There is one thing that “fifty shades of Grey” star Dakota Johnson owed her co-star Jamie Dornan. This thing is very important for actors like them – support. Without Dornan’s support for her as an actress, she could have failed in the portrayal of her role.
Doing sexy scenes like the ones they did in the “Fifty Shades” franchise was very challenging. Aside from the fact that filming sex scenes takes hours of mind conditioning and physical preparation, the actual delivery of dialogues and the projection of the perfect facial expression are very tiring for an actor.
