The 26-year-old actress, who portrayed Anastasia Steele in the first installment of the film, feels like she has been "five different people" since it release, reported Female First.
"It feels like a lifetime ago. I feel like I've been five different people since then.
"What did I do afterwards? I was working - I kept going. The night I hosted 'Saturday Night Live' was the end of promoting the movie and then...I think I blacked it out. I went into an emotional void," Dakota said.
"My childhood I spent outdoors riding horses. It's the most comfortable place for me. I grew up travelling. I grew up on sets. I grew up going to new places. And I like it all," she said.
