Dakota Johnson looks back on her career in a new interview, starting with her first adult role in 2010’s The Social Network.
The 34-year-old daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson made her film debut as a child in her mother’s 1999 film Crazy in Alabama, and was just 19 when she filmed The Social Network.
Johnson was alone in a scene where he chats with Justin Timberlake’s Sean Parker in his Stanford dorm room, which he talks about in a new interview with vanity fair.
When asked if she had any “preconceived notions” about Timberlake’s entry into the production, the actress, who was recently spotted at a Gucci party in Milan, admitted that she did, and revealed how he was on set.
She also shared a story about how her famous mother embarrassed her in front of none other than then-President Barack Obama.
Dakota Johnson looks back on her career in a new interview, starting with her first adult role in 2010’s The Social Network.
Johnson was in just one scene where he chats with Justin Timberlake’s Sean Parker in his Stanford dorm room, which he talks about in a new interview with Vanity Fair.
“I was like 19 and I was straddling Justin Timberlake, and I liked whipping him in the face with my hair,” she said of the first take of her scene, where she basically wakes Sean up.
“One hundred percent had preconceived notions, but he was charming and kind and very welcoming to a person who was just a stranger,” Johnson admitted.
When asked about the Stanford shorts he was wearing in the scene, he admitted he wasn’t allowed to keep them, but said they were “good shorts.”
“I think because it was about The Social Network and David Fincher, we did this so many times that I feel like I remember it and it’s happening now… maybe I was traumatized?” he added.
Fincher is a filmmaker known for motivating actors by doing a lot of takes during production.
She concluded the segment with a story about an event with her mother, where they both met Barack Obama when he was president of the United States.
“This time I was with my mother and we met with Barack Obama and it was a big deal,” Johnson admitted.
“He was talking to her and she said, ‘Oh, Mr. President, this is my daughter. She just made a movie, she is also an actress. “I was on The Social Network, I was in my underwear. ‘And I died. I died inside,’ Johnson joked.

Earlier this year, Johnson and Timberlake reunited when she hosted Saturday Night Live in January and Timberlake was the musical guest.
The actress was promoting her new film Madame Web, which hit theaters in February and grossed $100 million worldwide.
She will next be seen in writer-director Celine Song’s Materialists, alongside Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans, currently in post-production.
Johnson also has the comedy Splitsville with Adria Arjona, Michael Angelo Covino and Kyle Marvin in pre-production.
