Dakota Johnson’s Awkward Interview Raises Social Media Divisions
Dakota Johnson, known for her roles in Fifty Shades of Grey and Madame Web, has once again found herself at the center of social media frenzy. Her latest interview has divided opinions among fans and viewers.
The interview, conducted by a journalist at Huff Post, took an uncomfortable turn when Johnson was asked about a viral moment from Madame Web’s trailer. The interviewer read out a line from the movie that went viral, saying, ‘He was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders right before she died.’
Confusion immediately set in as Johnson seemed unaware of the viral attention the line had garnered. She asked, ‘Why did that go viral?’ When the interviewer explained that the out-of-context nature of the line made it amusing, Johnson remained puzzled. ‘Somebody brought this up and I have no idea what it’s about. Isn’t any sentence out of context, out of context? What a silly thing,’ she dryly responded.
As the clip of the interview circulated on social media, fans reacted with mixed opinions. Some cringed at the awkward exchange, with one user commenting, ‘Damn, she looks mad. This is awkward.’ Others questioned Johnson’s likability, stating, ‘She doesn’t seem likeable here,’ and ‘The silence is unbearable!’
However, there were also fans who defended Johnson and her reaction. One user said, ‘I’m with Dakota, I don’t get it.’ Another argued that the journalist failed to explain the viral meme properly, stating, ‘People were laughing because it’s overly expository.’
This incident is a reminder of Johnson’s previous interview moments, including her call-out of Ellen Degeneres and her admission of lying in an Architectural Digest interview about her love for limes. Johnson has become known for her stoic responses and reluctance to play along with certain narratives.
Despite the social media divide, Johnson has been praised for her refusal to buy into a joke made at the film’s expense. Her upcoming role as Cassandra Webb in Madame Web has generated excitement among fans, with the movie set to be released on February 16.
Dakota Johnson’s interviews continue to captivate audiences, making headlines for her unique reactions and expressions. Whether you’re a fan or not, there’s no denying Johnson’s ability to provoke discussion and debate.
