CIAO/AKM-GSIWith a body like that, it's no wonder Christian Grey wanted to get Anastasia Steele into his Red Room of Pain!
On Monday in Sicily, Fifty Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson gave a preview, perhaps, of what fans might expect to see in the movie when she showed off her slim, toned bikini body in a tiny two-piece.
Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson's daughter will likely be showing a lot more than that, too, in Fifty Shades of Grey. The very adult role involved shooting some intense sex scenes (maybe even "kinky f--kery, as Mr. Grey likes to put it)—something Dakota and co-star Jamie Dornan had to get used to!
But filming those S&M scenes probably isn't as wild and sexy as you might think.
"The reality of it," Jamie, 32, said on Today, "is that there's a burly man you don't know very well three feet from your face...which isn't how you usually have sex—[not] me, anyway."
Without missing a beat, Dakota deadpanned, "I do, a lot."
Ha. Really, though, filming those NSFW scenes is "more about visually what our bodies look like and what we're doing," she clarified, "so it's more of like a dance. It's like acrobatics."
Not to worry, though! Eloise Mumford (she plays Ana's roommate Kate Kavanagh in the flick) told E! News she "knew right away" the Fifty Shades of Grey movie "would be tasteful and artistic."
Sam Taylor-Johnson is "such a great director," she gushed, "and the cinematographer is Seamus McGarvey. He did Anna Karenina. It's going to be beautiful."
Oh my! Beautiful as it may be, though, its leading lady has banned her famous parents from seeing Fifty Shades of Grey.
"[Dakota] was like, 'You guys cannot come. There's no way.' So we're not going," Melanie told IndieWire. "I did go visit for a couple of days when they were shooting just normal stuff. I did see the Room of Pain—I did go in there and check it out."
"She's amazing—so good," the proud mama gushed. "It's just so beautiful to see her doing this. She had her mom and her dad and her grandmother [Tippi Hedren] and she's just taken us all and thrown us away. She's like, ‘Here I am.'"
We'll really get to see Dakota unleash her Inner Goddess when Fifty Shades of Grey, the movie, hits theaters Feb. 13, 2015.
