Rita Ora: "I Forgot My Lines in Fifty Shades of Grey!"
The singer was very nervous playing Mia Grey
Rita Ora has admitted she was so nervous on the set of Fifty Shades of Grey that she completely forgot her lines!
The singer, whose first acting role was in 2004 British drama Spivs, told Access Hollywood that momentum of the occasion playing Mia Grey left her a quivering wreck.
“I had to have someone in my ear on set telling me what to say before I said it,” she explained. “I was honestly like so nervous I forgot everything that I had learnt.”
Fortunately lead actress Dakota Johnson, who plays Christian Grey’s love interest Ana Steele, was at hand to calm Rita down.
“Dakota is a great friend of mine and she really eased me, and she was really nice to take care of me,” Rita added.
After the first teaser trailer premiered last week, Rita has assured fans of E.L.James’ 100million selling novel that the film is more than worth the wait.
“The movie is as visually close as it can be to the book,” Rita said. “I think the actors are phenomenal in this and I'm just kind of honoured to be on the same wavelength as them. This being my first movie, it's pretty awesome.”
