On the surface, you see her as a very transactional person and not really invested in people's souls, but she actually is and really does want the best for them. She's also on her own journey of trying to figure out what it is she wants for herself in this life, and, essentially, do you fight for the thing that you think you want, or do you fight for that thing that you know you need?"

Dakota Johnson Plans To Direct First Feature From Script By ‘Cha Cha Real Smooth' Actress Vanessa Burghardt
Dakota Johnson plans to direct her first feature, from a script written by Cha Cha Real Smooth actress Vanessa Burghardt. Speaking at the Kering Women in Motion conversation event alongside her TeaTime Pictures producing partner Ro Donnelly on Monday at Cannes, Johnson said: 'The girl that plays my daughter [in Cha Cha Real Smooth], Vanessa Burkhart, she is an autistic actress and musician and brilliant person, and we have been working with her on developing a script. She's written a script, and it's really special, and it's about a young woman with autism. I feel very protective of her and her story in her mind, she's just an unbelievable woman. I just don't think I could allow anyone else to direct it. So we'll see.'

She admitted to extreme disappointment when that 'proof of concept' was not picked up as a television show, saying, 'It's a short film about queer friends living in Los Angeles and their relationships and their complications and their friendships and their sexuality and their identity, and nobody wanted to f–king make it. And I was like, 'Why? That's such a global conversation, and it should be talked about all the time,' but whatever. So it was a proof of concept that just is sitting there, proofing.' Johnson is at Cannes with the Michael Angelo Covino-directed Splitsville, which she co-produced and in which she stars as a woman in an open relationship who tries to help a male friend recover from a breakup. It will premiere at the French festival on Monday night. During the Kering Women in Motion conversation, Johnson also revealed that she has a 'no a__hole' policy at TeaTime Pictures. 'I love every person that works on the set. And the way that we we build our sets is really vibe-based, really energy-based.'

Dakota Johnson says dad Don Johnson cut her off financially after she didn't get into Juilliard
In a candid conversation with her 'Materialists' co-star Pedro Pascal, actor Dakota Johnson revealed that she faced financial struggles in her early 20s after being cut off by her father, actor Don Johnson, when she failed to gain admission to The Juilliard School. 'I didn't get in and my dad cut me off because I didn't go to college,' Johnson said in the interview published in Elle UK. 'So, I started auditioning. I think I was 19 when I did 'The Social Network', and then little jobs and stuff after that.' Though she comes from a prominent Hollywood lineage — her parents are Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, and her grandmother is screen icon Tippi Hedren — Johnson said she found herself scraping by in Los Angeles. 'For a couple of years it was hard to make money,' she said. 'There were a few times when I'd go to the market and not have money in my bank account or not be able to pay rent, and I'd have to ask my parents for help.' She added, 'I'm very grateful that I had parents that could help me and did help me. But it certainly was not fun. The auditioning process, as you know, is the f—ing worst.' Johnson, who spent part of her childhood in San Francisco while her father filmed the television series 'Nash Bridges,' recalled growing accustomed to the comforts of luxury hotels like the Fairmont. But after Juilliard turned her down, she found herself facing a far less stable reality. 'That f—ing process was so awful and terrifying,' she said of the audition process. 'When you get accepted for an audition, it's a two-day-long chorus-line thing. You're supposed to get called back for a second audition, and I didn't. It was fine.' College never appealed to her, she explained. 'Because Juilliard felt so small — the idea of being in a classroom with the same group of people, and figuring out how to be a human in that environment, after growing up surrounded by so many different kinds of people and immersed in different cultures through traveling all over… It just felt really wrong to lock myself in one place,' Johnson said. Despite the initial struggles, the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' star said she always knew she wanted to act. 'I grew up on set,' Johnson said. 'My parents were always working with amazing artists, and I just loved it. I wanted to be a part of it so badly.' During the same interview, Johnson shared that Pascal once suggested she explore a different kind of side hustle — joining the subscription platform OnlyFans. 'Pedro Pascal told me that I should have an OnlyFans and that I could just like wiggle my toe and make money,' she said. 'Should I do that?' Johnson admitted she was unfamiliar with how the platform works. 'I don't know anything about that,' she said. 'I don't know. OnlyFans is the place where people go to watch people do weird things? Are OnlyFans models hot? Are they different to regular models?' While she appeared curious, she stopped short of seriously considering it. 'I feel like I would look at OnlyFans models on Instagram if I knew how to do that,' Johnson said. 'It sounds interesting. Sounds intriguing.' Johnson stars opposite Pascal and Chris Evans in 'Materialists,' a romantic drama from 'Past Lives' director Celine Song. The film opens in theaters June 13.

Pedro Pascal wants Dakota Johnson to start OnlyFans account
Hollywood actor Pedro Pascal has a rather unusual take on Dakota Johnson starting a new venture. The actor thinks that Dakota should start an OnlyFans account. The 50-year-old actor encouraged his 35-year-old old 'Materialists' co-star to start an account on the explicit online content subscription service to make money from her feet, reports 'Female First UK'. Dakota told Elle UK, "Pedro Pascal told me that I should have an OnlyFans. That I could just like wiggle my toe and I'd make money. Should I do that? I would look at OnlyFans models on Instagram if I knew how to do that. Sounds intriguing". Meanwhile, the pair recently revealed that Dakota doesn't remember their first meeting. When Pedro interviewed Dakota for Elle UK, he asked her, "Dakota, when and where did we first meet?" by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Rates Undo She replied, "According to whose truth? Do you want your story or my story?" Dakota said, "So yours is the truth because you're the man. Your truth is that we met first with somebody. Was it with Sarah Paulson ? Was it at the Met?" Emma Stone Dodges A Bee At Cannes, Chaotic Red Carpet Moment Captured As per 'Female First UK', Pedro insisted that was the second time they met, as they had first met 10 years earlier. He explained:,"It was the Golden Globes 2014. It wasn't during the ceremony; it was the after bit, when they usher you out and you go directly into some kind of HBO party. You knew Sarah and so met me, and you were on your own. They probably wouldn't give you a plus one. So, we banded together, and we looked after you". However, Dakota didn't remember the meeting, and said, "That's so crazy that I don't remember meeting you there. It feels like something substantial happened to me that night and I'm blocking it out". And, Pedro admitted he was disappointed that she didn't remember him 10 years later. He said, "Well, I loved you the first time and then I didn't think you were that nice to me at the Met Gala. You weren't mean, but I was building the interaction of having already met you. And I had a moment of feeling a little stupid because it was like, 'Oh, she doesn't remember me.' The hurt that I felt at the Met Gala was connected to love". Dakota replied, "I find the Met Gala is like The Twilight Zone. I don't know what the f*** is going on. I don't feel I connect with any human beings in a real way; it's like going into some sort of vortex. By the way, this is not the first time I've had this conversation with you". "This is maybe the 37th time we've had this conversation. The 37th time Pedro makes me feel like an absolute piece of s*** for not remembering him. My first impression of you was, 'Wow, this guy is so cool. What a nice man that I've definitely never met before'. And then I loved you very quickly", she added.
