This Will Convince You That Jamie Dornan Is the Perfect Christian Grey

Updated on 7/25/2014 at 1:33 PM

Jamie Dornan was cast as the lead in Fifty Shades of Grey back in October 2013, but some fans are still a little upset that the film version of Christian Grey won't be exactly how they imagined him. The anti-Jamie sentiments popped back up when the official trailer for Fifty Shades of Grey was released, and again when the new trailer came out. Frankly, the backlash completely baffles us, not just because we know Jamie is a good actor, but also because, well, have the critics looked at him? To help sway the haters to our side, we've put together a helpful guide as to why they should be happy that the model will be Mr. Grey on the big screen. (And yes, we've got a few Fifty Shades of Grey GIFs in there, for good measure.) Now, let's count the reasons we love Mr. Dornan.
