Dakota Johnson Went 'Crazy' Over Sandra Bullock's Message After Worst Actress Win
Dakota Johnson recently joined a special club of sorts after her Marvel superhero movie, 'Madame Web,' was panned by critics and audiences alike.
Johnson ended up winning a Razzie for Worst Actress for her role in the flop earlier this year. But luckily, she had an A-list pal to help her through the embarrassment.
'Recently, I actually exchanged texts — well, I got a voice note — from Sandra Bullock. I know, because I don't know if you know, but I won the Razzie for Worst Actress,' Johnson said during an appearance on Amy Poehler's new podcast, 'Good Hang.'
'Oh, my God, you did? Congrats!' Poehler said, adding, 'There's a lot of good people that have won that.'
Johnson joked that she won the award for 'this really good movie, called 'Madame Web.''
'I asked if they'd send [the Razzie] to me,' Johnson said of winning the award. 'But Sandra Bullock sent me a voice note being like, 'I heard you are in the Razzie club and we should have brunch ― we should have, like, a monthly brunch.' Because I guess she won that the year that she won the Oscar as well. It was in the same year, I think.' (Bullock won her Razzie in 2010 for the movie, 'All About Steve' and then, within days, won the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in 'The Blind Side.')
'But I freaked out getting this message from her because she's so iconic to me, as like, a movie star,' Johnson explained. 'I was like, 'Oh, my God.' I was just crazy.'
Johnson talked navigating successes and failures in her line of work and shared that most people in the business 'don't have control over how something turns out anymore.'
'I've signed on to a movie that is, by the end of shooting it, a completely different script than what I attached to, and that is a wild thing ― like a crazy journey to go on as an artist,' she said.
''Cause you're like, 'OK, I'm doing something with my actual body and my actual mind and my heart and my emotions' ... and it's just being taken and fucked with, but you can't do anything about it,' the actress added. 'Like, what am I going to do, fucking cry about 'Madame Web'? No. I'm gonna laugh about it.'
Johnson recently opened up about 'Madame Web' flopping in an interview with the Los Angeles Times.
The 'Fifty Shades of Grey' actor said the lack of success 'wasn't my fault' and shifted the blame to 'people who don't have a creative bone in their body.'
'It's really hard to make art that way. Or to make something entertaining that way,' she explained. 'And I think unfortunately with 'Madame Web,' it started out as something and turned into something else. And I was just sort of along for the ride at that point. But that happens. Bigger-budget movies fail all the time.'
