Gillian Anderson revealed to InStyle on Thursday, that originally they didn't want to hire someone who was so attractive like Dornan.
"The initial intention was not to hire somebody who was that attractive," she told the magazine. "However, it was clear that he was very much the man for the job. It didn't have anything to do with his good looks, although in the process we realized what that would do psychologically to the viewer. There was something intriguing about that, most definitely." Dornan plays a serial killer on the drama.

Although a lot of fans know Dornan from The Fall and Once Upon a Time, when Fifty Shades of Grey comes out in February, he'll be internationally known. But, Anderson isn't worried about her costar. "Jamie is one of the most grounded people I know. He has a really good head on his shoulders. He has a wonderful relationship with his family and friends. He has a really lovely wife and a lovely family life with his new baby. He's got it all in perspective, and has a very appropriate and right-sized take on all of this. I don't think he needs any advice."
