You know that feeling when you get the secret behind a magic trick? Well, the same, but in a film version.
We knew that Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan had trained hard before going in front of the camera to simulate high-voltage s-x in the Fifty Shades series. But what happened when, already with the body they wanted to show achieved, they heard the cry of action? Well, something more typical of a funny Scary Movie type movie than of a saga that has awakened the libido of millions of people.
“The truth is that shooting those scenes was the opposite of glamour. Nothing s-xy”, confirms the protagonist of the film in a new interview. “Jamie had a little bag that covered her parts, and I had some kind of strapless thongs attached to mine. Not with glue, but with something sticky like what is used for nipple covers, but for the bottom part”.
Aware that her words can generate anguish in those who imagine poor Dakota removing that every day as if she were a band-aid, the actress explained that there was no risk of "involuntary hair removal" with this little trick.
“It was just sticky on the top, not the whole piece, although it did come off sometimes and the team had to use real glue to keep it from coming off. Once I even had to wear two of those thongs. It doesn't hurt, I mean basically it's like you're not wearing anything but you feel covered. It's a very strange feeling." ** Come on, more than a Band-Aid, those thongs were like a Post-it.**
As if that weren't enough, both Jamie and Dakota had to wait like that for hours to shoot the shots. ** “In s-x scenes you spend more time planning in advance how they are going to be shot, so you have to do it feeling totally vulnerable.** But when you shoot something that complicated you have to plan it in advance”.
Well, that, if you want to live an authentic _Fifty Shades experience in the privacy of your home with your partner, forget about handcuffs and get yourself a little stick of those famous self-adhesive yellow sheets that swarm all over the offices.
