“Fifty Shades of Grey” star Dakota Johnson appeared on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on Friday and talked about the impact the R-rated erotic drama has had on her life.
“Sometimes people just say things that are a little bit awkward for me,” Johnson said. “Like I was in a cab recently and the driver said, ‘You know my wife and I saw your film…I thought there could be more sex.’”
Johnson also said no one from her family has seen the film. “Would that be weird if they saw you doing that?” DeGeneres asked. “Well, yeah,” Johnson replied, referring to the film’s BDSM-heavy storyline.
Johnson also described her role as the girlfriend of James “Whitey” Bulger in the new film “Black Mass” alongside Johnny Depp, which is being hailed as a significant return to form for the actor.
Then, in preparation for Johnson’s role in the sequel “Fifty Shades Darker,” DeGeneres presented her with a few gifts. They included a flogger, a riding crop, some handcuffs, and a blanket to wear in between nude scenes.
