The County Down native admitted that he and director James Foley didn't want to do the traditional lifting weights shot, so instead he offered up his strenuous party trick. 

He said: 'I just happened to say "I've got this like one party trick that I can do like a sort of pommel horse".

'I was like, "Ok, look, you've got one take to get this." It's so hard to do. 

Adding: 'We did it and I was like, "Just make sure everything's in focus and there’s enough film in the camera and we’re going to do this once and then I’m going to need like a rest in my trailer."'

Jamie's acrobatic appearance comes as he begins the promotional trail for his new film Fifty Shades Darker - which hits cinemas on February 10.

On Tuesday, The Fall star joined Ellen DeGenres on The Ellen Show to discuss the sequel to the first steamy S&M movie and partake in a Fifty Shades spoof. 

The parody lampoons some of the more risqué erotic acts that have catapulted Jamie and his costar Dakota to worldwide fame in the first film.

The duo reprise their Fifty Shades Of Grey roles in the follow-up Fifty Shades Darker, in theaters on February 10. Jamie stars as the title character Christian Grey—a kinky billionaire who seduces college student Anastasia Steele, played by Johnson. 

Asked if he became familiar with the sex objects used in the drama, the actor - who is married to Amelia Warner - admitted that he stepped outside of his comfort zone, but ‘surprised’ himself.

'The funny thing is, pretty much everything you find in the red room, you've used a version of, but not for the same effect,' he explained to Ellen.

'Like, it's more for riding a horse or something. Or doing up a bag that's particularly full and if you're using a buckle. That kind of thing. You have the skill set and you kind of surprise yourself. Most of it—I have to admit—I was very green about all that stuff.’
