Dakota Johnson has come a great distance since her Fifty Shades of Gray days. She has two extremely anticipated flicks on the 2025 film calendar, has turn into a vogue staple, and continues to make a reputation for herself. However each shining star journeys up every now and then, and Johnson revealed a kind of clumsier moments occurred behind the scenes on Saturday Evening Reside subsequent to Lorne Michaels. The goofy response he needed to her tumbling right into a set piece fits him effectively.
The anecdote arose throughout her time on Late Evening with Seth Meyers (the place she was carrying a surprising sheer mesh gown). The actress chatted about her first expertise on the annual French movie pageant, together with the pressures, however confessed that her largest worry on any carpet (or past) is falling. The 35-year-old confirmed that she fell throughout Cannes, but in addition throughout SNL as a visitor, watching alongside Michaels himself. In her phrases:
I am obsessive about SNL. So I’m going and watch and sit the place Lorne sits…. I went out entrance with Lorne to look at Weekend Replace as a result of generally [he is] like, ‘Come and watch on the ground,’ which is, like, the best factor ever. After which I took, like, a tiny step backwards, and I utterly knocked over and fell into a complete set piece, and it was like [explosion sound].
This simply makes Dakota Johnson all of the extra relatable to me. As somebody who has tripped (and harm herself) on the sidewalk, I really feel this deeply. Generally, one way or the other, a few of us can simply discover ourselves on the bottom. Admittedly, although, I’ve by no means bitten it with a full-fledged reside viewers anticipating comedy within the room!
However perhaps the goofiest and most poignant particular person to reply was the SNL head himself. The Daddio alum went on to share his brief however quippy response:
[Lorne] was like, ‘You had been there, and then you definately weren’t there.’
Hopefully, the Cannes and the 30 Rock flop are each behind her, and it is the one fall she endures this yr. However with the upcoming Materialists and the Cannes-premiered movie Splitsville, each await nationwide releases and press excursions. So we’ll have to attend and see simply how effectively she does for the upcoming A24 film and the Neon movie.
I’d additionally like to know Lorne Michaels’ aspect of Dakota Johnson taking out the large set piece. Really, I feel many people wish to know much more Studio 8H materials, particularly now that the wrapped historic fiftieth season has ended. Catching the entire SNL content material with my Peacock subscription must do, although, till the subsequent story like Johnson’s arrives.
