Dornan has just returned to the UK from shooting these last two instalments back-to-back. ‘I’d say it was a less pressurised environment,’ he says carefully about the filming this time around. Knowing co-star Dakota Johnson better also made it slightly easier to slip back into things, so to speak: ‘We’ve gone through this mad journey together. Dakota knows what I’m going through and only I know what she’s going through. We get on very well, we make each other laugh and we’re comfortable with each other, which is very important because Jesus, if I didn’t get on with her… I’ve heard horror stories of that happening. Actors who have to do intimate things with another actor and they just don’t get on… It’s not good.’
