Jamie Dornan's Trip To Portugal Was Disrupted By A Freak Accident

Jamie Dornan has experienced 'freakish' things in his life, including one scary stalker-like situation with a fan. But nothing has been as freaky as his brush with creepy caterpillars during a trip to Portugal. The actor's good friend Gordon Smart recalled the moment they both had to rush to the hospital after they were experiencing odd symptoms during a game of golf. It turns out that they came in contact with toxic processionary caterpillars, which are life-threatening little creatures. 

While on the BBC's "The Good, the Bad and the Unexpected" podcast, Smart figured that he and Dornan weren't feeling good because of their partying from the night before but that wasn't the case. Gordon said that at first he felt a tingle in his arm and assumed that it might have been the beginning of what felt like a heart attack. "Now, I'm a fairly healthy guy but once you start thinking, you're having a heart attack, you're pretty sure that you're convincing yourself that you are having one," Smart recalled. "Jamie said, 'Dear me. Gordon, about 20 minutes after you left, my left arm went numb, my left leg went numb, my right leg went numb, and I found myself in the back of an ambulance."

But that wasn't the only thing that happened during their ride to the hospital.
