Dakota Johnson has always hinted that her experience filming 50 Shades of Grey left much to be desired — and now, she’s finally opening up about it!
Nearly a decade after her career-making turn as Anastasia Steele, the actress got candid about what it took to make the hit franchise come to life, and admitted the shooting was way more exhausting than it needed to be.
Why? Well, apparently, author E.L. James was cracking the whip a bit too much. Johnson confessed to Vanity Fair: The 32-year-old explained that it “was always a battle” with James on set, like the author wanting Dakota’s character to say her inner monologue — which the actress said could be “incredibly cheesy” — out loud.
She added: Johnson said the film’s direction really changed after Charlie Hunnam decided to exit as Christian Grey, which allegedly spurred James to scrap Patrick Marber‘s script — and make the movie she wanted to make, much to the chagrin of everyone else, according to Dakota.
