Max Martini has become the latest actor to sign up for the Fifty Shades Of Grey movies.
The star, who has previously had minor roles in Revenge, Pacific Rim and Captain Phillips, will play Jason Taylor, Christian Grey’s bodyguard, in the much-hyped adaptation of EL James’ novel.
Christian is, of course, being played by Jamie Dornan; while female lead Anastasia Steele is being portrayed by Dakota Johnson.
