Sofa so good as Jamie Dornan gets 50 Shades richer

FIFTY Shades Freed actor Jamie Dornan says his wild reception from screaming fans in Paris last night is a world away from his teen bid for stardom — when he was booted off his friend’s couch and rejected as a model.

The 35-year-old, who stepped out in the French capital with co-star Dakota Johnson for his third and final movie in the bonkbuster series, said fashion bosses decided his walk was ‘too ‘bouncy’.

The Belfast hunk revealed that, aged 19, he worked in a pub full time and didn’t really have any money. ‘I stayed on a friend’s sofa and I presumed it would be two months to give me time to find my feet. He kicked me out after 11 days,’ he said.

‘I ate Domino’s Pizza every night. He made me take the boxes too.’
