Pedro Pascal Has Most Hilarious Reaction To Dakota Johnson's On-Set Injuries

News18a day ago

Both Pedro Pascal and Dakota Johnson broke out into laughter during the rapid fire for the magazine, where they also talked about on-set injuries.
Pedro Pascal and Dakota Johnson have been keeping fans entertained via their quirky interviews ahead of their upcoming release, Materialists. The duo which seems to have a stunning chemistry both on-screen and off-screen came together for a fun rapid fire and the result was more entertaining than what you would expect. In a standout moment, Johnson hilariously recalled getting hurt on the sets of one of her previous movies but it was Pascal's reaction that you would not want to miss.
Both Pedro Pascal and Dakota Johnson were laughing while questioning each other for Vogue but the hysterics truly broke out when they started talking about on-set injuries. It all started with Johnson asking Pascal, 'Have you ever had any accidents while filming?"
Replying, Pascal said, 'Yes, I have. I've gotten hurt for real." Before he could finish, Johnson interrupted him to share her own story as she shared through giggles, 'I got whiplash from 'Fifty Shades." Her response led them both to absolutely lose it but Pascal was caught entirely off-guard as he erupted into laughter and even stood up from the chair to compose himself. Later, the actor added, 'This is my favorite thing."
Wondering how Johnson sustained such an injury? It was during a scene where she was supposed to be thrown down on the bed a few too many times. Earlier in 2015, the actress told Yahoo Movies UK about the incident as she shared, 'Jamie (Dornan) was throwing me on a bed. We did 17 takes so my head just snapped back all day and when I woke up I couldn't move my neck. Which was really terrible."
The Fifty Shades series featured Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele, a college student who falls for ultra-rich Christian Grey, played by Jamie Dornan.
In another interview with E!Online, Dakota Johnson reflected on her strong bond with Pascal as she explained, 'Well, we're really close friends. So the best part was just hanging out all the time."
As for Materialists, the film features Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans. It marks her first on-screen collaboration with Pascal and is set to hit theatres on June 13.

Materialists review: Romance is the only luxury in this glossy love triangle

If you judged Celine Song's second feature by its trailer, you might expect a frothy romcom with a glossy love triangle—Dakota Johnson caught between Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal sounds like an OTT platform algorithm's dream. But as with Past Lives, her Oscar-nominated debut, Celine is not afraid to steer the ship into deeper, stormier waters. Materialists may sparkle with the trappings of romantic comedy, but it's really a sophisticated examination of how money complicates intimacy—and whether love without financial stability can survive in today's world. Lucy (Dakota Johnson) is a high-end matchmaker in New York City, pairing affluent clients with partners who tick every curated box—from height and hair density to income brackets and gym routines. She believes love is a transaction like any other, a philosophy reinforced by a past breakup with John (Chris Evans), a struggling actor whose anniversary dinner plan involved a food cart. At a ritzy wedding, Lucy meets Henry (Pedro Pascal), the groom's impossibly wealthy brother, and also crosses paths with John again, now working the party as a waiter. Caught between old affection and newfound luxury, Lucy faces a modern dilemma: is it possible to have both love and a 12-million-dollar apartment? Celine Song's writing brims with nuance, wit, and surgical insight. Like in Past Lives, conversations in Materialists crackle with unspoken longing, contradictions, and societal tension. The film zeroes in on how the search for love has been shaped—and warped—by capitalism, especially in a city like New York, where net worth is often just as important as emotional compatibility. Dakota Johnson sheds her usual airy charm for something sharper, more commanding. Her Lucy is both savvy and vulnerable, a woman aware of her own contradictions and willing to live with them. Chris Evans gives one of his most grounded performances in years, playing a man whose earnestness isn't enough in a world where passion doesn't pay rent. Pedro Pascal's Henry is smooth and magnetic, but Song is careful not to present him as a one-dimensional 'Mr. Big' caricature—his appeal is just as much about emotional attentiveness as it is about wealth. The film is peppered with satirical flourishes. Lucy's clients, with their absurd romantic expectations, provide sly commentary on the commodification of dating. There's even a moment of dark reality when one of her matches turns violent—jarring, but intentionally so, grounding the movie in a world that isn't entirely aspirational. There's also a narrative corner the film paints itself into: it wants to critique the importance of money in relationships while acknowledging its undeniable influence. That leads to a slight cheat in the final act, where financial stakes are softened to make room for romance. The compromise may be intentional, but it also deflates some of the tension that's been building all along. Materialists isn't trying to give audiences a grand cinematic kiss in the rain. Smart, stylish, and at times uncomfortably honest, it's a film that dares to ask whether we fall in love with people—or with the lives they offer. It wants to leave you thinking about whether love can thrive without a healthy bank balance—or if, in today's hyper-capitalist world, romance has become just another luxury item. If this film doesn't sweep you off your feet, it stays with you like a tough but necessary conversation.
