In a game called “Fifty Accents of Grey,” the two men alternated using a device dubbed the “accent generator,” and reading aloud lines from the _Fifty Shades_ novel in different accents. Dornan, who hails from Northern Ireland, was tasked with reading the line, “I don’t remember reading about nipple clamps in the Bible,” in a Scottish accent, while Fallon gave his best Russian impression. Though Dornan seems to have a range of accents down, die-hard _Fifty Shades_ fans will be happy to hear that on-screen Christian Grey is still all-American. _Read next:_ [Fifty Shades of Grey Director Didn’t Enjoy Working with Book’s Author](http://time.com/3702696/fifty-shades-of-grey-sam-taylor-johnson-el-james/?xid=time%5Freadnext "undefined") ### Fifty Shades of Grey: TIME's Exclusive Portraits of the Cast and Director  Dakota Johnson (Anastasia “Ana” Steele) and Jamie Dornan (Christian Grey) photographed at Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles on Jan. 13, 2015.
