Search is over for Christian Grey’s ex
Jaime Dornan is back as Mr. Grey for “Fifty Shades Darker” but his wife Amelia Warner isn’t keen on him getting back under the covers with Dakota Johnson.
Having been the subject of much speculation for some time, Deadline Hollywood can confirm the role of Christian Grey’s jilted ex-lover will be played by the 28-year-old Melbourne-born star. Last week, Oscar victor Kim Basinger will star as the woman who introduced Christian to BDSM when he was 15.
Bella Heathcote has landed a role in Fifty Shades Darker, the second instalment of E.L. James trilogy. Apparently, Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) will come into contact with Leila and learn of what another ex of Christian is like after going through an alliterate year of suffering in the Red Room of Pain, both “emotionally and physically”.
Fifty Shades Darker cast members were said to be the same as the first installment.
