Following a public vote earlier this year, actor Jamie Dornan and rugby hero Rory Best were selected as the favourite local living legends to be celebrated on a special Metro Double Decker Metro Legends bus wrap.

With top radio personality Pete Snodden as the guide, the group set out on a 90-minute tour around Belfast to visit key locations associated with each of the stars.

Jamie Dornan is known around the globe for playing Christian Grey in the film ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’, which had one of the biggest opening weekends of all time for an R-rated film.

Jamie also plays a leading role in BBC’s ‘The Fall’, a successful hit series credited with helping put Belfast on the film and television production map.
