Jamie Dornan tells how he cried when visiting old pub he used to work in

Jamie Dornan has opened up on his life in London working in as a barman. The Holywood man left Northern Ireland around 20 years ago to work in Tattersall Tavern, located in Knightsbridge.

Appearing on The Late Late Show with James Corden alongside 'Thor: Love and Thunder' star Tessa Thompson, James told Jamie : "I can see you being a good barman."

The Fifty Shades star replied: "Probably better than I am an actor, yeah. But yeah, it was kind of a bleak time to be honest. I loved working in a bar, but people are rude.

"One guy used to come in everyday and click his fingers at me...

"It was a bad time... I honestly will never forget the guys face. What a p****, anyway..."

Jamie added: "But yeah, good times. I went back there for the first time after 19 years... It's right by, you know Zuma? The very fancy Japanese restaurant, and when I was working there, I used to out be bringing the bins out and Freddie Ljungberg and all these like footballers and stuff would be going by with like these Miss World women and I'd be covered in bin juice, throwing bottles into a wheelie bin, thinking 'one day'.

"So my wife and I last year were going to Zuma, and I said 'Look, can we have a pint in Tattersall Tavern?'

"I had a wee cry actually. It was emotional. It hasn't changed at all. The pub is exactly the same."
