When asked about it, he replied, "I don't recall specifically refusing such scenes," while pointing out that viewers had already witnessed numerous intimate scenes, featuring Dakota Johnson's breasts and even his own bare bottom. He emphasized that the story didn't necessitate displaying more than what was essential. The intent was never to delve into the territory of explicit content, contrary to what some people may have believed.
Throughout the Fifty Shades of Gray film trilogy, Dornan carried a seemingly modest bag, and his statement suggested he might have preferred to be unclothed instead.
The options and sizes presented to him were all skin-colored, albeit resembling a sickly hue, like someone with jaundice, as Ella described. Despite the choices, he settled on one, only to discover a small tag sewn inside bearing the words "Inmate No. 3."
Disturbed by this revelation, he recalled, "I nearly felt nauseated. When I noticed my genitals resting against the bottom, I realized someone had already used it." He promptly contacted the locker room attendant, expressing his dismay and questioning the item's origins, only to be reassured that it wasn't a second-hand piece. However, the incident severely undermined his trust.
Interestingly, Fifty Shades Freed director James Foley disclosed that Dornan did indeed shoot some full frontal n*dity scenes. However, they were eventually omitted from the final cut as they failed to serve a purpose within the narrative.
Foley candidly admitted, "[Dornan and I] never discussed the use of full frontal n*dity, but ultimately, it just didn't fit well... The decision to exclude it was deliberate; there was no reason to include it without proper justification." Despite existing footage, it didn't make it into the final version for dramatic reasons.
Jamie Dornan concurred with Foley's viewpoint during his conversation with Entertainment Tonight. He explained, "If displaying more of the story is warranted, I'm all for it. Yet, if it doesn't contribute anything or fails to progress the narrative, there's no need to reveal that aspect of myself or Dakota. The essence of the story remains unaltered even without it."
In conclusion, the absence of love scenes involving Jamie Dornan in the Fifty Shades of Grey series can be attributed to artistic considerations, focusing on storytelling rather than gratuitous displays of n*dity. The decision was grounded in purpose and creative direction, aiming to deliver a captivating and coherent cinematic experience.
