Fifty Shades of Grey Co-star, Victor Rasuk, talked recently with Watch Magazine about Dakota and her role as Anastasia Steele in the upcoming bestsellet movie. Check out what he said about the movie :)

Watch!: Let’s talk Fifty Shades. What can you say without being assassinated by the producers?
Rasuk: I’ve been sworn to secrecy but I will say this: I was really happy when the teaser trailer came out, because when I first got the role and started working with Dakota Johnson, there were a lot of haters about her being cast as Anastasia. As soon as she started reading and we started working together, I was already saying to my friends, “Dude, she’s a fantastic Anastasia.” And then the teaser came out and everyone was like, “She’s a great Anastasia!” I was like, “I told you!”

Watch!: How was Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey?
Rasuk: Great. It’s funny—there’s a scene in the teaser when he pushes me, and I remember in the first few takes he was pushing me lightly. And he was like, “Hey man, can I really push you on this one?” And I was like, “Dude, of course! I’ve been working out the last couple of months!” And he pushed me so hard that I almost tumbled and fell on my ass. It was the first day of shooting and I thought I was going to be recast because I had a broken hipbone. But it was fun. I think people are really going to enjoy Jamie and Dakota’s chemistry.

About his role in the Movie:
Watch!: What did your friends say when you got the part of Jose?
Rasuk: It was such a huge deal when anyone got cast, so I think everybody was more shocked that I was on every media outlet when it was announced. A lot of women in my family had read the book and it was a huge relief that everybody knew I wasn’t going to get naked in the movie, because that would have been really awkward.
Watch!: You didn’t have to strip down?
Rasuk: No, because in the book, Jose doesn’t get naked, or show any sort of, you know … [Laughs.]
Watch!: Did you offer?
Rasuk: I did not, no! It was one of those things where I’m not going to change anything, I’m just happy to be a part of it. But if that’s one of the things, then I’ll do that!
Watch!: What did you think of the book?
Rasuk: I know a lot of critics think it’s mediocre and high schoolish, but I actually really enjoyed it. I like that you go through her journey of every moment that goes by. It’s a coming-of-age story, you know? I’ve always been attracted to those.
Watch!: Did you ever worry the film might become another Showgirls?
Rasuk: No. I think the movie is exactly what everyone is expecting from the book. They expect to see the book and I think they did it—but in a very tasteful way. But also you have to remember, no one’s seen the movie! So I can’t tell you yet.
Watch!: Has doing this movie brought a lot of tabloid glare?
Rasuk: When it was first announced, there were definitely some media outlets that were saying, “Oh, did you know that new star from Fifty Shades has dated X, Y and Z?” But I don’t have any paparazzi following me. I try to keep my life really private in that sense. I don’t really go out or anything like that.
