Danielle Macdonald reveals what it was REALLY like to work opposite Jamie Dornan in The Tourist

Jamie Dornan won fans with his breakthrough role in Fifty Shades of Grey. 

And Australian actress Danielle Macdonald has revealed exactly what it was like to work alongside Jamie Dornan in their new Stan Original series The Tourist.

In an interview with 9Entertainment on Monday, the 30-year-old star spoke about starring opposite the Hollywood heartthrob in the upcoming mystery thriller series.

According to the report, Danielle and her co-star, Shalom Brune-Franklin, both described the 39-year-old Irish hunk as ‘funny, kind and full of energy’. 

‘He’s a really hard worker and he’s very much an amazing lead actor to have because he’s so great with the entire crew and cast,’ added Danielle. 

‘He’s just really warm and he really gathers everyone in, everyone’s an equal and it’s really nice being around him. 

‘He’s also a great scene partner, you know, it’s fun to play with him in scenes.’

The Tourist stars Jamie as a man who’s being followed by a tank truck driver, who’s determined to run him off the road.

He later wakes in hospital, injured and with no idea who he is, and must figure out why he’s being pursued.   

The series was shot in South Australia, and in an interview with news.com.au in June, Jamie spoke about his love of the country, particularly Adelaide.  

‘It’s the easiest place we’ve ever lived, I think,’ he said, after relocating to Australia with his wife of eight years, musician Amelia Warner, and the couple’s three children.

He also reflected on a trip he took with his family to Kangaroo Island, describing it as ‘a beautiful place’.

‘The food was brilliant, and there were beautiful views over the water, and kangaroos running around,’ he recounted.
