Film and TV sex scenes always have their fair share of outrageous stories, and you might think that the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' trilogy, hot and heavy as it is, would have the steamiest stories. But you would be wrong.
In one of the sexiest trilogies to ever be popularized in mainstream media, it turns out the behind-the-scenes action was nowhere near as hot as it appeared on-screen.
During a recent interview with The Times, the 29-year-old actress opened up about her experience filming sex scenes with Jamie Dornan, shattering hundreds of people's fantasies in the process.
“Shooting two films back to back, where the majority is the same, over and over, did get a little bit tedious,” she said.
Dornan's fans would probably disagree with that sentiment, but there's definitely something very unappealing about faking it again and again in front of an audience while still trying to keep things interesting.
“It became, ‘how are we going to make this goddamn sex scene better than the other ones?’ There’s only so much you can do when the film is rated R,” Johnson continued. “It was tricky. But it was a challenge I’m not ashamed of and I’m infinitely grateful to… I learned so much about my personal resilience.”
Though many people would gladly trade their day job to roll around in bed, Johnson's struggle is appreciated.
