FIFTY Shades Of Grey star Jamie Dornan has said the implications of Brexit keep him awake at night. The Bafta-nominated actor from Northern Ireland says he cannot envisage a positive outcome for the country.
Dornan, who also had a starring role in BBC drama series The Fall as serial killer Paul Spector, disclosed his fears for the future during a TV interview that will be screened on UTV on Wednesday.
The 35-year-old said: “I am kept awake at night for what it means for this country, I can’t really see a sound solution. Some of the people who have a say in it over here break my heart a little bit.
“I think this is the last thing that this country needs at the moment, and I just don’t see how there’s a positive outcome for Northern Ireland in the matter.”
Dornan added: “There’s lots of different very interesting options on the table, and I think they should all be seriously considered – but who knows where we will end up.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
