Despite the fact that Christian Grey (Dornan) and Anastasia Steele (Johnson) have intense sexual chemistry on-screen, their real-life relationship is quite the opposite.
"This is going to sound bad, but it's almost like brother, sister," Dornan, 35, told ET.
"Because I am married, and she's had a lot of relationships in the time that we've known each other. You just have this sort of mutual love and respect for each other, and I feel like we know each other so well, and intimately."
