Alexander, who had previously filmed gay love scenes for True Blood, said Harry was “very brave in just throwing himself out there.”
The Swedish actor shared: “The way it’s set up in the script, the audience knows as little about Ray as Colin does, and we kind of maintain that kind of level of mystery around the character.
“In terms of the specifics of the sub-dom relationship, he’s very clear and very upfront with Colin about what he wants, and that also creates an interesting trajectory for their relationship as the story and the love relationship evolve.”
The Guardian gave the film 4/5 stars, saying it’s “what Fifty Shades of Grey should have been”

Alexander told PrideSource that homosexuality has always been “the most natural thing” to him because his uncle and godfather is gay. Growing up, he felt “it was just as natural as being straight.”
