Dakota Johnson reveals her Fifty Shades of Grey role means men are TERRIFIED of her
DAKOTA JOHNSON is currently living the single life but has admitted that she fears it could be because men are "terrified" of her following her role in the erotic Fifty Shades of Grey.
Dakota Johnson confessed she feels men are scared of her
The actress who portrayed the innocent and naive Anastasia Steele opposite Jamie Dornan in the popular film, feels men are too scared to approach her.
She explained: "I don't know why… I think I'm fairly approachable person.
"Some people think this is something I'm interested in, in my private life, which is not the case.
"I'm an actor, I pretend. But I guess it's something that happens with a lot of actors; people think that, in real life, they are like the characters they play."

She told The Mirror that as a result she can feel lonely, saying: "My life has changed dramatically.
"There are times that I feel lonely, but then I just watch movies and read books and I'm happy that I have the time to do those things. I cherish my solitude.
"Luckily I have such a distraction in my job, I don't think about men very often. All of my focus is on my job at the moment."

Dakota, who stars in new film How To Be Single, added she thinks it's important for women to enjoy single life.
She said: "It’s important for young women to know it’s OK to explore the world and yourself without the pressures of other people’s opinion on you.
"There’s less of a stigma on being single nowadays… women should love themselves and take care of their hearts and brains, and also not feel bad about going out and having a good time or experiencing different people.
