The photo — in which Dornan looks at the camera while wearing a black leather jacket and sitting behind the wheel of a luxury car, presumably an Audi R8 — debuted on the film’s social media pages on Wednesday, June 18, the birthday of his fictional character.
As of Thursday afternoon, the photo had received over 54,000 likes on Facebook and had been retweeted and favorited over 1,700 times on Twitter.
Its release follows a black and white poster that came out in January — a rear view of Dornan as Grey in a suit contemplating the view from atop a skyscraper.
The 32-year-old former Calvin Klein model landed the coveted role of the bondage-loving billionaire in October, one month after the filmmakers’ original choice, “Pacific Rim” star Charlie Hunnam, withdrew from the project due to scheduling conflicts.
Dornan stars opposite Dakota Johnson, who will portray the female protagonist Anastasia Steele, a college senior and virgin whom Grey seduces and inducts into the world of BDSM (bondage, dominance, sadism and masochism).
“Fifty Shades of Grey”, the movie, is set for global release on Valentine’s Day in 2015.
