Dakota appeared in the Vanities opener for Vanity Fair Magazine. The brunette bombshell, who will be featured in the March 2014 issue of the magazine, gives a prim and proper look for the shoot, hinting that she’s channeling her inner Anastasia Steele, pre-Christian Grey.
“A lot of getting into the character’s head, in Ana’s headspace before she meets Christian, so it’s a lot of reading, which I love,” Johnson told the mag on preparing for the anticipated film. “She’s an English major, so that’s kinda boring.”
Regardless, Dakota says shooting the film with Jamie Dornan and the rest of the cast and crew has been very positive. “It’s been a very smooth and fun and creative experience. I think going into something like this, you kind of have fears of what it could be like and none of those fears are happening. We all get along really well and the crew’s amazing. We’re just all trying to make this project the best it can be.”
And fans are excitedly counting down the days until E L James’ erotica adaptation hits the big screen (Feb. 13, 2015, in case you forgot). Johnson joked about the fan base, saying, “I wonder if it will be, like, 40-year-old moms, which I am cool with. I love moms.”
We have added x screencaps from this video, plus the Vanities scan itself to the galleries … enjoy.

Dakota Johnson will be portraying the famous Anastasia Steele from E L James’ erotica Fifty Shades of Grey on the big screen come Feb. 13, 2015, but the star has no problem turning her sexy on.
Such is the case when it came to her cover shoot and spread in Elle magazine’s March issue. Dakota put on her seduction hat by smizing at the camera while strutting thigh-highs and flashing her bra for the photo shoot.
But more than just looking the part, the 24-year-old told the mag, “I don’t have any problem doing anything. The secret is I have no shame.”
When asked what intrigued her about the fanfiction trilogy, Johnson said, “Reading the book, I found myself more interested in the ways they were breaking each other down emotionally than the sex scenes. I think there’s a part of a woman that wants to be the thing that breaks a man down.”
“At Elle, we love to feature women who are taking risks and putting themselves out there,” said Robbie Myers, the magazine’s Editor-in-Chief. “Dakota was really open and candid in her interview and has a great mix of confidence, humility and humor.”
The issue hits national newsstands on Feb.18.

While its been described by some as “mummy porn” Fifty Shades of Grey actress Dakota Johnson has gone on to describe the EL James erotic novel as “an incredible love story.”
Dakota has been cast as Anastasia Steele in the screen adaptation of the novel, opposite Jamie Dornan who has replaced Charlie Hunnam for the role of Christian Grey.
The actress spoke about why she was so eager to land the role to Entertainment Weekly and said that she was in love with the story!
“I just really understand it,” Johnson said of the book. “I think it’s an incredible love story and that’s why it’s affected so many people.”
She then added: “[EL James] did a really good job of explaining how that just can happen sometimes and you have this chemical pull to someone.
“Adding in the sex makes it perfect. Sometimes you feel a little bit naughty and that’s okay.”
Following a lengthy audition process, Johnson also spoke about how blissfully happy she was when she got the call to tell her that she had landed the role.
“[When I got the call and] they said ‘You got the offer’ and I couldn’t speak,” she recalled. “I was just so relieved. I was crying and crying. Water was literally squirting out of my eyes because I had been so stressed out.
“And there’s this giant Doberman Pincher laying on the bed next to me. And he just slowly fell asleep. It was so special and [this dog] didn’t give a f**k about me and what I was going through,” she laughed.
Recent reports are also claiming that an explicit version of the movie could be released alongside the R-rated cut, which is slated for release on Valentine’s Day weekend in 2015.

Some fans are still in doubts that Dakota Johnson would be able to pull off the innocent yet sexy role of Anastasia Steele for “Fifty Shades of Grey.” Well, the only way to convince fans is for Dakota to just bring it to the big screen once the film debuts. However, one director claims Dakota Johnson had already been “extremely sexual” in her countless roles.
E.L. James might have disappointed a handful of fans by casting Dakota Johnson and Charlie Hunnam for the film adaptation of her best-selling erotica novel. Critiques claim both Dakota and Charlie don’t have the right looks and acting chops for the part of Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey. Still, executive producers aren’t ones to be swayed by online petitions and fan hate, and the same goes for the lead stars.
If anything, Dakota and Charlie have all the experiences needed for the erotica film. Hunnam stated himself that he has no problems baring it all for the film, given he’s been doing so since the age of 16.
“You know what, I had such a baptism of fire with regards to sexuality on camera at the beginning of my career,” said Hunnam to the AP during the promotion of “Sons of Anarchy.”
“I starred in the British Channel Four miniseries Queer as Folk, where I played a young, gay character, and there were some incredible, explicit sex scenes on that show. …Now I am 16 years older and more mature so I don’t anticipate them being too much of a problem. It’s like anything else, just an exciting challenge,” continued Hunnam.
Also, Hunnam isn’t the only star who had been exposed to such roles. One director who had long been working with Dakota claimed she, too, has had her share of sexy scenes and sensual roles. In an interview with the NY Post, the Hollywood director claims Johnson’s prominent roles have been “extremely sexual.”
“It’ll be challenging to make Dakota believable as an innocent when it comes to sex and men. All of Dakota’s prominent roles to date have been extremely sexual. She’s even played the mom of a 6-year-old! So I’m a bit dubious as to whether she’s really right for this role,” stated the Hollywood director. “But, I also think she’s been surprising everyone with her work so far. There’s always a great amount of skepticism about a model-turned-actor – especially one with famous parents – but I think she’s proven herself to have more skill and depth than was expected of her, and she’s definitely been choosing smart projects to build a possibly long-lasting career,” added the director.
