Jamie Dornan gave quite a tease of what fans can expect in "Fifty Shades Darker" as he walked around topless during a recent getaway in Ibiza.
"Though he wasn't on set," E! News reported. "The Irish actor looked every bit as sexy as his famous character Christian Grey when he stepped out in a pair of striped trunks, a pair of sunglasses and-thankfully-nothing else."
The online news site commented that Jamie Dornan seems to be keeping himself in shape in preparation for the filming of "Fifty Shades Darker," which is expected to be steamier than the "Fifty Shades of Grey."
It's been reported that James Foley will help the sequel to the hugely successful film to replace Aaron Taylor-Johnson who just couldn't see eye-to-eye with novelist E.L. James on the movie adaptation of the erotic series.
Dakota Johnson earlier told Empire that she had a moment of apprehension after knowing that there's going to be a new director having developed trust with Taylor-Johnson.
"It's quite exciting," she said. "There was a moment of being afraid, because I didn't know what it was going to be like. I had an experience with Sam [Taylor-Johnson] and then that all went away."
"Now I'm excited. I think James is a talented filmmaker. How often do you get to reconvene with the same people and have a different spin?"
Dakota Johnson also said that she already met with James Foley, but as to the director's vision for "Fifty Shades Darker," the actress demurred, "You'll just have to see when the movie comes out..."
While Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson have confirmed that they are returning for "Fifty Shades Darker," producer Dana Brunetti said tha they still have to cast the rest of the character for the sequel.
"We're nowhere near casting. We haven't gotten into anything like that. We don't even have a casting director on it yet," he said.
Reportedly, Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson are asking for a hefty pay raise for "Fifty Shades Darker" compared to the $250,000 each that they were paid during the first film.
