LOS ANGELES, Jan 5 — No matter what you thought about “Fifty Shades of Grey”, Dakota Johnson is standing by the movie.
Dakota, who graces the cover of the February 2016 issue of British Vogue, has no regrets about the movie saying: “I’m proud of Fifty Shades of Grey. I don’t need to distance myself from that. The more work I do, the more the general public sees the different things I can do. Do I think it opened doors? Yeah. More people know my name.”
The daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson also talks about the realities of fame. “This industry is f**king brutal,” the actress reveals in the magazine.
“No matter how tough you are, sometimes there’s the feeling of not being wanted. It’s absurd and cut-throat. Whenever I have downtime, I’m unsure that I will ever work again. I don’t know what it is, but it’s a definite thing that happens to me.”
Despite being the most hotly anticipated movie of 2015, the film failed to impress some critics as it was dubbed “painfully dull” and “tame”, but Dakota is not letting that get to her.
“In my real life, I don’t look pretty all the time. Nobody does. I love films that are honest... That’s the thing that turns me on.”
