The Fifty Shades of grey movies revolved around a college graduate and her erotic sexual adventures with a young billionaire. While Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan played the roles of the two lead actors, it was rumored that the romantic chemistry presented on-screen was the opposite of how things really were between them off-screen. However, Johnson has now provided some insight into the true nature of her behind-the-scenes relationship with Dornan.
It’s easy to imagine that portraying sexual chemistry with an actor can be challenging when the feelings aren’t there in real life. You’d think something like that would be even harder if the two artists didn’t really get along. However, Dakota Johnson revealed during her interview with Vanity Fairthat she and Jamie Dornan were very cool while making the Fifty Shades of grey movies:
There was never a time when we couldn’t get along. I know it’s weird, but he’s like a brother to me. I love him so, so, so much. And we were really there for each other. We had to really trust each other and protect each other.
This is certainly good to hear, as there have certainly been instances where protagonists in romantic films have not gotten along. For example, Ryan Gosling and his co-star Rachel McAdams weren’t Noah and Allie filming off-camera the notebookwhile Gosling even tried whither he Gosling tried to get McAdams fired on a certain moment. (Surprisingly, the two ended up dating in real life not long after that.)
While the Fifty Shades of grey leads may never have been a couple in real life, they still became a great team during the making of the movies. With regard to filming the provocative sex scenes, Cha Cha Really Smooth actress gave her male co-lead some advice the sexy way of taking off a woman’s underwear. She has also said in the past that she eI enjoyed working with Jamie Dornan (he chose him over Christian Grey’s character) and attributed their special relationship on screen to the trust they had in each other. The Belfast actor also has said nice things about Johnson, noting that her humorous personality would be great if the two ever hosted an erotic book club together. I’m sure they would have no problem finding members to join.
Although they are not currently working together, red carpet events have brought Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan together. The Irish Actor reflected on seeing the 32-year-old actress during premieres and said they were happy to be together again. He is proud of the work the two have done on their “crazy journey” together. Although Johnson and Dornan have moved from the jobs who have made their careers, it is refreshing to know that there is no tension between them and that they are still good friends to this day.
