Jamie Dornan displays his muscular physique during Fifty Shades Darker filming... after co-star Dakota Johnson surprised him with birthday balloons on set

He spent his 34th birthday on the set of Fifty Shades Darker and was treated to a special surprise by his co-star Dakota Johnson.

But Jamie Dornan was back to work as usual on Tuesday in Burnaby, Canada after Dakota planted dozens of balloons in his trailer earlier this week.

The Northern Irish heartthrob looked in good spirits as he ran lines and chatted with crew members working on the second installment of the blockbuster trilogy.

Jamie looked handsome as ever in his off-duty look, pairing a simple black T-shirt with a pair of shorts and purple hued shades.

Sitting on the steps of his trailer, the star - who plays the S&M loving titular character in the popular franchise - ensured he stayed cool in the shade.

The Fall star was recently spotted filming high-octane crash scenes alongside his co-star Robinne Lee, who plays Christian's second in command, Ros Bailey.

It seemed that Christian and his corporate lieutenant have managed to fly into trouble - despite his reputation as a commendable pilot- as the pair appear to plummet out of the sky.

With the chopper being propelled up into the air, with a shower of shrapnel flying up around the chasis, it appeared the duo and the Grey Enterprises chopper are in for a bumpy ride.

Fifty Shades Darker is the second installment in the Fifty Shades trilogy, which is being adapted from E.L. James' hit novel series.
