13 Worst Movie Performances Of 2018

11. Jamie Dornan (Fifty Shades Freed)

You're finally free, Jamie! This year saw the "epic" conclusion of the Fifty Shades franchise with the outrageously overwrought and decidedly un-sexy Fifty Shades Freed.

While Jamie Dornan's co-star Dakota Johnson has basically managed to escape these movies with her dignity fairly in-tact, Dornan's wooden, charmless trio of performances hasn't allowed him quite the same fortune.

It doesn't help at all that Dornan's kinky billionaire is a miserable creep, and this is dialled up even higher this time around, as he admonishes Ana (Johnson) for sunbathing topless and yet again behaves like a controlling a**hole.

Even the sexy stuff doesn't get the blood flowing, and when Christian finally breaks down weeping at the end of the movie, it's more unintentionally laughable than genuinely poignant.

Dornan at least has a number of tasty art-house projects lined up with name directors next year, so fingers crossed this can all become a distant memory for him soon enough.
