Films about love and sex are often very emotional and evoke a whole range of feelings in the viewer. Have you ever wondered how the actors themselves feel during filming? After all, in most cases, these are strangers to each other, who are embarrassed to even undress, not to mention more... The other day it came out on the screens, and for the release of this erotic story, we found for you statements from the main actors about the filming of the most piquant things. It turns out that on the other side of the frame everything is not so simple...
Jamie Dornan:
As actors, we are willing to do strange things on camera. But we still have normal human reactions. When the “Motor!” command sounded on the first day, I had only one thought in my head: “What is going on here? I’m a father!” I learned how to tie knots and use a whip. Some of the scenes filmed in the Red Room were uncomfortable for me. I had to do things with Dakota that I wouldn't do with any woman of my own free will. I always wanted to protect her. I understood how difficult it was for her. The command “Cut!” sounds, and she is still lying naked, tied to the bed.
Filming began three days after my daughter was born. One rainy evening after work, I kissed my wife and child and went to the so-called sex dungeon to watch a domination session take place. It was... useful. But I can't say that I enjoyed it.
Dakota Johnson:
During filming bed scenes there were very few people on the site - my mother told me that I had the right to demand this. I didn’t see the famous “Red Room” for two and a half months - they didn’t let me in, they didn’t even show me a photo. When I first got there, I reacted the same way as Ana herself. It was a different world: whips, whips, and a whipping bench, which was made especially for me, according to my exact dimensions.
Jamie was the first one to throw the blanket over me when the take was finished. And he tried to make sure that it didn’t really hurt me. But one day I got a neck injury - Jamie had to throw me on the bed over and over again. I think we need to edit this scene into a coub!
Jamie and I had one coach between us. Since I had to shoot naked, I wanted to look not just good, but very good! Therefore, I worked out a lot, ate healthy food and underwent more hair removal than any woman has ever dreamed of.

Despite the many piquant moments in the film “50 Shades of Gray,” Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan are not a couple at all. Moreover, the news was announced by Dakota Johnson herself: “after such piquant eroticism in the film, we will forever remain friends.”

It is known that Jamie Dornan worked for a long time as a model for fashion brands Armani, Dior, Calvin Klein and Boss. But real popularity, as reported in latest news, came to him after the role of Christian Gray in the erotic trilogy with Dakota Johnson.
What is known about Jamie Dornan’s personal life is that for a long time he was known as a ladies’ man. He briefly dated actress Keira Knightley. Then there was an affair with Lindsay Lohan and Kate Moss, with whom he broke up due to close attention from the press, according to the latest news.

In 2013, Jamie Dornan tied the knot with Colin Farrell's ex-wife, singer Amelia Warner, who are still together to this day. The couple already has two daughters – 5-year-old Dulcie and 2-year-old Amelia. They do not often share personal photos and tell news about their family life. It is now known that the actor is starring in the role of Robin Hood and in 2018 he will delight fans with his participation in 4 films.

Judging by the latest news, 27-year-old Dacona Johnson, daughter of Melanie Griffith, is not yet married. At the age of 17, she became the face of the MANGO company and played supporting roles for a long time. It is noteworthy that Dakota Johnson is naturally blonde, but for the film “50 Shades of Gray” she had to dye her hair brunette.

Looking at how Dakota Johnson looks now, it’s hard to believe the news that at almost 20 years old she underwent compulsory treatment for alcohol and drug addiction. The actress dated Jordie Masterson in 2012, but they broke up after starring in an erotic film, according to recent news reports. For two years, Dakota Johnson dated musician Matthew Hitt, but this union did not last long. It is known that the star of the erotic film is now dating Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin.

The sequel to the acclaimed erotic blockbuster “50 Shades of Gray” ─ “Fifty Shades Darker” has been released in Russia. We decided to go through Johnson's latest interviews and find out who this shy brunette is, how she feels about her popularity and the role that brought her fame, and what will happen if you deprive her of whips and bandages.
At the premiere of "50 Shades Darker" (Los Angeles, February 2, 2017)Dakota Johnson is not yet 30. She is a daughter famous actors Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson and made her film debut at the age of 10. Then young Dakota starred in her stepfather Antonio Banderas’ film “A Woman Without Rules.” After 15 years and a little over ten episodic roles, she gets the right to become a woman who will change sex life million Unexpected, right?
“When I read the book, I really liked Anastacia - she is honest, sincere, loving. I was glad to play her. Since I had to shoot nude, I wanted to look not just good, but very good! So I worked out a lot, ate healthy food and underwent more hair removal than any woman has ever dreamed of,” Johnson recalls about her participation in the film in an interview with American Glamor.
Of course, the main merit in the fight for sexual liberation and a sharp jump in sales of household ropes belongs to the well-known author of the sex bestseller E.L. James (pseudonym of the English writer Erica Leonard Mitchell). But still, it was Dakota who became the girl who gave her face and body to the previously faceless heroine. Now everyone can imagine what that same Anestesia looks like. It was the film adaptation of “50 Shades” that made the characters so real and desirable. Even if you haven't read the book, you know for sure that main character Romana is the owner of an angelic appearance, an immaculate look and a shy smile. And whose merit is this? That's right, Dakotas.
“Overall the film could have been a little more raunchy. True, we tried to make “Shades” as sexy as possible, but we also had the task of entering the box office with an R rating (viewing by persons under 16 years of age is allowed, but only “accompanied” by adults ─ approx. ed.), so some scenes had to be handled very delicately,” says the legendary Anne V. Coates, the 90-year-old Oscar winner and outstanding editor who was entrusted with working on the final version of “Fifty Shades of Gray.” It is she who is responsible for the appearance of naked body parts of Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson in the frame.
It’s interesting that in the end, Dakota’s participation in the film brought her mostly only problems: her then-boyfriend, musician of the rock band Drowners Matthew Heath, could not stand the test of his friend’s fame and left the girl without waiting for the premiere. Dakota herself interview The The Telegraph admitted: “There is something terrible about the fact that now absolutely everyone will know who I am. Naturally, I'm worried about this role. All the time. Even after the film was released, I periodically ask myself: “What the hell have I done?” But most of the time I’m still comfortable.” Probably, the actress’s romantic attitude towards this whole story played a large part in accepting the role and plot of the film. In her opinion, “50 shades of gray” is amazing fairy tale about love. Only a true romantic could see tenderness in the middle of the “red room of pain” and love between the lines of the contract about sexual boundaries.
In confirmation is the confession of Johnson, who once told reporters that she was very afraid to tell her parents that she had received the role. Well, tell me, what kind of person would be embarrassed to tell his loved ones that he will star in a film that, if it does not become a cult, will definitely tear this world of cinema to shreds, collecting record amounts at the box office? “Yes, sex. Yes, a little whipping and vicious words. Let your breasts and butt be slightly visible close up, but your parents didn’t even do that on camera!” - Johnson can answer with confidence. But no, it didn’t matter to the girl that the role she received would glorify her like no one else. The family's opinion is more important. Isn't this a sign of humanity, which is so often denied in Hollywood?
Now it becomes clear why Dakota forbade her relatives from watching the film - there is no need for her relatives to see too much sex. Well, it’s her right, but something tells us that the parents broke the taboo after all. After all, their daughter became the face of a film that changed the lives of at least half the planet. Wouldn't you do that?
As for popularity, Dakota speaks very modestly about it and emphasizes that the real star of the film is Jamie Dornan. Here she is, of course, disingenuous. Even though the role of Christian Gray was truly fateful for the 33-year-old Briton, he cannot compete with the heroine of Dakota Johnson. Or rather, both characters and their performers stand on the same level of popularity. To imagine one without the other is a lost cause. Who would Gray have lashed with his whips if not for Johnson's heroine?
However, such modesty is quite understandable. Dakota grew up in an acting family, so she absorbed such concepts as fame and fame with her mother’s milk. Dozens of paparazzi with cameras at the ready may scare you, but when your parents are sex symbols of the 1980s, you begin to relate to all this, if not more simply, then certainly without “stardust.”
Direct speech: Dakota Johnson about himself and others
About a career. Why aren't they filming my mom anymore? She is a wonderful actress! Why aren't they filming my grandma anymore? She is magnificent (American actress Tippi Hedren, known for her roles in the Hitchcock thrillers “The Birds” and “Marnie” - ed.). This industry is fucking brutal. It doesn't matter how cool you are ─ if you're an actress, you'll always feel useless. This is absurd! Whenever I am not busy in projects, the thought that it is not a fact that I will act in film again cannot leave me. And every year this feeling will grow more and more...
About "50 shades of gray". I’m proud of the film, and I don’t want to distance myself from it - it’s part of my job. The more I work, the more roles I get, and the more facets of me you can see.
About appearance. In normal life, I don't always look great. It doesn't happen that you are always great, so most of all I love honest films that show reality as it is. Including my appearance.
About family. I always understood that my family was popular, but this never gave me the right to think that because of this I was allowed everything in the world.
About filming the sequel. Until work began on the second part of “Shades,” I had time to rest and... say goodbye to friends, relatives, free time and dates. I knew that when work began, there would definitely not be time for all this... Of course, filming explicit scenes was still difficult, because on the set there is no place for an intimate atmosphere ─ we are in sight all the time.
Perhaps the film “50 Shades of Gray” would not have become so popular if it were not for the excellent work of the main characters, Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan. The on-screen romance of Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson attracted to cinemas huge amount viewers - the film “recaptured” its budget already on the first weekend.
Relationship between Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan
Fans of the film and the main characters, of course, are wondering whether the “chemistry” has transferred from the stage to the actors’ lives, whether Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan are dating, or is it just a matter of acting?
Journalists closely observe the actors and do not hesitate to ask questions, including to the director of the film. Sam Taylor-Johnson decided to create intrigue around the personal lives of Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan. He does not deny the romantic relationship between them, although he does not confirm it. Sam Taylor-Johnson said in an interview that the main characters have fun and enjoyment together in everyday life. The ambiguity of his words is reinforced by photographs of Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan together. They were captured not only on the set, but also at parties - in the photo the couple seems to be shining, perhaps from mutual love.

The first film is built on sex, humor and dominance. In the second, perhaps, Anastasia takes power into her own hands.
Dakota Johnson: Given the ending of the first film, it's very important for her to take control of their relationship. If Christian wants to be with her, it will be on her terms. But, of course, their relationship will develop. Anastasia will not only compromise, but will also sacrifice her beliefs for him. Just like him, actually.
Is this a love story or a battle between two egos?
Jamie Dornan: Love! It contains the essence of the films and the novel. "Fifty Shades" is not about how two selves come together in battle, it is a story about two people who are trying to build their love in the best possible way. The films do justice to the books and remain fairly close to them in content.
The movies are a little more fun. Anastasia on the silver screen is much more entertaining than on the pages of a book, isn’t it?
Dakota Johnson: She's a pretty strong character.
Jamie Dornan: However, perhaps it was you who gave her this strength, strength of character, sense of humor.
Dakota Johnson: Perhaps... I think she's quite funny, but not everyone sees that in her.
Jamie Dornan: Well, in the second film this aspect of her character will be revealed even more. [laughs]
How do each of you see your characters?
Jamie Dornan: Ha, if only we knew! We constantly discuss this among ourselves and with the director. But I don't feel like a big brother giving advice to my little sister. We're just trying to stay on the same page.
These roles suggest real intimacy. You had to become friends in real life to make this possible?
Dakota Johnson: We have a special relationship. I'm very close to Jamie's wife, his children, she wonderful person. There are a huge number of franchises filmed in Hollywood, but, in my opinion, this is the only one where the actors became true friends. On the other hand, if this were not the case, it would complicate everything...
You made friends outside film set?
Jamie Dornan: I wouldn't say that. We work thirteen hours a day together, so we've had time to get to know each other! [Laughs.] It brings people together, creates shared memories. Many will say that it’s all a movie, but we became friends pretty quickly. We have the same approaches to roles, we don’t mind laughing, especially after the most intense scenes. We are now deeply connected. The success that we experienced together is also quite a test.
You were filming in Nice when the terrorist attack occurred.
Jamie Dornan: I was there with my family, the film crew was in Monaco at the time. We were sleeping during the attack because I have small children, so we go to bed early. But at night they called me a lot, asking if everything was okay.
Dakota Johnson: But I didn't sleep. I didn’t go to bed until I found out if everything was okay with all the team members. I collected information drop by drop... It was a very difficult event. We wanted to stay to help France. And even more so, I didn’t want to shock people with the sight of a film crew from Hollywood who came only to work. As a young American woman, I have never been so close to the epicenter of an attack. I spent hours watching TV and reading newspapers.
The next day, Mr. Gray and Miss Steele couldn't tell that anything had happened?
Dakota Johnson: But it happened. We asked the French who worked on our team if we should pause filming out of respect. But they asked us in unison to continue, to return to work, not wanting to dance to the tune of terrorists.
How do you see your career continuing? There is always a risk that you will be constantly identified with your characters.
Dakota Johnson: Personally, it doesn't bother me. I can’t believe that someone will always see me as Anastasia.
Jamie Dornan: Agree. I think I can distance myself from my hero. How many actors had iconic roles before me and which of them went on to star in other films? The real problem here only in the inability to portray the character with the same dedication. The task is to continue to work, to search good projects, the ones that people would like to watch.
Jamie, your choice of roles is amazing. You just starred in a film by French director Alexandre Aja, The Ninth Life of Louis Drax. Quite a small project...
Jamie Dornan: It's definitely different from the Hollywood franchises. The budget is completely different, but the stakes are the same, and I just need that balance between these kinds of “personal” projects and high-profile films. I also really want to do a TV show where you can do a lot more in terms of writing than a classic film. Although in a sense, I owe the freedom that I now have to Christian Gray.
Dakota Johnson: Fifty Shades is a real platform for us to work on. Films allow us to open up. Instead of confining us to one role, as you suggest, they open up new horizons.
Now you are under the guns of the paparazzi 24/7. Is it like the proverb: no pain, no gain?
Jamie Dornan: I don't care, I just pretend they don't exist. I have never been interested in other people's lives, so I live as usual. When people gather in Paris near the Opera Garnier because we are filming there, that's just a certain moment in my life. The next day something different awaits me. My everyday life does not involve filming a film in Paris. This is just a few days... Moreover, this kind of “incident” is an extremely rare occurrence.
Dakota Johnson: I try to live this way normal life, as far as possible. Of course, I have famous parents, but I also have many friends who do not belong to the world of cinema. Of course, when I go to a premiere, I always think about what I should wear. But when I go shopping, I don’t care much. [Laughs.]
Jamie Dornan: The more you think about it, the more crazy you get. Better try to live ordinary life.
Dakota Johnson: And it would be boring to think through every day what you should do, what you should say...
So fame and recognition are not a problem for you?
Jamie Dornan: Yes, it is. We may just be better at dealing with it than other people. We live in rural areas, few people are interested in Mr. Gray there. I would get more attention if I spent five days a week in New York clubs. It was fun when I was twenty. Now I'm thirty-four and it's not like that.
Jamie, in England you were a member of a rock band. Was it that success that pushed you into a film career?
Jamie Dornan: [Laughs] We were friends, we started when we were seventeen, without any ulterior motive. Many wanted us to finally break up. But the adventure had a sudden ending.
Dakota Johnson: I can't imagine you in a rock band. [Laughs.]
Some critics call "Fifty Shades" a mixture of "Cinderella" and "The Life of Adele." What do you feel about it?
Dakota Johnson: Oh, I like it. But how many people actually say that? Either way, I find it flattering. This is great!
Jamie Dornan: I like these movies, so I don't mind either. In this particular case.
