Splash NewsFeeling cheeky! Two days after it was announced that Dakota Johnson will play Anastasia Steele in the big screen adaptation of author E.L. James' Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy, the 23-year-old actress was photographed climbing out of a window while wearing polka dot underwear and a loose-fitting camisole on Wednesday, Sept. 4.
Johnson isn't going method for her role in Fifty Shades of Grey, however. Instead, she was hard at work on the set of Cymbeline in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn. A modern-day spin on William Shakespeare's play, Cymbeline also stars Ethan Hawke, Milla Jovovich, Penn Badgley and Ed Harris.
Though Johnson's participation in Fifty Shades of Grey has been met with mixed reactions (an online petition asks that she be replaced by Alexis Bledel), the former Ben & Kate star has at least one Hollywood heavyweight in her corner: her mom, Melanie Griffith!
"My beautiful child Dakota has been chosen to play Anna Steele in 50 Shades!!! Look out world!" Griffith, 56, tweeted on Monday, Sept. 2. "Here she comes!!! #proudmama."
