'50 Shades of Grey' Movie News: 'Fifty Shades' Star Jamie Dornan Poses in Sexy Photoshoot

Jamie Dornan may not have been the original pick to star in the upcoming film adaptation of "Fifty Shades of Grey," but a newly release batch of sexy photos proves that the Irish actor should be more than apt to play the role of kinky billionaire Christain Grey.

The "Fifty Shades of Grey" star looked polished and suave in the Spring/Summer 2014 campaign for the Italian fashion brand Hogan, reports E! News. According to Cosmopolitan, the high fashion photoshoot was shot in Venice last October right before the former model began filming the highly anticipated movie in Vancouver.

In one photograph Dornan is seen posing in a dark dapper suit, as he intensely stares off to the side while standing on a dock in the "City of Canals." In another photo, the 31-year-old new father looks casual chic inside a luxurious boat sporting a navy blazer, white rolled-up slacks and gray dress shoes.

While many people initially seemed to be skeptical about Dornan stepping into role of Christian Grey after "Sons of Anarchy" star Charlie Hunnam abruptly left the film, it appears that fans are finally comfortable with this Irish actor. This was evident by a popular meme that has spread on the Internet and has also been shared by "Fifty Shades of Grey" author E.L. James, reports the IB Times.

"@E_L_James @JamieDornan1 No wonder he's the most interesting man in the world!" tweeted a fan along with the meme, which was then retweeted by James.

James also made a recent reference to Dornan while playing Scrabble as she couldn't help imagining her Dornan on her Scrabble board:

"Reminds me of something... Or someone... Who can it be?" James wrote in the photo's caption, which she posted on her Instagram page. Over 6,600 people liked the photo.
