June 3 (UPI) -- Dakota Johnson discussed her upcoming movie Materialists and how her co-star Pedro Pascal takes her clothes "a lot" when she stopped by The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon Monday.
The actress, 35, portrays matchmaker Lucy in the romantic comedy, out June 13.
"Materialists is about a matchmaker in New York City who is very, very good at her job, and she's also sort of trying to figure out for herself what love means and what is actually really valuable in life," Johnson told Fallon. "It's sort of a bit of a love triangle."
The film follows Lucy as she is courted by a wealthy man who lives in a $12 million penthouse apartment (Pascal), and her ex who has not moved on (Chris Evans).
Johnson said she knew Pascal prior to shooting.
"Pedro and I were homies, yeah," she said. "We actually do hang out all the time, when we're in the same place."
Fallon then presented a photograph of the pair at a Stevie Nicks concert in London.
"He's wearing my -- that's my sweater," Johnson pointed out. "He does that a lot. He takes my clothes. Yeah, he's like always underdressed -- well, I mean like he's wearing a t-shirt, and it's cold outside. Not like he forgot his pants."
Johnson and Fallon also played a game of Fast Forward during the actress' visit to The Tonight Show.
Johnson, the daughter of actors Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, is best known for starring in Fifty Shades of Grey and its sequels.

Kevin Smith confirms he's writing 'Dogma 2'

Photo courtesy of Triple Media Film NEW YORK, June 5 (UPI) -- Actor and filmmaker Kevin Smith says he was so energized and inspired by a "beautifully sentimental" experience screening Dogma in the "classics" section of the Cannes Film Festival that he is determined to go back there in a few years with a sequel to it. Dogma first screened at the prestigious festival in 1999. Smith also showed Clerks there in 1994 and Clerks 2 in 2006. "I stopped submitting movies to Cannes. They didn't seem like Cannes-worthy movies, in my personal estimation. So, there I'm walking the Croisette and I'm like: 'Why do you think you're done? It doesn't mean you can't come back here with a Cannes-worthy movie. You just have to [expletive] try,'" the writer-director told UPI in a recent Zoom interview. "So, it was the 78th edition this year and I'm going to give it a shot, so, hopefully, by the 80th or 81st, I want to return with the Dogma sequel, which I've been writing." DOGMA: The Resurrection Tour! See it with me followed by a Q&A! Get tickets at In American theaters everywhere JUNE 5th! Get tickets at KevinSmith (@ThatKevinSmith) April 28, 2025 The iconic Catholic comedy, which returns to theaters Thursday for its 25th anniversary, stars Matt Damon and Ben Affleck as Loki and Bartleby, fallen angels who figure out a way to get back into Heaven via a New Jersey church, a selfish move that could unmake existence. Trying to stop them and save humanity are Bethany, who only recently learned she is a descendant of Jesus Christ's family (Linda Fiorentino); Metatron, the voice of God (the late Alan Rickman); Rufus, Christ's 13th apostle (Chris Rock); Serendipity, a muse (Salma Hayek); and the foul-mouthed "prophets" Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Smith). The late George Carlin plays Cardinal Glick, pastor of the parish where the epic showdown between the two factions takes place. Asked who from his star-studded cast might return for the follow-up, Smith, 54, replied, "I'm going to set the table for anyone who's alive to still be in the cast." "The story I'm telling certainly allows for them, but isn't predicated on any of those characters. It's not like, if I don't have this person, I can't go anywhere. So, God willing -- pun intended -- they'll all come back," he continued. Smart, hilarious and humble, Smith famously fosters positive working relationships with people who then follow him from picture to picture. "We've had very good retention success over the years," he said. "The way I always look at it is, if Ben and Matt came back for Jay & Silent Bob Reboot, I've got to imagine Dogma 2 will bring them back." Working with Carlin on the first movie meant a lot to Smith, who grew up idolizing the comedy legend. "George, from the jump, was somebody we pursued for the movie," Smith said, recalling how the timing wasn't the best, though, since Sally, Carlin's wife of nearly 40 years, died the week Smith sent him the script. Smith said: "I sat down with him, and he goes: 'i love your script. It [messes] with the church. I'm way into that sort of thing, but, we got a bit of a problem because, as you know, my wife passed away. ... She was a cool lady. I'm going to miss her for the rest of my life, but because of that, I'm not really ready to take my wedding band and I know I'm playing a Catholic cardinal, so that's a problem.'" Carlin and the filmmaker decided that covering the ring with a Band-Aid would solve the problem. "So, he came blindly because it was right up his alley as an old lapsed Catholic," Smith said. Rickman was an actor Smith had long admired, but with whom he never expected to collaborate. "He was one of my favorite actors on the planet and I thought he was too good for an [expletive] 'Kevin Smith movie,' so I never would have reached out to him," Smith said. But then, one day, John Gordon, an executive at the movie studio, Miramax, called Smith up and told him that Rickman was raving about Smith's 1997 film, Chasing Amy, during a recent visit to speak about starring in a Merchant/Ivory drama. "I was like: 'Hans [expletive] Gruber was in the building. Did he blow it up or what?'" Smith quipped. After Gordon told him the Shakespearean-trained actor was a fan of his, Smith sent Rickman the script. "It was the fastest 'yes' I ever got from an actor in my life, outside of Jason Mewes. Jason Mewes always always says 'yes' before I finish saying the title," Smith said. "Alan Rickman, though, got the script, less than two hours later, he called up and said, 'I'm in.' it was magic," Smith added. "Alan Rickman is the savior of this film. He treats it so damn seriously." The filmmaker said the cast always gets a huge round of applause from audience when the credits roll at the end of screenings, but people really go crazy when they see the Mewes and Rickman for the final times. "I told Jason, 'They love you to death, but they love Alan Rickman a little bit more,' and he's like: 'Wait until I die. I'll show them,'" Smith laughed. The film's thoughtful musings about spiritual faith, religious freedom, the power of the church and the concept of beliefs versus ideas still resonate with viewers 25 years and four Catholic popes after Dogma hit the big screen. As Smith has discussed the film during panels and screenings over the years, people have shared how profoundly it has impacted them, with many noting it actually helped bring them back to church. "I get it because I remember the kid who wrote this and directed it and believed in everything that's in the movie," she said. "So, It's a profession of faith. Yes, it's a comedy, but this is young Kevin Smith's idea of what Sunday service could be if it had anal Jokes in it. So, it still plays that way, to this day, and right now, more than ever, it feels like people are looking for a little extra faith, and, oddly enough, the movie may play better today than it did in 1999."

‘It feels final': Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin 'split' after eight years together
Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin have reportedly called time on their relationship, with sources close to the couple saying the split 'feels final this time.' The Fifty Shades of Grey actress, 35, and Coldplay frontman, 48, were first linked in 2017 and have shared a home in Malibu for several years. They were last seen together publicly in May, and before that, during a trip to India in January. Johnson appeared to allude to the reported break-up in a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times when reflecting on her new role in The Materialists. When asked what made the role 'feel different for her,' Johnson replied: 'The complexities of all of the characters. The paradox. 'Everyone being confused about what the f**k they're supposed to do with their hearts and what's the right move. I found that very honest, and I found it just so relatable.' She added: 'For a long time, we've all been so quick to judge relationships or how they should happen, how they should exist in the world, when people should get married, divorce is bad. 'All these things that actually, if you think about it, why is divorce bad? Why do people have to get married or at a certain age or only once? Why? It doesn't matter.' The couple's romance has had its share of ups and downs over the years. In 2019, they reportedly briefly split before rekindling things later that year, sparking engagement rumours. By 2024, sources claimed the pair had been engaged for six years but were 'in no rush to get married.' Then last August, rumours of a split resurfaced — but Johnson's rep dismissed the speculation, telling Page Six the couple were 'happily together.' Despite being seen wearing an emerald ring and dismissing split rumours last summer, a source admitted the couple had 'had issues and taken breaks in the past,' citing their busy schedules and 'are balancing things the best they can.' Neither has publicly confirmed the latest reported break-up. The Standard has contacted Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin's reps for comment.

Dakota Johnson & Chris Martin Reportedly Breakup After 8-Year On-off Relationship
Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin are back in the spotlight following reports of their latest breakup. Multiple sources have confirmed that the longtime couple, who began dating in 2017 and were reportedly engaged for years, have ended their relationship once again. The news comes just weeks after their last public appearance together in Malibu. Here's what sources revealed about the split, the couple's relationship timeline, and where things stand now. Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin have ended their relationship, sources confirmed to People. The pair had been in an on-off relationship since 2017 and were reportedly engaged for several years. A source told the outlet, 'It feels final this time,' suggesting a definitive end to their nearly eight-year partnership. The couple was last seen publicly on May 16, 2025, in Malibu. They were also photographed holding hands in India in January during Martin's Coldplay tour. Speculation about their engagement first arose in 2020, but it wasn't until March 2024 that a source confirmed they had been engaged 'for years.' At the time, they were reportedly 'in no rush to get married.' In August 2024, breakup rumors surfaced but were dismissed by Johnson's rep, who said the two were 'happily together.' Johnson and Martin maintained a low-profile relationship. In June 2024, a source said they had experienced 'ups and downs, but now they're definitely back on.' Johnson has also publicly expressed affection for Martin's children with Gwyneth Paltrow, saying, 'I love those kids like my life depends on it,' referring to Apple, 21, and Moses, 19. She previously spoke about Martin's performances, telling Bustle, 'I love watching him. I could watch him every day… I'm watching my most favorite being do his most favorite thing.' Johnson attended a promotional event in New York on May 29, 2025, following her split, appearing solo just weeks before the release of Materialists, her upcoming film with Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal.
