Jamie Dornan spotted with 'bloodied ear' during filming in Dublin

Jamie Dornan appears hurt with a bloodied ear as he holds his arm on the streets of Dublin.

The Co Down A-Lister has been spotted on set in Ringsend in Dublin filming the second series of Australian-themed drama, The Tourist.

Our pictures show the Hollywood hunk dressed in a dark green jacket over a burnt orange T-shirt with dust covered jeans and boots looking hurt as he stands beside a blue coloured car on set.

Streets in the city have been transported back in time to the 1970s for filming of the hit BBC show.

Last month, the 41-year-old was pictured in Bray, giving photographers the peace sign as he took a coffee break.

Earlier that week, Dornan filmed other scenes at nearby Djouce woods in Co Wicklow, where makeup was used to make him look bloodied.

The first series of The Tourist was broadcast last year and was well received by critics.

Digital Spy described of the show as "twistier than Jamie Dornan's own curly locks", adding: "The Tourist jumps between genres too, scattered like The Man's erratic thoughts, and in doing so, the show proves itself to be so much more than just another BBC primetime thriller."

The first season of the series, which was screened in the UK and Ireland on BBC1, focused on Dornan's character Elliot after he gets stuck in the outback after a car tries to run him off the road. He then wakes up in hospital and realises he has no memory.

Outback cop Helen Chambers (Danielle Macdonald) becomes involved in his case and viewers soon realise Elliot has a murky past. While Helen initially tries to track him down the pair eventually fall for each other.

The growing romance followed Helen’s marriage deteriorating due to her abusive husband.

The new season follows the action to Dublin, a year after Elliott left the outback, as he comes face to face with his past.

Helen travels to Ireland with Dornan's troubled character, only to be dragged into the mystery of his past life.

Danielle was pictured on set in Co Wicklow in March.

Kin stars Francis Magee (Bren Kinsella) and Mark McKenna (Anthony Kinsella) also star in the new series, while Conor MacNeill, Olwen Fouéré and Vikings actor, Diarmaid Murtagh, have also been cast in the second series.

Last June The Tourist, which was filmed in south Australia, won three awards at the Monte Carlo TV Festival.

It won Best Series and Best Creation at the prestigious international event in Monaco, and also took home the Public Prize.

It became the BBC's most watched TV drama of last year, winning a massive 11.4million viewers.
