The sexually adventurous character of Anastacia Steele made Dakota Johnson to explore beyond the usual sexual knowledge and encounter. With her background research for the "Fifty Shades of Grey," "Fifty Shades Darker," and the upcoming "Fifty Shades Freed," Johnson learned BDSM and use of sex toys due to the steamy movie scenes, Express reports.
Despite her parents' opposition, Dakota Johnson took the role, as she is adamant of the decision. She also said that both her parents haven't seen her movies including "Fifty Shades Darker," because it's "inappropriate." However, it doesn't mean that she has a bad relationship with her parents. On an exclusive interview with News.com.au, she said "They don't judge me on what projects I decide to do. They judge me on what kind of human I am to other humans."
