The Unexpected Reality Behind Hollywood's Steamiest Scenes

Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson, "Fifty Shades of Grey"

Jamie Dornan, a funny guy off camera and a heartthrob onscreen, did everything he could to make co-star Dakota Johnson laugh while filming their intimate scenes. The "Fifty Shades of Grey" franchise was known for its erotic bedroom moments, but the filming was actually very lighthearted and fun. "When there's a wider shot and we're going for it all in one piece, they'll play music over it, and it's always my temptation to make Dakota laugh," Dornan said. "So sometimes, I'll do things like—in a moment when I'm meant to orgasm—I'll instead go, 'Doo-doo-doodley-do!'"
