"50 Shades of Grey" star Jamie Dornan hospitalized due to poisonous caterpillars

Actor Jamie Dornan, who played the main role in the film "50 Shades of Grey", was admitted to the hospital while traveling to Portugal with a friend. The reason turned out to be poisonous caterpillars that live on local golf courses, the hairs of which can cause various reactions in the body.

As the actor’s friend Gordon Smart told a BBC podcast, he was first taken to the hospital with signs of a heart attack, and upon returning from the medical facility he learned that Dornan was also hospitalized. Smart went to the hospital because he felt "a tingling sensation in his left arm and a tickling sensation in his left arm," which made him think it was "a sign of the onset of a heart attack," despite the fact that he considers himself and Dornan to be perfectly healthy men.

"Jamie said, 'Oh my God.' Gordon, about 20 minutes after you left, my left arm, my left leg, my right leg went numb, and I ended up in the back of an ambulance."

They initially blamed it on a hangover, thinking their health problems were the result of drinking too much alcohol the night before. However, the reason turned out to be more exotic. “It turns out that we came across hairy processional caterpillars, and we were very lucky that we were alive after meeting them. It turns out there are caterpillars on golf courses in southern Portugal that are killing people's dogs and causing heart attacks in men in their 40s," he concluded.

There is currently no news about Dornan’s health, and the actor himself has not commented on the news of caterpillar poisoning.
