Dakota Johnson reveals surprising A-list support after her embarrassing Razzie win for box office disaster Madame Web
Dakota Johnson received the Razzie Award for Worst Actress in 2024 for her role in box office flop Madame Web.
And now the 35-year-old actress is opening up about the embarrassing career moment, sharing which A-list star showed her support.
Johnson — who is the nepo baby of Melanie Griffith — revealed on Amy Poehler 's Good Hang podcast that Sandra Bullock reached out to her about the disaster.
Bullock received the same Worst Actress dishonor in 2010 for her role in All About Steve. In a show of good humor, she attended the event to collect the award.
'[She] sent me a voice note being like, "I heard you are in the Razzie club and we should have brunch, we should have a monthly brunch,"' Dakota spilled on Tuesday's episode of Amy's show.
The Lost Daughter star also recalled how she reacted to Sandra's voice note.
'I freaked out getting this message from her because she's so iconic to me, as like a movie star. I was like, "Oh my God." I was just crazy,' she said.
Last year Dakota was said to have infuriated her Madame Web bosses by making multiple public digs at the Marvel movie amid its poor performance.
She played the titular superhero in the $80million production, which was ripped to shreds by critics and viewers alike following its Valentine's Day 2024 release.
About a month into its theatrical premiere, it had only grossed $40 million domestically.
It had one of the lowest superhero debuts in recent history, taking in a modest $15.1 million in its opening weekend.
Elsewhere in the Good Hang appearance, the silver screen siren chatted about the franchise that launched her to fame — Fifty Shades of Grey.
She told Amy she is 'always psyched' to shoot the movies' steamy moments.
When asked how she hypes herself up for portraying the act on camera, she answered: 'I don't have to. I'm, like, always psyched up for sex.'
She noted that lessons she learned from her mother have spilled into her entertainment career.
'I want to feel good in my body,' she said. 'If I'm showing my body... my mom raised to me to be really, really proud of my body and love my body, so I've always felt so grateful for that, especially in my work, because I can use it and it feels real.'
Johnson added, 'She also talked to me about sex and how precious and important [it is].
'So I guess in my work... it's something that I feel brave with and that I feel when it's used the right way in a story, it's important.'

Arnold Schwarzenegger's love child missing from family reunion snap
Arnold Schwarzenegger had a family reunion at the premiere of season two of his Netflix action comedy Fubar on Wednesday - but one of his children got the cold shoulder. The star, 77, smiled as he posed alongside his children, Katherine, 35, Christina, 33, Patrick, 31, and Christopher, 27, as well as Katherine's husband Chris Pratt, 45. But his son, Joseph Baena, was nowhere to be seen in the family snap. The action film icon shares his four eldest children with his ex-wife, Maria Shriver, while Joseph was born following an affair he'd had with his family's longtime housekeeper, Mildred Baena. Arnie wore a lustrous dark blue suit with peaked lapels, which he wore with a tie-free pale blue button-up shirt, black leather shoes, and a black Western belt with an over-the-top buckle. His four oldest children all favored black ensembles for the premiere, while Chris Pratt complemented his father-in-law with a blue–gray suede jacket. Christopher wore a black suit with a white dress shirt and skipped the tie, while his older sister Christina also rocked a sleek black suit. Patrick wore a black double-breasted suit with pinstripes. However, he awkwardly paired the jacket with a tie made of the same striped material, and rather than wearing a full suit he wore plain black trousers, along with black brogues with a slight lift. And Katherine wore a single-shoulder black blouse with a large bow tied around her midriff and matching slacks with contrasting pointy white heels. Although none of Joseph's siblings appeared to have posed for any photos with him at the premiere, it was a different story when it came to his famous father, who looked as if he was having a great time goofing off on the red carpet with his son. Joseph looked casually cool in a charcoal cardigan with high-waisted trousers, a dark sweater draped over his shoulders, and black leather loafers. The premiere was an uncomfortable replay of the premiere of the first season of Fubar just over two years earlier, when Joseph beamed next to his father but wasn't a part of any photos featuring his siblings. Arnold appeared to also be close with his son Joseph's girlfriend, the Dutch model Mel, as she was seen resting her head on his shoulder inside the theater. In 2023, a source told Page Six that Arnold and Joseph 'are very close,' but they claimed that the 'other kids don't love Joe'. They added that the True Lies actor had 'always treated [Joseph] like all his other kids' after he had reportedly paid for his youngest son's school and also bought his mother Mildred a house. The source also claimed that 'the other kids take [the affair] out on Joe.' Although Katherine, Patrick, Christina and Christopher reportedly don't have any interest in getting to know their half-brother better, he has publicly wished them the best in the past.

Trump reveals the classical instrument he used to play as a child
President Donald Trump has revealed which classical instrument he practiced when he was a youngster. Speaking with New York Post columnist Miranda Devine on her Pod Force One podcast this week, the president shared that he showed an ear for music at an early age. 'I played, like very short periods of time, the flute,' Trump revealed. 'Do you believe that?' 'I had flute lessons,' the president continued flashing a smile. 'That's the first person that's ever asked me that crazy question. I could have been a flutist,' he joked. The Republican's mother urged a young Donald Trump to take up lessons, he shared. 'I had instructors, an instructor coming to teach me how to play the flute,' he added. He began playing around age 11 or 12 after taking an 'aptitude' test that showed he was gifted musically, Trump said. 'I think I have an ear for music,' the 78-year-old proclaimed. The president has a varied taste in music ranging from disco anthems like YMCA to American classics from Frank Sinatra, and even opera. 'I play great music,' Trump said on the podcast. 'People like the music I play.' Though, when it came to the flute lessons, he shared: 'I didn't particularly like it, wasn't for me.' The Republican admitted that his musical selection was an 'unusual instrument' and that he doubts he can still play. 'They came up to my father, they said, 'your son is brilliant at music. He can be an incredible musician,' Trump recounted to the columnist during a 45-minute interview. 'This is not what my father wanted to hear,' the president continued. 'You know, this was not the greatest thing ever.' The president revealed that as a kid he used to be able to recall which musical notes were played hours before, impressing his teachers. 'They play a note and, like, on a piano, and then I remember to this day, and then they ask you other questions, and then they play notes later on and say which is the note we played from one hour ago. And I'd like get it right, I guess, but that was a long time ago,' Trump said. 'But I do have an ear for music.'

Trump gets mixed reception at Kennedy Center over ‘woke' agenda purge
President Trump was met with boos at the Kennedy Center 's opening night of Les Miserables, his first appearance since appointing a new leader and vowing to remove 'woke' programming. Trump's presence led to protests, including drag performers who received donated tickets and were cheered by the audience. There were also chants of 'USA! USA!' as Trump and others in the administration took their seats. California Governor Gavin Newsom alluded to the irony of Trump attending Les Miserables, a musical about French revolutionaries fighting the government. Trump dismissed the performers' boycott, emphasizing his focus on the economy and his plans to revitalize the Kennedy Center.
