Despite boasting a ripped torso and matinee idol looks, the Northern Irish hunk reveals he still sees himself as the ‘skinny kid’ of his youth. Speaking to the Irish Independent, he confessed: ‘I think I am like anyone, I have massive hang-ups about my physical appearance. ‘I was always fighting against stuff when I was a kid. I always felt skinny and small. Now, I’m 32… I have the same insecurities when I was a kid and when I see an image of myself, all I see is this skinny kid and I don’t like it.
‘No matter how many times you get filmed with your top off and the photographers are saying ‘Oh, you look great, add more oil”, and all that, you have all these things ingrained in your head – insecurities about yourself. All the people in the world saying stuff like this isn’t going to alter that. I only had four weeks to work out for this role. I would have liked more time. But like I said, I don’t think I am ever going to be happy with how I look.’

The 32-year-old former model has certainly never appeared to be concerned when it comes to stripping off, especially in his frequent raunchy underwear shoots for Calvin Klein. And he will shed his suit in the adaptation of EL James’ bestselling books when the movie hit screens on Friday.
Playing sadomasochist billionaire Christian Grey, fans will see him in a number of compromising positions with Dakota Johnson, who takes on the role of student-turned-bondage queen Anastasia Steele. Not that the explicit scenes came easy for the married father-of-one.

He told Notebook magazine: ‘If I was about to be doing something particularly heinous to Dakota, I would apologise in advance and say, “I’m probably not going to derive a huge amount of pleasure out of this. I want you to know that.”‘ But the pair will have to do it all again next year – director Sam Taylor-Johnson has confirmed that she is already contracted to helm the sequels. ‘I’m signed on,’ she told E! News, ‘Let’s see how this one goes first.’
