The Fifty Shades Of Grey franchise has been dealt a major blow following claims that leading man Jamie Dornan will not be reprising his role as Christian Grey.
The Irish actor was expected to return as the enigmatic corporate executive in Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed, parts two and three in the hugely successful trilogy by British novelist E.L James.
But according to Australian magazine NW Jamie, 32, has reportedly walked away from the plum role because wife of two-years Amelia Warner is uncomfortable with the raunchy sex scenes he shares with co-star Dakota Johnson.
He told the publication: ‘(Amelia) hasn’t seen the film and I don’t think she will, to be honest, I’d understand if she didn’t want to.’
Fans have since taken to Twitter in their droves to express their dismay at his reported decision - which comes just two weeks after the film opened to mixed reviews.
One wrote: ‘Was going to go see Fifty again today, but I think I'll hold off now until I know if @JamieDornan will continue.’
Another added: ‘Jamie Dornan won't appear in the next films of 50 Shades because his wife don't like it ... #whipped divorce her man.’
Jamie's reported departure follows claims that director Sam Taylor-Johnson has quit the franchise following a series of furious bust-ups with author James.
The Sun claim that the British director is keen to leave the franchise due to her constant on-set feuds with the author, despite previously claiming that she had 'signed on' to work on the sequels.
