What a freak accident!
Jamie Dornan was hospitalized last year while on vacation with a pal, thinking he thought he was having a heart attack — only to realize he’d actually had an unfortunate run-in with a nasty bug! And we don’t mean the flu — a bug bug!
In an episode of BBC‘s podcast The Good, the Bad and the Unexpected out earlier this month, the Fifty Shades of Grey star’s friend Gordon Smart revealed the incident that led them both to seek medical attention. The buddies were on a golf trip in Portugal which, per his Instagram, occurred in March 2023. They each thought they’d had one too many as they started to feel unwell just one day into the trip! Turns out it was way more serious than a hangover, though!!

After getting looked at by doctors and nurses, he was discharged from the hospital (where one of his friends was also receiving treatment) — only to get back to his hotel to see his famous pal in trouble! He explained:
Yikes!!
Jamie was also reportedly rushed in for medical attention and eventually treated. His friend added:
Oof. Bad timing!

Per Forest Research, pine processionary moth caterpillars have tiny hairs that contain irritating protein which can be painful to the skin, eyes, and throat. In rare cases, they can cause allergic reactions. Who knew?! Certainly not Gordon and Jamie! Concluding the wild story, the podcast
