Eloise Mumford talks about 'Fifty Shades of Grey' and mentions Dakota

In the Fifty Shades of Grey books, Anastasia Steele's BFF Kate is kind of a meddler, to the point that Ana frequently refers to her as "damn Katherine Kavanagh." When you use the full name, you know it's bad. But in the Fifty Shades movie, actress Eloise Mumford made Kate bubbly and likable, so you could easily see why Ana would want to hang out with her (and hottest hot man Elliot Grey would want to date her). On the occasion of Friday's Fifty Shades DVD and Blu-ray release, Eloise spoke to Cosmopolitan.com about sex swings, viewing parties, and the movie's much-too-far-in-the-future sequel.

There was a lot of speculation about what the dynamics were like on set, but what was it really like?

Eloise Mumford: There was so much pressure on this film to get it right, and since we weren't doing it in obscurity, everybody had their eyes on the shooting of the film. We'd show up on location, and there'd be fans and paparazzi there, and it was all so crazy but also a lot of fun. It was wild, there were paparazzi on the roof! The way we let out that stress and adrenaline was through a lot of humor. We all became very close. Dakota and Jamie are both very funny people. So are Sam Taylor-Johnson and Seamus McGarvey, the cinematographer, and since they are the main people you're going to be around when you're shooting, there was a really great energy on set. I really connect with [my character] a lot.
