Rita Ora has opened up about rehearsing for her role in the highly anticipated 50 Shades of Grey - comparing the experience to 'going back to school'.
The singer, who originally approached producers for a chance to sing on the soundtrack, nabbed the role of Christian Grey's adoptive sister Mia in the flick.
During an interview with The Breakfast Club on America's Power 105.1 FM, Rita herself revealed that like Anastasia, she enjoys a bit of bondage in the bedroom:
"I mean, I like a whip. This is why Fifty Shades is perfect for me... because I really love the book.
"But I like unexpected stuff. A tiny bit of (pain), not too much."
The 23-year old also admitted that playing the part took a lot of hard work, mostly because she had to master two different languages:
"I prepped for the role by learning some French first of all, by learning an American accent and by really just not being me. I had a brown wig on and I was being the smart girl that came from French school to see her family, so it was just a lot of dedication, it was like going back to school."
50 Shades of Grey is due for release on Valentine's Day 2015.
