“Dakota Johnson had some sort of patch on her pubic area, and all around her body. We were in the strange situation of having to add pubic hair in post-production. I wouldn’t say it was one of the highlights of my career, but it was definitely one of the most surreal stories.”.

Surrealist story number 2″, laughs McGarvey. The latter specifies that several repetitions of the sex scenes of Fifty Shades of grey took place, just to put the actors at ease.
