Dakota Johnson has bared all (both physically and emotionally) for her role as Anastasia Steele in the Fifty Shades of Grey series. So what's that like, specifically with costar Jamie Dornan around in a big way for all of her nude scenes (opens in new tab)? She just opened up about it for the February issue of Vogue (opens in new tab).

"Nudity is really interesting for an actor," she told Vogue. "Jamie and I worked so incredibly closely for so long. There were no inhibitions, and it was very honest, very trusting. But I mean, what a gamble! What if he had turned out to be a total dick?"

What if indeed. And, on that note, Johnson also playfully, kind of, sort of addressed the rumors about her and her costar. At one end of the spectrum, there's talk that they can't stand each other and, on the other, that they're romantically involved. Her take?

"We hate each other and we're having an affair, so everybody's right. How about that?"

Well, there you have it.
