Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal Absolutely Lose It Over Her Surprising ‘Fifty Shades of Grey' Injury
The duo is all laughs throughout the chat, but the hysterics truly broke out when Johnson asked the question 'Have you ever had any accidents while filming?'
'Yes, I have. I've gotten hurt for real,' Pascal answered, leading Johnson to share her own story: 'I got whiplash from 'Fifty Shades,'' the actress replied through giggles, leading them both to absolutely lose it, dissolving into a fit of silent laughter, while Pascal got up from his chair to take a beat and compose himself.
If you're wondering how Johnson sustained such an injury, it was from being thrown down on the bed a few too many times. For the unfamiliar, the steamy 'Fifty Shades' series starred Johnson as Anastasia Steele, a college student who falls for the handsome, ultra-rich Christian Grey (played by Jamie Dornan) — who also has some particular proclivities he introduces her to in his Red Room of Pain.
But the pain got a little too real for Johnson. 'Jamie (Dornan) was throwing me on a bed,' she told Yahoo Movies UK about the incident back in 2015. 'We did 17 takes so my head just snapped back all day and when I woke up I couldn't move my neck. Which was really terrible.'
At least the injury led to some hysterics among friends, 10 years later. 'That's my favorite thing,' Pascal replied to her behind-the-scenes tale, red-faced from cracking up. 'It's all meaningless after that.'

From the Archives: Vogue Revisits Jackie Kennedy's Literary Legacy as Doubleday Book Editor
'The First Lady of Letters,' by Darcey Steinke, was originally published in the February 2005 issue of Vogue. For more of the best from Vogue's archive, sign up for our Nostalgia newsletter here. 'Remember, just like you, Jackie Onassis puts her pants on one leg at a time,' my father reminded me as he helped me into the cab that ferried me up to the Doubleday offices in midtown Manhattan where Jackie was an editor. It was 1987, and I was 25 years old and still in graduate school at the University of Virginia. Dad's advice was meant to bolster my confidence, but it didn't really calm me as I sat under the harsh fluorescent light in Doubleday's waiting room. 'The wrrrrrriter!' Jackie said enthusiastically as she came through the door and took both my hands in hers. In person the tremendous symmetry of her face was startling; her cheekbones protruded, and her eyes were far apart. Jackie's dark hair was pulled back in a low ponytail held with a tortoiseshell clip. There was a skeletal elegance about her; she wore blue slacks, a tailored white shirt, and patent leather pumps. Her office was smaller and shabbier then I'd imagined, her metal desk piled high with white manuscript pages; she was in the process of collaborating on Joseph Campbell's The Power of Myth. She asked me about my trip. I said the flight from Charlottesville had been bumpy and I didn't really like to fly. The corners of her mouth turned down, and she leaned forward. Unlike my mother, or any other older lady I knew, Jackie wasn't cautious or fearful. She thought you should try everything. 'Oh, Darcey,' she said in her lilting voice, which was famously feathery and very feminine, 'can't you have a little white wine on the plane? If you don't fly, you'll miss out on so much.' My cheeks flushed: I said I would try. I felt an odd intimacy with Jackie. She had become my editor after my writing teacher George Garrett, himself a Doubleday author, suggested I send her my first novel. Though we'd never met before and talked on the phone only once, I knew the outer structure of Jackie's life, and I wondered if she didn't feel exposed. Everyone who met her had seen footage of her in Dallas in the rawest moment of her life. We talked about my novel. Like many a young writer, Jackie said, I digressed too often. Flashbacks appeared on almost every page, and I used metaphors like drinking water. Up Through the Water takes place over a single summer on Ocracoke Island, on North Carolina's Outer Banks. I had waitressed there summers while I was in college, so I knew the general rhythms of a beach resort, but I didn't know much about narrative structure or motivation. Jackie was most interested in my character Emily, a promiscuous 35-year-old prep cook. 'She is an undine, who swims with the fish and sleeps with any sailor,' Jackie said. 'How will she deal with aging? Will she be able to be faithful to her boyfriend?' At 25, I'd never thought of promiscuity or taking one's youth for granted as something that might have tragic repercussions. As I listened to her I thought, How can the most elegant woman in America identify with a profligate prep cook? But Jackie found Emily mesmerizing. 'What is wrenching about her is that one of her loveliest facets, her animal nature, carries with it her doom.'

Does this look like a real woman? AI Vogue model raises concerns about beauty standards
There's a new supermodel in town. She's striking, stylish... and not real. In August's print edition of Vogue, a Guess advert features a flawless blonde model showing off a striped maxi dress and a floral playsuit from the brand's summer collection. In small print in one corner, the ad reveals that she was created using AI. While Vogue says the AI model was not an editorial decision, it is the first time an AI-generated person has featured in the magazine. The advert has been met with controversy and raises questions about what this means for real models who have fought for greater diversity, and for consumers - particularly young people - already struggling with unrealistic beauty standards. Seraphinne Vallora is the company behind Guess's controversial advert. Its founders, Valentina Gonzalez and Andreea Petrescu, tell the BBC they were approached by Guess's co-founder, Paul Marciano, on Instagram and were asked to create an AI model as part of the brand's summer campaign. "We created 10 draft models for him and he selected one brunette woman and one blonde that we went ahead and developed further," Gonzalez says. She explains there's often a misconception that AI image generation is simple, saying it is actually a complex process. The company has five employees who create AI models, and it can take up to a month from idea inception to the completed product. The pair say they charge anywhere up to low six figures for a client like Guess. 'Disheartening' But Felicity Hayward, a plus-size model who has been in the industry for more than a decade, says using AI models in fashion campaigns "feels lazy and cheap". "Either Guess is doing this to create a talking point and get free publicity or they want to cut costs and don't think about the implications of that." She describes Vogue's decision to include the advert as "very disheartening and quite scary", and worries it could undermine years of work towards more diversity in the industry. The fashion world was making real progress to be more inclusive in the 2010s - the decade saw Valentina Sampaio become the first openly trans model to walk for Victoria's Secret, Halima Aden was the first hijab-wearing model in global campaigns, and brands like Savage x Fenty featured plus-size models on the runway. But in recent years, Hayward believes, the industry has slipped backwards because "these people are just not getting booked any more". And the use of AI models is "another kick in the teeth, and one that will disproportionately affect plus-size models", she warns. Gonzalez and Petrescu are adamant they don't reinforce narrow beauty standards. "We don't create unattainable looks - actually the AI model for Guess looks quite realistic," Petrescu says. "Ultimately, all adverts are created to look perfect and usually have supermodels in, so what we are doing is no different." The pair admit the AI images on their company's Instagram page are lacking in diversity and promote unrealistic beauty standards. They say they have tried to be more inclusive, but it's the users who don't engage much with those posts. "We've posted AI images of women with different skin tones, but people do not respond to them - we don't get any traction or likes," Gonzalez tells the BBC. "At the end of the day, we are a business and use images on Instagram that will create a conversation and bring us clients." The company is yet to experiment with creating plus-size women, claiming "the technology is not advanced enough for that". An ad campaign by Dove in 2024 was designed to highlight the biases in AI. In the advert, an image generator is asked to create the most beautiful woman in the world and produces virtually indistinguishable women who are young, thin and white, with blonde hair and blue eyes. The images generated look similar to the Guess AI model. Hayward worries that seeing these unattainable images could have an impact on people's mental health and negatively affect their body image. Concern around unrealistic beauty standards and the damaging effects they can have is nothing new. But unlike traditional airbrushing, which at least began with a real person, these AI models are digitally created to look perfect, free from human flaws, inconsistencies or uniqueness. While some high-profile figures such as Ashley Graham, Jameela Jamil and Bella Thorne have spoken out against image editing and refuse to have their pictures Photoshopped, the use of AI sidesteps such conversations entirely. Vogue's decision to include an AI-generated advert has caused a stir on social media, with one user on X writing: "Wow! As if the beauty expectations weren't unrealistic enough, here comes AI to make them impossible. Even models can't compete." Vanessa Longley, CEO of eating disorder charity Beat, tells the BBC the advert is "worrying". "If people are exposed to images of unrealistic bodies, it can affect their thoughts about their own body, and poor body image increases the risk of developing an eating disorder," she says. 'Exceptionally problematic' Adding to the issue is the lack of transparency - it is not a legal requirement to label AI-generated content in the UK. While Guess labelled its advert as AI-generated, the disclaimer is small and subtle. Readers may overlook it and, at a glance, the image appears entirely lifelike. Sinead Bovell, a former model and now tech entrepreneur, wrote an article for Vogue five years ago about the risks of AI replacing modelling. She tells the BBC that not labelling AI content clearly is "exceptionally problematic" because it could have a detrimental impact on people's mental health. "Beauty standards are already being influenced by AI. There are young girls getting plastic surgery to look like a face in a filter – and now we see people who are entirely artificial," she says. Aside from the impact AI models could have on a consumer, especially if unlabelled, what about the impact of this technology on those working in the fashion industry? Sara Ziff is a former model and founder of Model Alliance, an organisation that aims to advance workers' rights in the fashion industry. She says Guess's AI campaign is "less about innovation and more about desperation and need to cut costs". More broadly, the former model thinks AI in the fashion industry is not inherently exploitative, but can often come at the expense of the people who bring it to life because there are many more staff involved in a photoshoot than just the model and the photographer. "AI can positively impact the industry, but there need to be meaningful protections for workers," she explains. 'Supplement not replace' Seraphinne Vallora rejects the notion that it is putting people out of work, and says its pioneering technology "is supplementary and not meant to replace models". "We're offering companies another choice in how they market a product," Petrescu explains. The pair add that they have created jobs with their company, and part of the process of creating AI models requires them to hire a real model and photographer to see how the product looks on a person in real life. However, its website lists one of the benefits of working with them as being cost-efficient because it "eliminates the need for expensive set-ups, MUA artists, venue rentals, stage setting, photographers, travel expenses, hiring models". Vogue has come under fire for including the advert in its print edition, with one person on X saying the fashion magazine had "lost credibility". Bovell says the magazine is "seen as the supreme court of the fashion industry", so allowing the AI advert to run means they are "in some way ruling it as acceptable". The BBC approached Vogue and Guess for comment. Vogue said it was an advert, not an editorial decision, but declined to respond further. So, what does the future of the modelling industry look like? Gonzalez and Petrescu believe that as their technology improves, they will be even more in demand by brands looking to do things differently. Bovell thinks there will be more AI-generated models in the future, but "we aren't headed to a future where every model is created by AI". She sees positives in the development of AI in the industry - predicting that anybody could "start to see ourselves as the fashion models" because we will be able to create a personal AI avatar to see how clothes look and fit. However, she adds that we may get to the stage of "society opting out, and not being interested in AI models because it's so unattainable and we know it's not real".
