"Access Hollywood recently spoke with Rita Ora about the inevitable furor that&amp;#039;ll surround her role in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie since, oh, well, yes, since the trailer&amp;#039;s release last week. It&amp;#039;s already happening! In the interview, a very self-deprecatory Ora describes herself as &amp;quot;new to the world of auditioning,&amp;quot; and says the Fifty Shades casting process surprised her. (This is strange, because she&amp;#039;s a graduate of a storied British stage school.) &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t know there [would be] so many callbacks,&amp;quot; she explains; she reportedly went through eight auditions total to land the role of Christian&amp;#039;s sister Mia. Ora also describes it as her &amp;quot;first film role,&amp;quot; which isn&amp;#039;t technically true \u2014 she cameo&amp;#039;d in the sixth Fast &amp;amp;amp; Furious movie and also appeared in gritty British crime flick Spivs as a child. She said she found perfecting an American accent &amp;quot;incredibly difficult.&amp;quot; During filming, she even needed someone \u2014 presumably a twangy vocal coach \u2014 to recite her lines, accented, through an earpiece, because she apparently found herself so nervous she forgot everything. Dakota Johnson was &amp;quot;a great friend&amp;quot; though and helped her get through it all.  And not that she could really say anything otherwise, but Ora also says the movie is &amp;quot;as close as it can visually be&amp;quot; to the books, and believes it&amp;#039;ll be amazing on the big screen. She even promises to take a fan to the movie&amp;#039;s premiere, so start pleading your case right now if you&amp;#039;d like to be her date. Follow Alex on  Twitter. Watch Now!
