OK, so how did Jamie get past everyone? Legit, he snuck into New York City when everyone thought he was on Robin Hood reshoots on the other side of the planet. And not-so-coincidentally, Fifty Shades Freed co-star Dakota Johnson just happens to be in the same city and staying at the same hotel, too? There’s more to this, so let’s break it down.
While everyone is busy scowering Budapest, frantically searching and expecting to see Will Scarlet back with Robin Hood’s merry men, Jamie decides to pull a Houdini and rather unexpectedly shows up in New York City at the infamous Bowery Hotel on November 2.
Like, how did this even happen? Catching most of us off guard, we foolishly assumed he’d be halfway around the world in the middle of Robin Hood re-shoots as Tim Michin announced were definitely happening on his Instagram a few days earlier. Jamie’s even sporting his Nottingham buzzcut and beard, so what the heck?! Sure, it’s great to see him again, but Jamie – you’re just as sneaky as Spector surprising us like that!
It was a nice surprise to see Jamie back in Eastern Time – Jamie, the Bowery Hotel and NYC suit him well.
Jamie’s Fifty Shades Freed counterpart Dakota Johnson, just happened to be in the same city at the same time and staying at the same hotel. Coincidence? Probably not. The pair was most likely there to amp up the Freed promo, seeing as how we’re only 98 days away from the theatrical premiere. Their stay wasn’t long as both left New York today to unknown destinations.
Wherever Jamie’s off to or whatever he’s got planned next we can only hope he manages to squeeze in some rest and relaxation post Fifty Shades Freed pandemonium.
