While the actress doesn't regret her involvement in the films, she admitted being on set was 'tricky.'
. But there was a time, at the beginning of the actress’ career, when much of the public recognized her simply as “that girl in themovies.” Johnson is aware of what the sexed-up films did for her now flourishing career, a feeling that is clearly at odds with her distaste for much of how the production of the films went down. Now, over four years after the third film was released, Johnson is finally speaking out about her experience working on the erotic novel adaptions.
For that, Johnson blames both the studio and the directors, as well as E.L. James who wrote the books and had a big voice on set. “She had a lot of creative control, all day, every day, and she just demanded that certain things happen,” Johnson said. “There were parts of the books that just wouldn’t work in a movie, like the inner monologue, which was at times incredibly cheesy. It wouldn’t work to say out loud.
Despite all that, Johnson doesn’t regret her involvement in the trilogy. “I’m proud of what we made ultimately and everything turns out the way it’s supposed to, but it was tricky,” she said. Still, she says if she’d known “what it was going to be like” she probably wouldn’t have signed on. “It would’ve been like, ‘Oh, this is psychotic.’ But no, I don’t regret it.” Much of that likely comes from the inarguable boost the films gave her, and she recognizes that fact.
