Jamie Dornan Stalked Woman On Tube For TV Role

Fifty Shades Of Grey star Jamie Dornan has revealed he stalked a woman on the London Underground to prepare for his role as a serial killer in The Fall.

The Northern Irish actor, who appeared alongside Gillian Anderson in the show, said he kept his "distance" and did it in a "really half-hearted" way.

"I like, followed a woman off the train one day to see what it felt like to pursue someone like that," he told the LA Times.

He added: "It felt kind of exciting in a really dirty way and I'm not proud of myself but I do think I learned something from it".

The BBC Two show was critically acclaimed but has also been accused of glamorising violence against women - with its writer saying it "lingered too intimately" on the killer's brutal crimes.

The drama, which attracted more than three million viewers, revolved around Dornan's character Paul Spector attacking young, professional women.
