Inside, the magazine gives the first glimpse of the highly-anticipated Fifty Shades of Grey movie, with the stars opening up about the project for the first time.
“There was a slight fear,” Dornan says about finding out he would replace Charlie Hunnam in the title role. “But beyond anything else, I was really f*cking excited.”
Of the graphic nudity the flick requires, the actor says, “I’m a fairly worldly guy. I grew up in a very liberal place. I’m not saying we had a playroom, but I’m not shocked by [the sex in the book].”

He says of the sex scenes, “It’s essential to tell the story… So it works for me.”
For her part, Johnson admits, “Obviously, I want to look good naked.”
“I totally understand now why people exercise,” she says, “because it kind of f*cking feels awesome.”
But fans will have to wait a little bit longer to see the steamy erotic novel come to life on the big screen.
The movie’s release has been pushed back by six months, moving from August 2014 to February 2015.
The bright side?
It’ll hit theaters just in time for Valentine’s Day.
