The curtain has dropped on the Fifty Shades trilogy with the release of the final installment, Fifty Shades Freed.
As fans bid farewell to the series, the stars have opened up about the less glamorous aspects of filming the steamy s=x scenes that became iconic throughout the movies.
During a recent promotional tour for the film, Jamie Dornan, known for his role as Christian Grey, shared some intriguing revelations about what goes on behind the camera during these intimate moments.
Surprisingly, Dornan disclosed that he had to don a peculiar accessory known as a “p-nis bag,” a detail that certainly doesn't evoke the seductive image one might expect.
In a candid interview with Marie Claire, Dakota Johnson, who portrayed Anastasia Steele, offered her own insights into the challenges of shooting the provocative scenes.
To ensure everything stayed in place, Johnson revealed that she had to wear a strapless thong that was securely fastened to her body using superglue, a rather unconventional method that she described as “fucking bizarre.”
Delving further into the intricacies of filming, Johnson disclosed the presence of s=x advisers on set who were well-versed in the mechanics of intimacy and the utilization of various props.
These professionals provided crucial guidance on how to navigate the complexities of shooting such scenes authentically.
Interestingly, Johnson noted that while there were advisers available, Dornan primarily had an adviser present during the filming of the first movie, with less involvement in subsequent installments.
This disparity underscores the varying levels of support and preparation required by the actors to execute these challenging sequences convincingly.
Reflecting on the most difficult scene she encountered, Johnson recalled a particularly intense moment from the initial film set in the infamous red room.
Despite rigorous preparation, she acknowledged that the sensory deprivation experienced during filming made it impossible to predict her body's reflexive responses, highlighting the demanding nature of these performances.
In conclusion, the revelations shared by Johnson and Dornan offer a glimpse into the less glamorous realities of bringing the sensuality of the Fifty Shades series to life on screen.
Far from the polished finished product audiences witness, the process of filming intimate scenes involves meticulous preparation, unconventional methods, and a dedicated team behind the scenes ensuring the authenticity of each moment captured.
