Jamie Dornan was ‘contractually obliged’ to work in Nice after Bastille Day tragedy

Jamie Dornan has revealed that he had to continue working on 50 Shades of Grey in Nice the day after the tragic Bastille Day terrorist attacks took place.

The actor was filming the franchise’s third film in the South of France when the tragedy happened.

“There’s this contractual obligation to work the next day, which is a very strange environment to work in,” he said.

The Belfast native wasn’t impressed with the production forcing them to work the next day after such an tragic event.

“It felt very frivolous and wrong to be making something as silly as a f**king movie the day after something like that happened,” he told ComingSoon.net.

“It was, as you can imagine, a bloody awful situation.

“You’d be affected by it wherever you were in the world.”

The father-of-two had brought his family over to the country to join him whilst filming and stayed in Nice while the rest of the cast and crew resided in Monaco.

“Most of the cast and crew were actually staying in Monaco so there’s a little bit of distance there, but my family and I wanted a little bit more space so we were actually staying in Nice.”

“The first thing that everyone has to work out was is everybody safe, is the whole crew and cast safe,” he added.

“Then you have the strange thing of the next day still trying to make this movie that’s costing millions of dollars to put together.”
