JAMIE DORNAN IS the hottest man in the world, according to Heat Magazine.

He’s proudly flying the flag for Northern Ireland, despite playing American billionaire Christian Grey in Fifty Shades of Grey.

Here are some of the ways he stays true to his Nordie roots…

1. The way he says ‘darlin’

Dornan’s character in The Fall, Paul Spector, refers repeatedly to his young daughter and his wife as ‘darlin’ as only a Belfast man can.

"Hurry up and pass the Lurpak darlin''. I'm need to rush out for a spot of serial killin', darlin'" BBC BBC

2. His spreading of the accent

Boardwalk Empire star Charlie Cox says he turned to his football pal Dornan for help with the Belfast twang.

Cox says that Dornan recorded the lines for his Boardwalk Empire screentest, helping him to secure the role.

It’s Holywood Co. Down, not Hollywood California, ok?
