Jamie Dornan is inhabiting the role of Christian Grey in the first still released from the highly anticipated Fifty Shades of Grey movie.

Jamie Dornan As Christian Grey

The picture of Dornan as Christian was posted on the movie’s official Facebook page with the caption, “Happy Birthday Christian Grey.” In the photo, Dornan, decked out in a leather jacket, has one hand on the steering wheel as he gives a sultry stare to the camera.

Six months ago, the official Fifty Shades of Grey poster was released, showing only the back of Dornan’s Christian looking out on the city of Seattle from his office window under the tagline, “Mr. Grey will see you now.”

By playing the dominant S&M enthusiast and young billionaire Christian Grey, Dornan picked up a few skills – namely tying knots. “There are a couple of classic knots I know now,” he told the Guardian UK, “and I’ve put them to good use far too many times recently. In fact I’d like to do a job where I don’t have to tie women to beds.”

Fifty Shades of Grey is slated to hit theaters next Valentine’s Day weekend on February 13, 2015. It’s expected that films will be made for the next two books in E.L. James’ popular erotica series, though the sequels have yet to be confirmed.
