‘I don’t see him as Christian Grey at all. If anything, he is further from him. He is like a big goofball and a very funny Irish guy. Not this like stud hardcore man,’ she added.

‘He is so many worlds apart from that character as a human being that I can’t even see that character in him.’

Danielle also said it was ‘amazing’ filming season two of The Tourist in Ireland.

She continued: ‘The sad thing was a lot of cast and crew we worked with in Australia [for season one] wasn’t in Ireland.’

‘That was the hardest part but everyone was Irish, everyone knew where to go and I was just thrust into this world that was really really welcoming. It was really amazing.’

The first season of the Stan Original series focused on Dornan’s character Elliot as he got stuck in the outback after a car tried to run him off the road.

He woke up in hospital with no idea what had happened.
