Dornan in Forbes top 10

THE Fall star Jamie Dornan has been named among US magazine Forbes's top 10 celebrities to watch in 2015.

The Holywood-born actor has gained international recognition thanks to his portrayal of serial killer Paul Spector in the BBC drama.

Forbes predicts he will shoot to superstardom after appearing as Christian Grey in the film based on the best-selling Fifty Shades of Grey book.

"Even though he won't be going full frontal, all eyes will be on Jamie Dornan when the film version of Fifty Shades of Grey hits theatres in February," the magazine said.

The list of 10 celebrities to look out for next year was topped by British actor John Boyega who is to play a stormtrooper in the upcoming Star Wars film.

British actress Emilia Clarke - better known as Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones - also appears on the list.

Dornan's work on The Fall saw him win two gongs at the Irish Film and Television Awards this year for best television actor and rising star.

He was also nominated in the best television actor category at the British Academy Television Awards.

He is filming a co-starring role in American supernatural thriller The Ninth Life of Louis Drax, based on the book of the same name.
