Forget Grey — red is where the action is. Filming a Hollywood sex scene is never especially sexy, but for Fifty Shades of Grey stars Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson, there was an added element of anxiety when it came to shooting the BDSM-themed scenes in Christian Grey’s infamous Red Room.
“The scenes in that room were definitely the most vulnerable scenes in the movie,” Johnson, 25, told Glamour for its March issue.
Added Dornan, 32: “Some of the Red Room stuff was uncomfortable. There were times when Dakota was not wearing much, and I had to do stuff to her that I’d never choose to do to a woman.”
That “stuff,” as fans who’ve read the book already know, included tying his costar to a bed, blindfolding her, and dragging an ice cube down her naked body.
Jamie and Dakota I applaud you for all that you did and are doing to bring this movie to the big screen. Christian and Anastasia are iconic for many of us, and from what I can tell you both did the characters justice.
Thank you for taking a chance even when things were totally and completely uncomfortable. You may not know it yet, but you have changed and helped the lives of so many. People should feel liberated and able to express who they are and what they want out of a relationship. I know this isn’t the most conventional, but to each his own.
I support you both 100 percent and look forward to seeing the final product. I know it will be epic and that you two are the Christian Grey and the Anastasia Steele!! Good luck and may you win many awards for your character portrayals.
