Jamie Dornan and Liam Neeson have both swung Dakota Johnson around – but very differently!

Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson starrer Fifty Shades trilogy brought to screen a sizzling chemistry between the two leads of the movie. Based on the novel series by English author E. L. James of the same name, the movies amassed $1.325 billion in total, on a budget of $150 million.

Dornan played the character of Christian Grey, a ruthless businessman who falls in love with the meek literature student, Anastasia “Ana” Steel, played by Dakota Johnson.

Their chemistry and the sadomasochist relationship shown in the films were the basis of the novel as well as the trilogy. Given the s*xual nature of the films, there were a lot of headlines about the movie as well as the cast members. But the lead cast – especially Dornan and Johnson, were always quick to make fun of the situation as well as themselves to keep things easy and fun, especially on press runs.

Liam Neeson Cannot Watch “Those” Films

While sitting for an episode of The Graham Norton Show, actors Liam Neeson and Jamie Dornan got to talking about Dornan’s projects, and Neeson mentioned how he loved the other actor on the series The Fall.

But then he went on to say how he cannot watch “those” movies of his, without mentioning Fifty Shades, as he had known Dakota Johnson since she was a little kid. He said,

“You know I have to say, I love this guy from The Fall, which is fantastic series. I can’t watch those films (Fifty Shades of Grey) because I made a movie with Dakota’s mom many years ago and I used to swing Dakota around at the age of two. So I can’t, I just can’t (watch the movie).”

Responding to Neeson’s heartwarming revelation, Jamie Dornan made light of the situation with a quip, saying, “I think… I think I’ve swung her around a wee bit,” making everyone on set laugh.
