“I knew for a while they were making the movie, I didn’t immediately think, ‘Oh yeah, that’s… that’s me. I’m the guy.’ I was told to make an audition tape. Then had to fly to LA to test,” he said in the featurette.

Dakota Johnson explained that when Jamie took over the role, he breathed new life into the project.

“Jamie came in and was cracking jokes the whole time and was trying to like out-joke me. He made it light and that was so different from what other people were doing. It was really awesome, it was really refreshing. And then like it was such a whirlwind after he came in, everyone was kind of like flipping out, rushing around and like lots of phone calls, ’cause it was such a big moment,” she said.

The actor said brining humor to the highly anticipated project was vital.

“We make each other laugh, which I think it really important,” Jamie said of Dakota. “Because there is heightened awareness nearly a 100 million people have read the book that you’re trying to portray. We’ve obviously got that in back your mind and you want to appease those people. But essentially, above everything else, you want to make a good film.”
As for the book and film’s success, Dakota credits the enudring love between Christian and Anastasia.

“It’s this sort of this really and weirdly magical love story. These two people meet each other and they both happen to be each other Achilles’ heel. I think that resonates with people, you want to believe that is possible,” she explained. “You want to believe that two people could fall so madly in love with each other and start to change for each other. You want to believe that that can happen, that that’s like humanly possible.”
