We finally have an official rating for "Fifty Shades of Grey" and we're sure fans of E.L. James' novels will be very satisfied. In the past, there were concerns that the movie would have to be watered-down a bit because of its sexual content but it looks like fans will get their wish.
On Wednesday (Jan. 7), the MPAA announced that the film will have an R-rating for "strong sexual content including dialogue, some unusual behavior and graphic nudity, and for language."
Now we all know that Dakota Johnson (Anastasia Steele) will be nude in the film, but what about Jamie Dornan (Christian Grey)? Unfortunately, he revealed there won't be any full frontal nudity for him but fans may get to glimpse some of his other assets.
"You want to appeal to as wide an audience as possible without grossing them out," Dornan previously told The Guardian. "You don't want to make something gratuitous, and ugly, and graphic. There were contracts in place that said that viewers wouldn't be seeing my... todger."
In a more recent interview Dornan told British GQ that it was a tad embarrassing having to film kinky sex scenes with Johnson because he had to hide his manhood.
"Your dignity is intact as much as it's all tucked away in a little flesh-colored bag," he said. "As a guy you put all your essentials in a little bag and you tie it up like a little bag of grapes and it's tucked away. It's quite a peculiar thing to do every day."
To help him prepare for the steamy scenes, the 32-year-old actor said that he actually visited a sex dungeon and witnessed first-hand a dominant having a little fun with a submissive.
"It was very playful and jovial and not at all dark and serious," he said. "There was a lot of laughter."
We doubt "Fifty Shades of Grey" is going to have a lot of laughter, especially when Anastasia enters the Red Room of Pain. The film is expected to hit theaters Feb. 13.
