WATCH: Jamie Dornan tell Jimmy Kimmel about underage drinking in Belfast

Rudi Kinsella

Jamie Dornan

We reckon quite a few people can relate to this…

Jamie Dornan seems like great craic altogether.

The star of Fifty Shades of Grey is always a treat on chat shows as well.

In the past we’ve seen him discussing Fifty Shades on Graham Norton and managed to have everyone in stitches as talk went to the sex scenes he recorded during the movie.

And now we’ve got him discussing how he went about underage drinking when he was growing up in Belfast, and it’s pretty damn hilarious…

On Monday night, Dornan told one story in particular where he described himself wearing a turtleneck because he thought it would make him look older, and telling bouncers that he studied “electrical science” in college.

Have a look for yourself here:

Kimmel seems fairly taken aback by the entire thing. He also very nearly described where Dornan grew up as “England”, before quickly correcting himself…

The Belfast man was adamant that this wasn’t too strange an occurrence in Belfast, and that the bouncers just don’t care.
