I wasn’t going to cover this, but… after watching Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan’s first joint-interview on yesterday’s Today Show, I just couldn’t help myself. Jamie and Dakota agreed to the Today interview to do some early promotion for Fifty Shades of Grey and to debut the “too hot for morning TV” trailer. I discussed the trailer yesterday – I went in with low expectations and I really enjoyed it. I now think Fifty Shades will be a fun movie to hate-watch. But the point of this interview is simply to point out how f—king awkward Jamie and Dakota are together. If I’m being nice, I’ll say that maybe they were jet-lagged and maybe they weren’t ready to promote this thing quite yet. I’ll also say that Samantha Guthrie was so awful here.

Right? Ever since I watched The Fall, I’m a Jamie Dornan fan-girl, so keep that in mind when I say that he was game for some fun, he was ready to play around but Dakota was just “like, um” sitting “um, like” there, “I mean, like” a bump on a log. Dakota is the charisma vacuum. Not Jamie. And Dakota couldn’t even scrounge up some interesting soundbyte or a compliment to Jamie either – she called the sex scenes a “task”. Ugh. The promotional tour next year is going to be tedious with Dakota. I suspect I’ll enjoy Jamie’s half though.

Also – Jamie is so HOT with that beard. And that accent. I’m all about the Dornan.
