Dornan's scary ordeal happened during a golf trip to Portugal.
Opening up about the scary ordeal on BBC’s The Good, the Bad and the Unexpected podcast, Smart said he and Dornan initially thought they were just hung over from the night before.
Just one day into their vacation, Smart said he started feeling a “tingling in his left hand and tickling in his left arm” that made him believe it was “the sign of the start of a heart attack.”
Smart said he thought he was experiencing a heart attack.
“Now, I’m a fairly healthy guy but once you start thinking, you’re having a heart attack, you’re pretty sure that you’re convincing yourself that you are having one,” he explained.
Smart was taken to the hospital and later discharged after being observed by doctors and nurses.
When he returned to the hotel, he saw Dornan, 41, hooked up to medical equipment.
“Jamie said, ‘Dear me. Gordon, about 20 minutes after you left, my left arm went numb, my left leg went numb, my right leg went numb, and I found myself in the back of an ambulance,'” Smart recalled.
Dornan's health scare didn't stop the EMTs from reportedly asking for selfies.
