Jamie Dornan reportedly out for 'Fifty Shades' sequels

PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 24 (UPI) -- Jamie Dornan may not return for future Fifty Shades of Grey films.

The 32-year-old actor has reportedly dropped out of sequels Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed. Dornan starred as Christian Grey in the first of three movies, but Australian magazine NW reports he will not reprise the character out of consideration for wife Amelia Warner.

"Jamie said the movie would skyrocket his career," an insider told the publication. "He tried to assure Amelia nothing would change but women all over the world now lust after Jamie. She hasn't seen the film and I don't think she will, to be honest."

Warner is said to be unhappy with Dornan filming the erotic trilogy's many explicit sex scenes. The actor previously told USA Today his wife won't see the first film because his sex scenes with co-star Dakota Johnson are "probably not that comfortable to watch."

Fifty Shades of Grey is based on the E.L. James novel of the same name, and follows the relationship between college student Anastasia (Johnson) and BDSM-loving businessman Christian. The film opened to mixed reviews, but topped the box office for a second time over the weekend.

Dornan and Warner married in April 2013, and welcomed their first child, daughter Dulcie, in November 2013. The actor and director Sam Taylor-Johnson confirmed the Fifty Shades sequels would be adapted at an advance screening earlier this month.
