And it’s distinctly less sexy than his last one

Jamie Dornan was more or less the only good thing about that weird 50 Shades Of Grey film – he’s probably in our top 10 of list of people we really wish were our boyfriend.

Selasi Gbormittah from the Bake Off is currently number one.

And now he’s swapping masks and whips for tights and a hat – as he’s set to star in a new adaptation Robin Hood.

Which we expect will be far more relaxing and family-friendly and have much less domestic abuse undertones.

He’ll star as Will Scarlet, one of the merry men – Taron Egerton will play Robin Hood, Jamie Foxx Little John, and Even Hewson Maid Marion.

This news comes after Jamie removed himself from any possibility of starring in a fourth 50 Shades film.

He said: "We have done two movies back to back now, and I’m actually finished with it. I’ve done Fifty Shades forever."

WE FEEL YA, JAMIE.

"I move on very fast in my mind. As much as from the outside people think you are synonymous with one character, but I’m very much like, ‘Right, that’s done’ and move on to the next project and worry about that character," he told The Sun.

The fourth film in question hasn't actually been confirmed, but would be based on the book centred around his character called Grey.

Even three is way too much for us, TBH.

Jamie Dornan was apparently offered over million extra by producers to go full frontal in 50 Shades Darker.

Nawty.

You may remember he refused to do so in the first instalment (which may have made the film slightly more bearable), but producers were hoping a pay rise would convince him.

An insider told heat last year: "They’re offering Jamie a bonus of $1.5 million to do a full-frontal scene in Fifty Shades Darker.

"And that’s just the starting figure. Jamie would be crazy not to consider it.

"They have assured Jamie that it won’t be overt, but more of a brief tease - and he’ll have some creative control over how its handled.”
