'Fifty Shades of Grey' Movie Cast News and Release Date: Rita Ora Talks 'Perfect' 50 Shades Role
It was a bit surprising when singer Rita Ora was cast in the "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie; the "R.I.P." singer does not have much acting experience. However, as it turns out, Ora does have experience in one important aspect of the movie -- kinky sex.
Last week, Ora went on New York radio station 105.1's morning show, "The Breakfast Club," where she explained why a role in the film about S&M-loving billionaire Christian Grey (played by Jamie Dornan) suits her.
"I mean, I like a whip, " Ora said. "This is why 'Fifty Shades' is perfect for me because I really love the book, but I like unexpected stuff. A tiny bit of [pain], not too much."
The 23-year-old British singer plays Mia Grey, Christian's sister. She will reportedly not be nude in the adaptation of E.L. James' erotic novel.
Now that filming for the movie is over, Ora said she is ready to take a vacation with her boyfriend, electronic DJ Calvin Harris.
"I think [he's] ready for us to go away together," Ora explained. "I haven't been away with him in a long time. I want to take my weave out, so it will be nice to spend some quality time."
Ora also dispelled rumors that she had a fling with Jay-Z once and for all.
"Don't you dare disrespect Beyonce like that ever again in your entire life," she said. "You should know better than that ... that's just straight up disrespect. You can't even go there."
In an interview with MTV last week, Ora revealed what it was like to work with Dakota Johnson, who plays the lead role of Anastasia Steele.
"Working with Dakota was extremely fun," Ora said. "She's just so gorgeous so it kind of distracts you a little bit, but I mean she's a really great great ... She's an amazing actress so I'm like learning things from her."
"Fifty Shades of Grey" premieres Feb. 13, 2015.
