Starring Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele and Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey, the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy is arguably the most successful erotic franchise in history, thanks to their unfiltered nudity and BDSM themes. While some praised the movies for pushing boundaries, others were in awe of Johnson’s on-screen nudity, which became a hot topic of discussion. However, fans expecting to see the actress fully exposed throughout the film were in for a surprise — especially regarding her naked butt.
Johnson later clarified that while most of the nudity in Fifty Shades of Grey was her flesh — particularly during full-frontal and topless shots — there was one exception. The then 25-year-old admitted that a butt double was used for a scene where she gets spanked. The actress explained, “There was a close-up of a bum getting hit with a belt. That was not my bum because I didn’t want to get hit with a belt.” Johnson’s secretive tattoo on her buttocks didn’t align with Anastasia’s character either.
Given that she was portrayed as a virgin, the crew agreed her character wouldn’t have a naughty tattoo on her rear end. As a result, they hired a butt double whose curves closely matched Johnson’s butt but lacked any ink. However, it wasn’t merely the Madame Web actress’s bare butt but also her front that posed challenges. Johnson had a patch that went over her pubic area and right around her whole body, which was edited by attaching pubic hairs during post-production.
