“I don’t think anyone would’ve done it”: Dakota Johnson Claims $1.3B Fifty Shades Had “Psychotic” Filming Conditions That Nearly Drove Her Insane

Dakota Johnson, daughter of Hollywood stars Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, rose to fame with her role in the erotic drama Fifty Shades of Grey.

In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, seven years after the film’s release, Johnson opened up about the challenges she faced while filming the many graphic s** scenes with co-star Jamie Dornan.

Filming raw and graphic love scenes is one of the toughest things to conquer on a film set, and Dakota Johnson is no stranger to it.

The young star spoke candidly about the difficulties she endured on the set of Fifty Shades of Grey.

For starters, there was a constant battle between author E.L. James and the creative team regarding the way certain scenes should appear in the film.

This gave rise to many disagreements that led to Johnson’s character being reworked multiple times during filming.

“[Erika] [E.L. James] had a lot of creative control, all day, every day, and she just demanded that certain things happen.

There were parts of the books that just wouldn’t work in a movie, like the inner monologue, which was at times incredibly cheesy.”

Despite the numerous obstacles that Dakota Johnson faced while filming Fifty Shades of Grey, the actor looked back on her challenging experience with a lot of pride.

While there were issues involving E.L. James and her insistence to see her vision replicated in the film, Johnson spoke highly of the author and was thankful to the team behind the film for giving her the opportunity to shine.

Johnson also revealed that the working conditions on set were “psychotic” and nearly drove her insane.

However, the star did not have regrets after seeing the final cut and was honest in her opinion that no one other than her would have accepted the challenge to play the character of Anastasia Steele.

The Persuasion star, who called herself a s**ual person by nature, said that she was initially intrigued and excited to explore the different themes of love and lovemaking that author E.L James had crafted in the book.

Despite the challenges she faced, Johnson looked back on her experience with a lot of pride and was thankful for the opportunity to be part of such a successful film franchise.

Apart from the disagreements between E.L. James and the creative team, Dakota Johnson also faced difficulties while filming the many graphic s** scenes with co-star Jamie Dornan.

However, she did not let these challenges dampen her spirits and was proud of the final product.

“Jamie and I were treated really well.

Erika is a very nice woman, and she was always kind to me and I am grateful she wanted me to be in those movies.…It was great for our careers.

So amazing.

So lucky.”

Johnson’s performance in Fifty Shades of Grey was widely praised, despite the challenging filming conditions.

The film was a box office success, grossing over $1.3 billion worldwide, and catapulted Johnson into the limelight.

In conclusion, Dakota Johnson’s experience while filming Fifty Shades of Grey was far from easy.

The young star faced numerous challenges, including disagreements between E.L. James and the creative team, and difficult filming conditions.

However, Johnson persevered and delivered a stellar performance, which helped make the film a box office success.
