Question: But who would you choose, if you could, between Christian Gray and Jamie Dornan? Yes, really them: the character and his film interpreter in the Fifty Shades saga… Grey, black and red.
The lucky one who can best answer is Dakota Johnson. In fact, it was she who was asked the question…
Fifty Shades: Dakota's Choice
Dakota Johnson, daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson (and niece of Hitchcockian muse Tippi Hedren) is now Chris Martin's girlfriend. She star recognized thanks to Suspiria, A Bigger Splash, Single but not too much.
The truth is that everything is due to the fifty shades of grey, black and red… The three highest-grossing films, released between 2015 and 2021-2022. More than a billion and 300 million dollars raised in the world.
Two years after the end of the scandalous saga of soft porn, during the promotion of her new movie The High Note, the actress was asked: But would you go to an erotic book club with Jamie Dornan or Mr Gray?
His response from her? Apparently, and in all honesty, it was Jamie Dornan. His partner. The one of meat and bone. He is not the character invented by the pen of E.L. James in the three books that, in total, have sold 125 million copies...
The motivation? "He's so much funnier than Christian Grey," Dakota said without thinking too much. In short, shuffling the cards, Anastasia chose Jamie, referring to the protagonist of the saga...
Fifty Shades: Dakota and Jamie, between love and hate
With a single response, Dakota also erased all the rumors that, at the time, said that the two hated each other … “They say that we can't stand each other but also that there is a history between us. Well, they are both right. What should I add? ", she said in an interview with Vogue USA...
Jamie, for her part, explained that “we are like brother and sister. I'm married and she had boyfriends while we were shooting. We respect each other. Of course I cannot deny that we have learned to know each other, shall we say, very intim-tely…».
Both, at that time, were semi-unknown. Dakota, daughter of Melanie Griffith and raised with Antonio Banderas, had debuted with her mother in Pazzi in Alabama. Directed by Banderas.
The role of Anastasia, she won by knocking out Kristen Stewart, Elizabeth Olsen, Shailene Woodley, Felicity Jones. And Emilia Clarke, the rival who, like her, went to an audition with the director of the first film Sam Taylor-Johnson. She refused n-de scenes…
Jamie Dornan was instead a model, famous for the Calvin Klein underwear campaign. His name came after Ryan Gosling, Garrett Hedlund, Theo James and Robert Pattinson said no. Charlie Hunnam, chosen by the author herself, gave up a few days before shooting. After Clint's son Scott Eastwood also refused full frontal n-de scenes, the choice fell on Jamie...
Who knows if Jamie would also choose Dakota over Anastasia...
