Jamie Dornan has said he moved to Hollywood intending to pursue a career in comedy but ended up going down a “very different path” and playing a “psychopath” instead.

The Northern Irish actor, 39, launched his acting career in 2006 and won widespread acclaim playing serial killer Paul Spector in BBC drama The Fall between 2013 and 2016, before finding international fame as billionaire Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades franchise.
