Fifty Shades of Grey has more casting news - Pacific Rim actor Max Martini has been cast as Christian Grey’s (Jamie Dornan) bodyguard.
Martini will play Jason Taylor, the head of billionaire Grey’s security team. He’s also Grey’s personal bodyguard.
Deadline notes Taylor has been in Sony’s Captain Phillips starring Tom Hanks and the upcoming Sabotage starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Universal Pictures and Focus Features’ film adaptation of author E.L. James’ best-selling books has seen a cast shake-up, as Sons of Anarchy’s Charlie Hunnam was originally cast as Grey opposite Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele. However, Hunnam dropped out and former Calvin Klein model, Dornan, was cast.
Dornan has since spoken out about the role to EW saying, “I certainly don’t fear it.”
Johnson also spoke to EW, noting of the story, “I just really understand it.”
"I think it's an incredible love story, and that's why it's affected so many people,” she said. “Erica [author E.L. James] did a really good job of explaining how that just can happen sometimes and you have this chemical pull to someone. Adding in the sex makes it perfect. Sometimes you feel a little bit naughty, and that's okay."
The film has been pushed back for a Valentine’s Day 2015 release.
