Elle feature
Dornan is featured in Elle magazine. He talks about Fifty Shades of Grey and his character Christian Grey.

I think a lot of people try to undermine the whole thing. But it’s hard to undermine something that’s so successful. Mass appreciation doesn’t always equate to something good. Think of Hitler! But I think, in this case, it must. It simply must. There’s got to be merit in it if so many people agree.
