the password. Twitter I used to have a bit of fun with back in the day but I think I’ve tweeted twice in the last year.”
On the reality of living life out loud on social media, he said: “The more public interest in you, the more horrible people become. People start to say disgusting things about your family, about your children. What’s the point?”
On the Fifty Shades front, which includes back-to-back filming of the steamy trilogy’s last two instalments, Dornan is enjoying the prospect of life post-Christian Grey.
“It’s satisfying to put an end to any job I think, and to do two back to back, I think there’s an element of relief that the work is done and you’re happy with it,” he said.
“Yeah, a couple of times on choice days,” he said. “There were some days where it probably doesn’t make a lot of sense for her to be hanging around.”
Dornan was tight-lipped about season three of popular BBC series The Fall, which is set in Belfast and has him playing Paul Spector, a bereavement counsellor, married man and unassuming father of two by day and stalker and killer of women by night.
The series co-stars Gillian Anderson as Stella Gibson, the London detective sent to crack the case.
Does that include a fourth season?
