Jamie Dornan weighs who’d make a better book club partner: Dakota Johnson or Anastasia Steele

He starred in what is perhaps the most famous erotic book of all time. 

And Jamie Dornan was recently forced to speculate on who would make a better erotic book club partner, his Fifty Shades of Grey costar Dakota Johnson, or her character from the film, Anastasia Steele. 

The Northern Irish actor, 28, participated in a round of ‘would you rather’ questioning from video host Josh Horowitz, for his Comedy Central series Stir Crazy.

During the chat, Horowitz asked Jamie about his ideal erotic book club roster, explaining that he had asked Dakota the same question when she visited him on the show. 

For Dakota, the choice was between Dornan and his 50 Shades alter-ego, Christian Grey. 

‘If she didn’t say me, I’m calling her immediately,’ Jamie joked, before Josh revealed Dakota picked Jamie the actor, and not the character he played.

Josh also said Dakota picked him because he’s a little funnier than his fictional cinematic counterpart.

Then it was his turn to answer the question in earnest.

‘Anastasia Steele!’ he said, before collapsing into laughter.

‘No, I’m joking, c’mon, I’m joking’ he continued.

But then he picked Johnson, of course, ‘for the same reason. 

‘She’s a legitimately funny person,’ the Fall star specified.

Horowitz then mentioned that Dakota was incredible at playing Would You Rather, which didn’t shock Jamie at all.   

‘She’s a big Would You Rather [person],’ he revealed, describing how she’d launch into WYR questions during a lull on set.

As for Dornan, his next ‘sexy’ role is in Barb & Star Go To Vista Del Mar with Kristen Wiig, out this weekend on demand.
