She has watched her work for the much-anticipated erotic flick Fifty Shades Of Grey more than, well, fifty times.
But when movie director Sam Taylor-Johnson unveiled a clip of her latest movie to pop queen Beyoncé, who sings the sound track for the film, it was the English film-maker who turned red.
The 47-year-old Croydon-born star told the Sydney Morning Herald: 'As the scene opened there was no context...it was just, "here's a hardcore sex scene, hey, nice to meet you"'.

Nice to meet you too! Beyoncé sets pulses racing in the video to accompany her 2013 track Haunted that features on the film's soundtrack
She said of her first meeting with Beyoncé, whose powerful track Haunted is from her fifth studio album: 'I suddenly felt myself recoil. I suddenly thought, "This is really explicit, and I don't even know this woman"'.
The movie maker has been busy translating the work of TV executive-turned-novelist Erika Leonard, better known by the pen name E L James.
Set for a Hollywood release date of Valentine's Day, February 14, the film sees 32-year-old Jamie Dornan star as enigmatic billionaire, Christian Grey who performs raunchy sex scenes opposite Dakota Johnson who plays a graduate known as Anastasia Steele.

The book’s plot follows the depraved relationship between the two with Grey introducing his leading lady to sado-masochism and bondage.
It comes as no surprise that Beyoncé's music video for Haunted, which was posted on her VEVO channel in November, has become a contender for her raciest yet.
In it the 33-year-old hitmaker is seen shaking her Bootylicious curves in little more than black underwear and writhing around on a bed.

Sporting an elaborate dark gold crown, the mother-of-one sets pulses racing in an Agent Provocateur 'Alina' cut-out bra, complete with straps across the chest.
Strutting into a glamorous yet creepy hotel, Beyonce is filmed receiving a light for a cigarette from a hunky bell boy.
Once she has checked out the rooms, and some of the hotel's unusual guests, the singer struts down a hallway in an androgynous suit, featuring an oversized bow.

It is not the first time the award-winning crooner and wife of Jay Z has worked on a film soundtrack.
When she starred in Dreamgirls she released the lead single Listen and covered Amy Winehouse's Back to Black with André 3000 for The Great Gatsby soundtrack, EntertainmentWise reported.
Meanwhile Ms Taylor-Johnson has told how shooting the erotic scenes from her latest movie has made her go 'out of her mind', telling Red magazine: 'I have seen this film over a thousand times, and I’m now in a blancmange.'
Your majesty! Beyonce teamed her lingerie with fishnets, embellished heels and an applique cape
She added: 'But the nuances within — the tiniest shift, look, blink of an eye — can make all the difference and flip it into the wrong territory.'
