Dakota Johnson needed therapy after filming Fifty Shades of Grey
Dakota Johnson has opened up about her experience filming Fifty Shades of Grey, and revealed that it left her so ‘fucked up’ she had to go to therapy.
The 28-year-old starred in the ‘mummy porn’ franchise as literature student, Anastasia Steele, who gets swept up in a BDSM-filled romance with Christian Grey.
However, once the actress finished filming the erotic trilogy and moved onto her new venture Suspiria, she revealed to Elle magazine that she had to get professional help.
She confessed: ‘No lie, [it] fucked me up so much that I had to go to therapy.’

Moving on from her past projects, Dakota now wants to start creating her own as she believes the films she wants to star in are nonexistent.
She said: ‘I’ve come to terms with the fact that the projects I want to work on don’t exist, so I’m going to have to create them for myself.
‘I feel incredibly grateful that I’m in a position to do that.’
Despite featuring in romances, psychodramas, adventure stories and comedies, she still believes ‘there are many more experiences to have.’
She said: ‘It’s really good to still be learning the thing I love.’
Keeping herself busy, Dakota has just arrived back in Los Angeles after she finished filming for Bad Times At The El Royale in Vancouver, Canada.
Here she features alongside a star-studded cast, including the likes of Jeff Bridges, Jon Hamm, Nick Offerman, Russell Crowe and Chris Hemsworth.
It has recently been rumoured that she’s called it off with Coldplay’s Chris Martin, after she was spotted with a new beau in Malibu.
