Dakota Johnson Talks About Coping With Feeling 'Exposed' In 'Fifty Shades'
"Fundamentally, I'm open and warm. At my core, I'm a bleeding heart," she says. "But when your life is exposed and when the movie that exposes your life is exposing your emotions and your body, it can be very scary." "Throughout this entire experience, I've learned that I can expose my heart and my emotions and I can still protect myself," adds the 28-year-old. "I can still be vulnerable and strong. It's a constant ebb and flow and a battle and trying to figure out how to have those things coexist within me. That's what I'm grateful for." The daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson and co-star Jamie Dornan returns with the final installment in 'Fifty Shades Freed' on February 9. In the latest issue of Allure magazine, Dakota Johnson talks about feeling "exposed" in her breakout role as Anastasia Steele in the 'Fifty Shades' franchise.
