Dornan made a huge success of his early career as a model - as this article has already specified - but it was never his priority to do modelling and he actually saw it as a nothing more than a means to an end. He has said "It's never given me a thrill, but it would take a very foolish man to turn down the stuff that was offered to me. You're in your twenties and people are going to give you a silly amount of money to lean against a wall with your head down. F*** me, you've got to do it". That being said, he must surely appreciate the fact that he did it now, as it must have made his more exposed scenes in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie a lot easier for him to handle.
