Fans of “Fifty Shades of Grey” are anxiously anticipating seeing Jamie Dornan — a lot of Jamie Dornan — in the upcoming sequel to the steamy S&M film, and Dornan dropped by “Conan” tonight to talk about his role in the anticipated “50 Shades Darker”.
However, the Ireland-born star did more than just talk during his chat with host Conan O’Brien, who inquired about the insane fitness regimen Dornan undertook to get in shredded shape for all those clothing-free sex scenes.
During the interview, Dornan told O’Brien that director James Foley felt that having his character, kinky billionaire Christian Grey, simply lifting weights was far too pedestrian for such an exotic film.
“They did want to have a scene of him working out, and if he was just lifting weights, that was too boring, and so I just happened to say, ‘Oh, I have this one party trick that I can do. But I need a pommel horse.’”

However, he warned Foley that he’d only be able to perform said “party trick” once, and warned the director to so make sure “[the camera] is in focus and there’s film in” it.
Naturally, O’Brien had to see what all the fuss was about, and Dornan obliged by recreating his fitness feat on the edge of the talk show host’s desk — but only after issuing a warning.
“Just before I do this, if my face breaks or anything, you will pay for all that?” asked O’Brien, who refused to take any responsibility. “I will not personally pay for it,” the host joked.
“Fifth Shades Darker” hits theatres (pun intended) tonight, Thursday, Feb. 2.
