Jamie Dornan had a life-changing experience while playing Christian Grey in Fifty Shades of Grey and many might find it surprising.

Jamie Dornan Seen With Wife Amelia Warner & Newborn Daughter Leaving Vancouver?

When the 31-year-old recently stopped by U.K.'s The Graham Norton Show, he dished about one scene from the erotic film, in which his character danced with love interest Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson).

In order to prepare for the scene, Dornan had to take lessons, but he had a lot of trouble learning the classic dance because he's always had trouble walking properly. The Irish actor revealed that walks on his tiptoes.

Anastasia Steele Preparation is 'Kinda Boring' For Dakota Johnson? 

"So basically, I've always had a complex with the way I walk," he said. "I was really struggling with it, and the dance teacher said, 'you know what you need to do. Just think about it as walking.'"

He continued: "And I'm 31-years-old, literally the first thing you learn in life is to walk. And I was like, 'that's funny. I'm not great walking.'"

Dornan's teacher told him to simply think of his steps going in heel-to-toe fashion. 

"No one ever told me that," Dornan said. "I was always toe-to-more-toe! Now I just apply that every day, when I'm walking around."

Fans will get to see if Dornan perfected the dance when the Fifty Shades of Grey film adaption comes to theaters on Feb. 13, 2015.
