The leads don't look that young


Don't get me wrong, Johnson and Dornan look fine, but they don't look any younger than their actual ages: late twenties and early thirties respectively. Aren't the characters supposed to look remarkably youthful (Ana a virgin college student, Christian a pampered man child)? Johnson doesn't look anything like a "girl", she actually looks a little world-weary, and Dornan has some of his middle-aged features beginning to show on his face. Again, nothing wrong with that, but it is a bit incongruous with the characters.

In the first book, Christian in 27 and Ana is 22...Christian has a trainer and he is very into running and biking...but he leans more to the slender but well built type of guy who looks fantastic in a suit...Jamie was 32, tends to have a baby face, so he looks great to me..Dakota at 24, looks better as the movie moves along, she was supposed to look kind of dumpy when she first meets Christian.. in the next book/movie,Christian takes Ana for a make over..hair cut and make up...she loves it.
