Jamie Dornan thinks that fan backlash to recasting popular characters like Batman and JamesBond is a 'f*cking disease.' 'People prejudge people based on f*cking anything really, and it's very sad.'
50 Shades of Grey star Jamie Dornan has taken a stance against prejudgment of casting decisions in Hollywood, referring to it as a disease because of the vitriol it creates. Most recently, Dornan could be seen in highly praised turns in both Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar as well as Belfast. His most recent project is The Tourist, which debuted earlier this year on HBO Max.
Dornan has been acting in Hollywood since the mid-2000s. His first role was in 2006’s Marie Antoinette, after which he went on to appear in nine episodes of Once Upon a Time. From there, he entered full-blown franchise territory by taking on the highly coveted role of Christian Grey in the 50 Shades of Grey series.
Prejudgment is such a f*cking disease. It's a disease in all our culture. In my line of work, sure. But in general, people prejudge people based on f*cking anything really, and it's very sad. Look at the reaction when Rob got cast as Batman. It was like 90 percent negative. Daniel Craig got cast as James Bond—I mean that was 100 percent negative. It was vile what was written. It was actually disturbing when you see the f*cking venomous anger that people have over casting decisions.
Both Daniel Craig and Robert Pattinson faced uphill battles with audiences when they were cast in their respective roles. Before the debut of Casino Royale, Craig took flak for his blonde hair and his considerably gruffer demeanor than previous Bond actors before him. Meanwhile, Pattinson similarly had to contend with online vitriol and Twilight jokes before he was revealed in The Batman.
Of course, regarding the issue of prejudgment, Dornan arguably makes a very good point. Casting backlash existed as far back as the casting of Michael Keaton as Batman, and it has often been proven wrong when the actor finally debuts in their respective IP role. Perhaps the best example of this is Heath Ledger and his role as The Joker in The Dark Knight, which ultimately won him a posthumous Oscar.
