Fifty Shades Darker: Dakota Johnson has the perfect response to nudity complaints
FIFTY SHADES DARKER and its prequel Fifty Shades Of Grey are notoriously and unapologetically about sex - but it’s still surprising how many viewers take issue with its steamy content.

Specifically, it seems the nudity in the 2015 film rubbed people up the wrong way, so to speak - but lead actress Dakota Johnson has issued a very reasonable response.
"Let's be honest about it. People are naked when they f**k,” she told Vogue matter-of-factly.
Her chemistry with co-star Jamie Dornan was put under the microscope when the first film adaptation of EL James’ novels was released, but now the 27-year-old speaks very highly of The Fall actor.
"Nudity is really interesting for an actor. Jamie and I worked so incredibly closely for so long,” she recalled.

“There were no inhibitions, and it was very honest, very trusting.
"But I mean, what a gamble! What if he had turned out to be a total d**k?”
She added: “There's no make-up. There are no clothes to tell you a bit about the story. There's no jewellery to give you a clue about social status.
“So it becomes purely about the performance."
