Dakota Johnson on Filming Intimate Scenes: 'Always Psyched'!
Dakota Johnson Spills Tea on Filming Sex Scenes and Her Sizzling Split from Chris Martin
The lovely Dakota Johnson has been dominating the headlines lately, but this time it's not just about her sizzling on-screen performances. The 35-year-old actress has opened up about filming those infamous steamy sex scenes in the Fifty Shades franchise, and trust us, you won't want to miss a single juicy detail.
In an intimate chat with Amy Poehler on her Good Hang podcast, Dakota dished out all the tea on what it's like to film sex scenes. And let's just say she's a total pro at making it look effortless. When asked how she gets pumped up for those intimate moments, Dakota replied with a cheeky grin, "I'm always psyched up for sex." Who wouldn't be?!
But things get even more interesting when Dakota talks about working with an intimacy coordinator for the first time on one of her recent projects. The concept was new to her, and she admitted that she was surprised by the suggestion of using a Pilates ball during amorous moments. "A Pilates ball between you guys for the thrusting movement?" she repeated, looking puzzled. "What?" However, it seems they didn't end up needing it after all.
Dakota also credits her mother, Melanie Griffith, with teaching her to be comfortable in her own skin – a lesson that has carried over into her acting career. "My mom raised me to be really proud of my body and love my body," she revealed. "So I've always felt so grateful for that, especially in my work, because I can use it and it feels like real."
And speaking of feeling real, Dakota's take on sex scenes is refreshingly honest. She broke down the process with Amy Poehler, explaining that a sex scene involves pretending to have sex while making sounds to simulate the experience – all without actually getting intimate. "It's not sexy, it doesn't feel good," she said candidly.
But what about when Dakota films those sex scenes on her own? Well, it turns out she's done just that before – sans partner and with plenty of solo action. "A lot of it is like... I'm only in the frame, so I'm just like, gyrating on my own and moaning," she revealed, chuckling.
As for her personal life, Dakota has been making headlines lately after splitting from Coldplay singer Chris Martin. According to The Scholarly Note, the couple had been together since 2017 and even got engaged at one point. However, it seems they've finally parted ways – with a source revealing that their breakup was "a long time coming" due to issues with maintaining a relationship while working apart.
But don't worry, Dakota fans; she's not alone. The actress is now back on the market and ready for her next adventure – whether romantic or professional. And judging by her recent projects, including her upcoming rom-com Maternalists, we can expect plenty more exciting news from this talented star.
In related news, Dakota has been spotted enjoying quality time with her friends and family after her split from Chris Martin. Sources close to the actress have revealed that she's devastated about not being able to spend as much time with his kids as before, but is committed to remaining a supportive partner in their lives.
As for whether there's any hope of a reconciliation between Dakota and Chris, insiders say it's unlikely – at least for now. "Being separated will do wonders if they were to have any type of future together," one insider revealed. And who knows? Maybe that future is just around the corner.
Stay tuned, folks; with Dakota Johnson on the scene, you can bet there will be plenty more juicy gossip and updates coming your way!
