Emilia Clarke as Anastasia Steele

This led to her turning down the role of Anastasia Steele in 'Fifty Shades of Grey', which went to Dakota Johnson. Emilia told The Hollywood Reporter: "I did a minimal amount and I’m pigeonholed for life, so me saying yes to ['Fifty Shades'], where the entire thing is about sensuality and sex and being naked and all of that stuff, I was just like, ‘No way am I going to voluntarily walk into that situation and then never be able to look someone in the eye and be like, ‘No, you can’t keep asking me this question.' ”
