Dakota Johnson found shooting s** scenes with Jamie Dornan ‘pretty tedious’

Dakota Johnson has said that she finds s** scenes with Jamie Dornan “pretty tedious.”

During the filming of Fifty Shades Of Grey, the actors who play Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele execute several explicit sequences.

In an interview with rock veteran Chrissie Hynde for Interview Magazine, the 26-year-old spoke openly about what it’s like to film the intimate sequences.

She told the publication: “I’m filming the next two instalments of the Fifty Shades movies back-to-back. I’m doing one [of the s-x scenes] today. It’s not … comfortable. It’s pretty tedious.

“We’re not having actual s**. But I’ve been simulating s** for seven hours straight right now, and I’m over it.”

She will not allow her parents to watch the dirty S&M-inspired films.

Dakota was shocked when Chrissie questioned if the star’s father Don – or as the rocker refers to him, “your good-looking dad” – saw the scenes or came to set.

‘No! God, no. Thank God.’

She bemoans the sadomasochistic role she played in Fifty Shades of Grey, claiming that it scared men away, since no one wanted to ask her out.

“Some people think this is something I’m interested in in my private life, which is not the case. I’m an actor, I pretend,” she said. “But I guess it’s something that happens with a lot of actors; people think that, in real life, they are like the characters they play.

“My life has changed dramatically. There are times that I feel lonely, but then I just watch movies and read books and I’m happy that I have the time to do those things. I cherish my solitude. Luckily I have such a distraction in my job, I don’t think about men very often. All of my focus is on my job at the moment.”

While the How To Be Single star may have become used to the films that put her on Hollywood’s radar for more than simply who her parents are, Dakota is not numb to the fact that fame can be ephemeral these days.

‘It is a bizarre time right now, though,’ the 26-year-old remarked. “It seems like the world is so fast to move its interest to someone else.

‘When I think about filmmakers and actresses that I have admired my whole life, I’ve admired their entire body of work. I have admired what they began with and what they’re doing now.

‘And now I feel like there’s such a weird pressure to find the new face. I don’t get it at all. I want to see women evolve. I want to see a body of work. I want to see all of it.’
