Dakota is on the brink of superstardom. Who is she? Where will this journey take her?
According to director Sam Taylor-Johnson, the shy, relatively unknown daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson was an easy choice for the role of the vulnerable Anastasia Steele.
“She blew us out of the water,” Taylor-Johnson recalls to Vogue. “Dakota has the ability to play so fragile and vulnerable, but with this underlying strength that makes you feel she is going to triumph.”
Her co-star Jamie Dornan couldn’t agree more. Taylor-Johnson calls the two’s chemistry “immediate.”
“Dakota is very funny — and humor on a film set goes a long way,” Dornan says. “But she also had the ability to be a very strong dramatic actress. She’d be telling a joke one minute and breaking your heart on-screen the next — so she was perfect.”
Dakota we are definitely routing for you here. We know that you and Jamie are going to be amazing in the Fifty Shades of Grey!! So far the chemistry seems Fifty Shades of Sexy!! Can’t wait to watch you on the big screen!!
