American actor Luke Grimes, who rose to fame with his role in the erotic Fifty Shades of Grey and Fifty Shades Darker, has played quite a few adventurous roles in the thriller and crime genres. From acting in 'American Sniper' to Horror TV series 'True Blood', and 'The Magnificent Seven' to the 2019 blockbuster drama 'Yellowstone', the star is steadily rising to fame. But do we know him outside of movies and TV shows? Here are five things that we need to know about the Yellowstone star who plays Kayce Dutton in the Paramount Network series.

‘Not really a fan of organized religion’

The 36-year-old, Ohio born actor was raised in the strict religious family of Grimes to father Randy Grimes and Angie Barker; his father worked at the Open Bible Christian Church as a Pentecostal pastor. He spent his childhood at church camps in devotion to God, however he later realized that his true calling was not the congregation but the stage and quoted, “I’m not really a fan of organized religion”. His parents supported him in his dreams despite not being financially well. They mortgaged their home to send him to a prestigious American drama school to learn the nuances of acting. 

A prodigy from AADA

The actor who shot to fame with the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise is a proud alumni of American Academy of Dramatic Arts (Class 2004). The premium institute has produced award winning notable actors like Academy award winner Anne Hathaway, Golden Globe winner Jessica Chastain, legend Robert Redford, Gail Fisher, Adam Scott, Danny DeVito and many more. 
 

A low key actor

Maybe the actor is too much into building his craft that he does not let the paparazzi get a sneak peek of his life. He is not on any social media platforms - exhorting a mystical aura around himself. That’s why fans on Twitter always remind each other in tweets about the fake accounts that are made in his name. “Just a reminder that Luke is not on social media, regardless if it says 'official' in the name or not. It is fake. Should Luke get on social media we will let you know. Thank you,” tweeted a fan. 
 

Girlfriend or Single?

Rumors always surface in regard to the life of celebrities - their relationships and affairs garnering headlines. But due to his low profile, Luke might not have given much scoop to news tabloids to flare his relationship status. In the past, he has been linked to actress Gillian Zinser in 2012. But the duo never clearly stated if the rumours are true or not. The tittle tattle over the actor’s love life also linked him with ‘Monster’ actress Charlize Theron in 2013 but the rumors quickly subsided. So, it's still a mystery whom the actor is dating!
 

Choice of Films

The low key actor is very ethical in his professional conduct and very straight forward when it comes to things he cares about. In an interview given to The Glass magazine, he mentioned, “If it’s something I care about, there is no end to how much I will work at it. If I don’t care about it, good luck getting me to do anything. I wish this were different, I’d probably be richer or something, but I guess I don’t really care about that.” The actor has mostly featured in crime, adventure and thriller shows and movies. When asked about what one can find in his DVD library, he said, “Documentaries. Stand Up specials. Portlandia. I go through phases, and sometimes I consume a lot of films but sometimes I want to see what real people are doing, or numb out and laugh.”
