‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’ Whipping Scene: Dakota Johnson Had A Butt Double
She may be starring in a film heavily featuring BDSM, but Dakota herself is a huge baby when it comes to pain, which is why she opted out of partaking in the classic S&M punishment scene where Christian whips Anastasia’s butt with a belt.
“There was a close up of a bum getting hit with a belt. That was not my bum, because I didn’t want to get hit with a belt,” Dakota revealed to the Daily Star.
This comes as a surprise to us since she signed up for the kinky role of Ana to begin with, but we think it’s pretty cool she admitted to using a butt double in the erotic scene. Plus, it’s not like we’re missing out on seeing some serious skin from her during the flick — both on screen and off screen!
Dakota Johnson Reveals Favorite Sex Scene
There were a lot to pick from, but Dakota revealed that her favorite sex scene in the film is the one where Ana loses her virginity to Christian.
‘The virginity scene I think is something that is so beautiful,” Dakota said to Access Hollywood. “And the way that [cinematographer] Seamus [McGarvey] and [director] Sam [Taylor-Johnson] shot that scene – it’s really incredible.”
“And the colors!” she adds. “It’s so saturated and then, just watching a really profound moment in a young girl’s life. I think that was pretty special to do.”
