Fifty Shades Darker: Jamie Dornan’s Christian Grey ridiculed in ‘speed dating’ send-up
FIFTY SHADES DARKER’S controversial lead character is brilliantly mocked in an animated parody.
Christian Grey Speed Dating, shared by the YouTube account Cow Clown, shows a cartoon version of the BDSM enthusiast meeting a string of women - and not getting very far.
“I think you should right up-front, my tastes are very… singular. I’m into weird sex stuff,” he tells one woman, who - needless to say - isn’t very impressed.
“Did I mention I’m a billionaire?” he asks someone else.
Imagine seeing Christian Grey out speed-dating?
Christian certainly has a way with words
Created by Richard Park and Steven Haas, the cartoon makes light of the character’s rather self-absorbed attitudes.
He’s played in the movies by Jamie Dornan, and speculation has recently fired up that a version of the story from his perspective - named Grey, previously released as a book - could also be made into a movie.
Talk started when Marcia Gay Harden said she would be interested in reprising the role of Christian’s mother.
Speaking to People, she said: “I’m trying to now think about it. ‘What would Christian’s point of view be. Would mom even be in it?’
Teaser: Fifty Shades Darker - "Be mine "
Fans are likely to lap up the gentle ribbing
“She rescued him. She was a doctor, she rescued him.”
She added: “I don’t know. Would I be in it? Yeah, sure. I’m game.”
