Jamie Dornan is such a plain joe


Why did they cast such an average looking dude for this role?

reply

probably because no one else wanted the part

An average-to-good looking celebrity, most times, will have a larger fan base than one who looks like he was created by Michelangelo himself. Average looking dudes, as you call them, are more fan accessible. Fans feel like they could have a real shot with this average looking guy (not saying Dornan, just an example) rather than one who is so good looking, it feels too unattainable.

Kind of like the 'girl next door' theory. You have an average, to above average, looking guy/girl with a good personality that can make someone laugh--yeah, he/she could clean up. Jennifer Anniston made a career out of this.

Average looking? He was a model before becoming an actor. Hardly average.

with abs lol he is no Mr Grey, they messed up this.

I think this is a role that is defined by the description of him in the book...who looks like that?..when you read the books, you have your own idea of what he looks like...I always felt like it had to be someone not famous. I really liked Jamie, as I didn't know much about him..

reply

This role doesnt suit him, but he is not average looking.

reply

Probably to go along with that average looking chick that they cast...

reply

Ana is supposed to be average, while Christian has to be this amazingly beautiful man, which he fails to be in this movie. Even Eric Johnson is hotter than Jamie Dornan. And Eric has more chemistry with Dakota.

reply

Bella and Jamie have more chemistry too. Eric is funny but Jamie and him both are average.

reply

but Jamie and him both are average.


I think you meant to say "Jamie and he are both average."

If that is what you meant to say, then I'm sure you are correct. Dior and Calvin Klein always go for the "average" guy in their ad campaigns.

Don't tell me you love animals if that's cow muscle on your plate.

Dakota / Ana looks like a young skinny E.L. James. I think thats the only reason she got the part. Imagine Dakota 100lbs heavier.

reply

The villains always have the juicer roles..

..jamie was great in Anthropoid, under rated movie. He looked like he some put muscle on for that movie too, his face was bulkier and tight and he looked bigger. i didn't reconize him until after the hour mark in that.
