Christian Grey Actor Jamie Dornan Says He And Robert Pattinson Are 'Incomparable' Despite Both Eyed For 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' Role [PHOTO]

"Fifty Shades Of Grey" star Jamie Dornan has recently revealed that he and "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson are drinking buddies. However, he insists that they are "incomparable" despite their similarities in being eyed for the role of Christian Grey.

Dornan, who recently starred in "The Fall" as handsome serial killer Paul Spector, is slowly adjusting to his rising fame. He stated of Pattinson, "I don't remember what we talked about the last time I saw him. I think we just got drunk." However, he has taken note of the "Twilight" franchise's effect on Pattinson.

According to E Online, he said of Pattinson's time in the limelight, "I've been around Rob long enough to see what it's been like for him... I don't know if it's been a benefit to witness that. Whatever that is."

He continued, "By the way, it's not the same thing.  We're not the "Twilight" franchise. We're a different thing. Whatever my situation is, it's going to be different from Rob's. They are incomparable."

Hollywood Life reports that Pattinson was originally author E.L. James' pick for the role of Christian Grey. However, he turned it down. A source close to the star said, "Rob is not going to change his mind for doing the film; he doesn't want to commit to multiple films and another franchise. He wants his career to go in a completely different route. Add that to the fact that he is not the number one pick from the producers, it's just not happening."

Will Dornan be able to adjust to the heightened fame a franchise will bring? He stated, "I'm astonished at how many people are telling me my life is going to change. Everyone that I meet, especially in L.A.  People who run studios or other actors or people who are strangers...

Everyone has been saying that to me, 'Are you ready?' I don't have a good answer to that, because I don't know what I'm meant to be ready for. Whatever happens, happens. I'll just roll with the punches."
