When it comes to movie-making magic, props play an important role in setting the stage for the action, and stars have recognized their value.

While some have kept props as souvenirs to remind them of their time on the set, others have stolen them.

Chris Pratt took his character’s red jacket from Guardians of the Galaxy, while Maisie Williams snagged some “faceless man” coins from the Game of Thrones set.

Dakota Johnson, who rose to fame as Anastasia Steele in the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy, also couldn’t resist taking home some souvenirs.

The most alluring props were a little risqué – underwear and a flogger.

Johnson has admitted to taking them home to remind her of her time in the steamy flick.

Acting is in Dakota Johnson’s blood.

As the daughter of Melanie Griffith, an actor still active in the industry, Johnson’s first film was alongside her own mother in Crazy in Alabama, a 1999 film where she and her half-sister played the daughters of their real-life mother.

After a decade-long hiatus, she returned to acting and quickly proved herself to be a rising star with roles in The Social Network, The Five-Year Engagement, Need for Speed, and Cymbeline.

In 2015, Johnson took on the role of Anastasia Steele, the lead in Fifty Shades of Grey, a s**y S&M tale that grew out of fan fiction for the Twilight series.

She starred in the role alongside Jamie Dornan who played the film’s troubled billionaire, Christian Grey.

Despite the book’s consistent hit status over the past decade, taking on the controversial role was a big risk for Johnson.

In fact, making the film was “the biggest sacrifice she’d ever made,” and she admitted that the steamy s** scenes were often cringe-worthy.

The Fifty Shades trilogy has defined Johnson’s career, and she reprised her role as Anastasia in both Fifty Shades Darker (2017) and Fifty Shades Freed (2018).

However, Johnson also has a racy side that has kept fans talking.

When an old interview resurfaced and featured Johnson coyly talking about her potential bisexuality, fans swooned.

When asked whether she took any of the wardrobe home from the Fifty Shades set, Johnson admitted to stealing lots of underwear because “they were comfortable.”

She also snagged a flogger, which she says isn’t getting much use and is currently sitting in her garage covered in dust.

For those interested in exploring Dakota Johnson’s career beyond Fifty Shades, here are seven must-see films: Crazy in Alabama (1999), The Social Network (2010), 21 Jump Street (2012), Need for Speed (2014), How to Be Single (2016), Suspiria (2018), and The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019).
