12 Worst Movie Performances Of 2018 (So Far)

By Jack Pooley / June 26, 2018

10. Jamie Dornan (Fifty Shades Freed)

It's been a consistent thread through the Fifty Shades trilogy that Dakota Johnson gives a charmingly awkward performance that seems to hint at her own awareness that these movies are awful, while her screen partner Jamie Dornan instead approximates a sentient block of wood.

Fifty Shades Freed, by far the silliest of the three movies, once again forces Dornan to make Christian Grey a self-serious, moping bore, and once again, he lives down to expectations by mining not the least scrap of humour from the daft role.

Whether he's creepily telling Ana (Johnson) what to do, licking ice cream from her thigh or crying for the first time in years, Dornan never makes Christian more than a hollow, dull husk of a character.
