Fifty Shades Of Grey was the best-selling book of the past decade, spawning a series of three Fifty movies that made more than a billion dollars at the box office. Fans can’t get enough of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, but if you were to ask author E.L. James herself, she was getting a little tired of her misunderstood hero. In fact she recently shared a brutally honest take on Mr. Grey, and it checks out.
OK, maybe she is more than a little tired. Citing that she “wanted a break from Christian and Ana” as one of the reasons she switched to new characters Maxim and Alessia after Fifty Shades Freed, James recently admitted that her infamous leading man is “exhausting.” His red room scenes may be fun to watch on the big screen, but there’s a lot to unpack when you are one of the creative people on the project.
