Actor Dominic Cooper heaved a huge sigh of relief when told he would not be required to film in war-torn Iraq for ‘The Devil’s Double’, The Daily Mail said yesterday.

The ‘Mamma Mia!’ star, 31, is playing Saddam Hussein’s murderous son Uday in the movie, which will be shot in Malta.

“A few scenes were scheduled for Baghdad but at the moment they have been shelved,” a pal said. “Dominic is happy he won’t need his bodyguards.”
