Dakota Johnson: It's Ok To Feel Naughty

She talks romance and how to look good naked.

When Dakota Johnson moved into her 1947 bungalow last year, one of her first choices was to install a wall of white flowers. ‘I used to spend hours and hours Googling mid-century houses,’ she grins. ‘I get obsessed.’

While flower hedges are nice enough, Dakota admits their real purpose is to conceal her penchant for skinny-dipping. The cheeky addition is just one of many personal touches Dakota has added. Located above LA’s famous Chateau Marmont, it’s a home that screams Hollywood royalty, while being cosy at the same time. ‘I would rather be at home with my close friends or alone than be out in public. I cherish my solitude,’ she explains. ‘Fundamentally, I’m open and warm. At my core, I’m a bleeding heart. But when your life is exposed and when the movie that exposes your life is exposing your emotions and your body, it can be very scary.’
