Was it ever dull to begin with? A new report is saying that 50 Shades of Grey star Jamie Dornan is the reason why Northern Ireland is being considered one of the sexiest places on the planet, thanks to his charisma and huge success in the box office film.

According to the Belfast Telegraph on Monday, Niall Leonard has made the claim that the film has helped Dornan's native Northern Ireland improve their image from around the world. Leonard's wife EL James wrote the bestselling 50 Shades series.

"Northern Ireland is sexy again. People understand our accents. We've had our teeth fixed," he said in an interview.

Leonard will now be writing the screenplay for the film's sequel, 50 Shades Darker, which he declares both "a real challenge" and "scary."

What's more, Irish men are the sexiest in the world, thanks to Dornan.

Belfast Live reported earlier this month that a study of 110,000 people by MissTravel.com found Irish men at the top of the list, followed by Australian, Pakistani and American men. English, Scottish, Italian, Nigerian, Danish and Spanish men round out the top ten of sexiest men from around the world.

For American men, Armenian, Barbadian, and American ladies topped their poll of the sexiest women on the planet, which is probably a nod to the Kardashian family, who have Armenian roots, and Barbadian-born singer Rihanna.
