You'd think starring in possibly the sexiest film series to hit our screens since, like EVERRR, would mean it's pretty much in the job description to talk about S-E-X.
Well, it turns out that's not that case for Jamie Dornan, Dakota Johnson et al, as they've been warned by Fifty Shades Darker movie bosses not to be too explicit in their film promotional interviews.
Apparently execs at Universal Pictures have banned the actors from making overtly sexual references in the run up to the film's release as they want the audience to focus on the love story aspect between Christian Grey and Anna Steele, rather than the ridiculously raunchy bedroom antics. Bit of a tough sell if you ask us.
According to The Sun's Bizarre column, this came to light when actress Marcia Gay Harden – who plays Christian's mum in the film – revealed she got herself into a bit of trouble after tweeting about sex toys.
Speaking in an interview she explained: "We can’t talk too much about nipple clamps."
Ummm, where's the fun in that?
"I used to send out some naughty little tweets, along the lines of this ‘sweater clasp’ and I was told by Universal that I couldn’t do it anymore, but I’ll tell you one anyway.
"I sent out a picture of a sex toy and I was like, ‘Dear Christian, thank you so much for that lovely bracelet under the Christmas tree. Perhaps it wasn’t meant for me. Oh well, so pretty.’
"And all the fans would write back, ‘No that wasn’t for you Mama Grey, oh no.’ That was a lot of fun but it was shut down.
"It is a love story after all — I don’t think they want us being too overtly sexual in interviews."
Oh well, we don't have too long to wait until the film hits the cinemas and we get our fix of all kinds of nawtiness, but until then check out the latest steamy AF trailer:
