Focus features have released the first still of Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) from the hotly anticipated 50 Shades of Grey movie.

The image shows a smouldering leather clad Jamie Dornan as BDSM fanatic Christian Grey with one hand on the wheel of what we can only assume is a very expensive car.

Although Googling Jamie Dornan triggers hundreds of photos, this is the first frontal picture of the 32-year-old Irish heart throb as the bestselling novel’s Mr. Grey.

As of yet the only picture for fans to get excited about was of his back as he stood looking over a cityscape from behind a big glass window.

Fans will undoubtedly be teased with more pictures of the actor in the coming eight months, but what will the image show? A topless shot of Mr Grey? Miss Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson)? Or perhaps both of them in Christian’s play room?

The film directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson is due for release on Valentine’s Day 2015.
