The 41-year-old actor candidly shared that he briefly shadowed a woman on the London Underground to delve into the mindset of his character.

Reflecting on the experience, he told the LA Times, "I’m sort of not proud of myself. But I do honestly think I learned something from it because I’ve obviously never done any of that.

Beyond his unique preparation methods, Dornan discussed encounters with fervent fans, detailing instances of being stalked after his residence was exposed by a tabloid. Despite his content marital status, speculative messages from fans persist, with theories circulating about a supposed real-life romance with his Fifty Shades co-star, Dakota Johnson.

Addressing the intense fan speculation, Dornan shared with the Irish Times, "The fandom of that franchise is still feverish. They’ve got all kinds of mad theories." He recounted instances of stalking that prompted him to involve authorities, expressing a level of fear and a deliberate decision to distance himself from such situations.
