Though he might play S&M loving sex-enthusiast Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades franchise, Jamie Dornan would like the world to know that his IRL taste tends to be a bit milder. In fact, before starring in Fifty Shades, he was an innocent lamb when it came to the kinkier side of sex.

"It was like nothing I'd experienced before," he recently told GQ when asked about the infamous Fifty Shades dungeon. "I'd never seen any form of S&M before this, I had no interest in that world."

Tell us more, Jamie Dornan.

"It doesn't float my boat," the actor continued. "I've always been open-minded and liberal—I'd never judge anyone's sexual preference. Whatever gets people off is entirely up to them and there's a million different ways to please yourself, sexually."

Speaking of, here, enjoy the trailer for Fifty Shades Darker.
