Dakota Johnson: The Role That Embarrased Her The Most
The 30-year-old actress has no regrets about her way in Hollywood.
Dakota Johnson achieved world fame thanks to her role in the “50 Shades of Gray” saga, which meant her departure from the family nest and the first time she became known thanks to her own merits. Since then he has worked in different genres, from comedy to suspense and drama. But in the midst of all the projects, was this the one you were most ashamed of doing?
In 2016, he led the cast of “How to Be Single,” a romantic comedy directed by Christian Ditter, and in 2018 he took on the starring role in Luca Guadagnino’s horror film “Suspira,” inspired by the famous 1977 Italian film of the same name. He also recently appeared in “Bad Times at the El Royale” in 2018 and “The High Note” in 2020.
Each of these roles has played a role in Dakota Johnson’s upward trajectory as a prominent actress in Hollywood, which appears to be where she will remain for the foreseeable future. But even with such success early in her acting career in the film and show business, there is a role that she admitted to finding somewhat embarrassing.
It is no secret to anyone that the ” 50 Shades ” movies based on EL James’ romance novels were not well received by critics: on Rotten Tomatoes, one of the best resources for measuring the general consensus of a movie, has only a Tomatometer of 25%, with a slightly higher audience score of 41%. However, the audience loved them.
They were box office hits, with the first one making more than $ 569 million worldwide, a number substantially higher than the film’s $ 40 million budget. With that kind of audience attention, it was inevitable that the film would open the doors for Dakota Johnson in the cinema, as it did.
In a past interview, Dakota Johnson was asked if she thinks she will ever regret doing these kinds of sagas, to which she replied, “It comes in waves. But this project is not going to be my swan song. It has put my life on a path that I had no intention of following, but I am proud of it (…) ‘Fifty Shades’ left me in a world where I really wanted to be”.
