- Dakota Johnson stops by TODAY to talk about her new film “Madame Web,” her career since starring in “50 Shades of Grey,” growing up with actor parents Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, and why she "jumped" at the chance to poke fun at nepo baby criticisms. She also reveals that her father cut her off as she perused acting instead of a college degree.

Everyone who wants to be an actor, who doesn’t have parents or relatives in the acting industry, find nepotism “annoying” too.
It is in every industry. My son got his first job through his Godmother. His second he earned and his permanent through a frat brother. It’s the way the world works. Why shouldn’t it be in the movie industry? It gets you in the door but talent keeps you.
@@maurawhelan3530 I think most of us understand that people can help out relatives. I actually got my first job in a store because my mother had worked under that manager. But then, just own it--or at least acknowledge it. I would point out that there are plenty of talented people who can't get in the door.
It’s like a knife thru the gut every day
Not really because I was a nepo college kid.
Dakota didn't get any help from her parents financially. She got advise when she asked for it. She is massively, consistently.hilarious !
Like her lots and I can't say that about many now with the way hollywood is !
.
Masywna???? Chyba b,szczupła i drobna, może chciałeś powiedzieć dzielną???? 😮
Nepo babies need to own their title. It gets a foot in the door and that chance is a huge help. IMO, most people who have connections would take that opportunity. After that its all about the work...the production will either like your work or not. And ultimately the audience will definitely let them know if they have any talent. So, it isn't annoying or boring... Saying that is being lame.
For as far as we've come, the preponderance of children follow their parents into their professions, particularly in the U.S. It is what it is. The (I think) rare instances of children being propped up is a scourge, tho.
Her response to the nepotism is kind of annoying. She obviously had a substantial advantage and idk why she downplays it instead of just owning it
im glad someone said it. it almost sounded like she was poking more fun at the nepo baby title than being a nepo baby? weird
She would be an uneducated, unknown Starbucks barista living with five roommates to pay the rent if she didn’t have famous parents.
Agree,Didn’t she decide to start like 2 seconds ago..I used to be so envious of nepo celebs but now seeing how jaded/privileged it makes you is pretty depressing how you can see them lying to themself “I’m glad I can stand on my own artistic merits without anyone other than myself, it must be mentally exhausting doing that many mental gymnastics and logic knots on how you are the most deserving/talented person in the room when there’s zero evidence” I’d be embarrassed if I only had half the bad movie reviews as she dose
What is she supposed to do. Change her parents???
@@SeanTube2099
Exactly! Although nothing compares to making it on your own, if we were in her shoes, we would probably welcome whatever comes with her privileges. I believe we all use whatever privilege we have, one way or an other... Rather it's beauty, a brilliant brain, skin color, gender, being born in certain countries, coming from a good family, having wealthy parents,or having loving parents.... She seems to have a lot of these privileges, but that's also good for her... She is a lucky woman, but she also seems really kind.
Her hairstyle is beautiful. Perfect for her. Great stylist.
Nepo baby-is not about what your family gives/gets you. It's about what your family name gets you. Your family may have "cut you off" but the name gets you in the door. Don't pretend it doesn't make a difference. Not just in the entertainment world. It makes a difference in all types of situations. I don't blame anyone for using their connections, but please don't pretend they don't exist. There are all kinds of situations where connections help. Celebrities don't live in the real world. Our kids had a leg up due to certain connections we had and we're not talking celebrity or wealth, but other connections via career paths. I don't blame them, but seriously, don't act like you did it all on your own. The name Griffin and Johnson in Hollywood carry a lot of weight. Nepotism exists. I don't really care, but quit playing the "annoyed" crap..
Ambatukam
Hoda forgot to mention Tippi Hedron is her maternal grandmother
who? The crazy lion and tiger lady!
*Hedren
We know we didn’t needed to be told by her or you.
Well, if she wasn't good enough, she wouldn't have lasted. She's just luckier than most of us to have had a jump start, the rest is pretty normal.
Melanie Griffith is her mother and Antonio banderas is the stepfather who raised her lol
I love Dakota. She's so beautiful, lovely and down to Earth. Wish her all the best always!
Johnson ruined her career with this idiotic movie
Right. It'slike no successful actor ever makes a bad movie. 😅😅😅
for sure; I'm sure she will recover :P@@thatsixtiesgirl7809
of COURSE she doesn't want to talk about how if you're born into Hollywood you have an easier time becoming an actress.... as nepo babies go though she's one of the better ones!!! I adore her entire energy
lol she says her dad cut her off but we're forgetting that her mom is a famous, rich af actress too who is also the daughter of a Hollywood legend or whatever (I really only saw her in The Birds). Like Dakota, you were and always will be rich, and let me guess, your "modeling" consisted of telling Gucci you're the daughter of famous people and they handed you a $50K check for just showing up
Yeah her mum was giving her money
@@Skyebright1that's really an unusual thing for a mom to do
plus her first start was in a movie made by ANTONIO BANDERAS who (wait for it) happened to be her step dad and starred (wait for it again) her mom
@@JOMprodOfficial while talking of her ACTUAL FATHER
Żenujące bzdury, taka firma na pewno wyciąga swoje sprawy finansowe na afisz!!!!!! 😢😢😢😢I zdradza tajemnice zatrudniania modelek, trzeba upaść na głowę żeby wypisywać takie bzdury, jakby chodziło o inną aktorkę to wszyscy by piali!! z zachwytu a Dakocie trzeba "dołożyć" i ja krytykować to już staje się normą ale też i wkurza, czy to jakaś zazdrość i zawiść z waszej strony😩😩😩😩
I like her ❤
Dakota is the definition of lovely. ❤
She is. It's just sad seeing her waste her talents on that movie. By comparison, 50 shades seems a thousands times better.
@@Factboy12I love fifty shades grey. And there are many fans .
@@Factboy12 Oh no...have not seen Madame Web but NOTHING is worse than The 50 shades movies. They are just a blatant insult to intelligence everywhere.
@@jesperjee I'm sure Madame Web will be worse. It'll be Morbius mixed with latest feminist ideology.
As a matter of fact, this movie will be "ideology" first and "movie" second.
@@Factboy12 Still....it CAN'T be worse than 50 shades. They are even worse than Anyone but you.
Love these media promos with Dakota for Madame Web. Just watching everything available online 😅
After seeing her in 50 shades, I don't blame him lol
What's wrong with her and the movie.
It was a decent movie to me.
@@arfriedman4577I enjoyed her in that movie too, but I wouldn't have if she was my daughter.
I like Dakota, but I could do without the movie. Not saying that her acting was bad, nor was Jaime's, but it's not my cup of tea.
@@N_Ides Why would you watch a bdsm movie that your daughter was starring in?
@@TP-pq9xx That’s the point. That’s why we would agree with Don Johnson.
She's cute and she's funny.
I’m sure he wouldn’t let her be out on the streets. She’s a nepo baby and these people take opportunities away from people who are really trying to work hard to make it
She may also have been working hard. Who knows? It's just annoying that she doesn't recognize that she got an advantage by having parents, at least one grandparent and one step-parent who are in the business.
Her mum gave her money, she was fine
I don't think she doesn't know the advantages she just doesn't find the news on that.
I don't think she likes any of the movies she's been in, but I guess you take the roles you offered.
She says the same things about 50 Shades of Grey
Because the movies she's been in so far are garbage and she seems to be aware of that.
I’m sure she had a lot of connections to get started with her amazing career. She has two successful actor / actress parents. She is lucky. I do think it’s ridiculous to get mad at someone who was born into wealth but those who are need to acknowledge the difference of help they have getting started in the industry compared to those who really started with nothing and reached her level of success
She is adorable! I got a job once bc of my FIL. He was an executive and was able to get me on with the company. He left 2 years later and about a year after that, I got a huge promotion. 10 years later, I moved away and the company tried to talk me in to staying. I got the job with some help. I kept it bc I deserved it. It’s not uncommon to get a job with some help. It’s up to you to keep it. The industry wouldn’t hire her, if she was great at her job.
I love Dakota so much. She seems sweet and down to earth
This was my experience seeing Madame Web:
The group of 4 teenage year old girls who was sitting next to my friends and me were being obnoxious the whole time, chatting and taking pictures with flash on. They got up and left at one point (so we thought)
A little over halfway through the movie, an employee comes up to my friends and me and accused us of smoking in the theater and threatened to kick us out, even though we most definitely were not smoking. About 5 minutes after the confrontation, the people in front of us get up and leave and never come back.
Once the movie ends and we’re walking out of the theater, we notice the group of teenage girls had just moved seats to another part of the theater. So they likely knew they were going to get snitched on and moved seats, so we got the blame…it was a wild movie going experience.
Oh and the movie was awful. Probably the worst I’ve seen in the past decade
Thank you for your testimony.
😮
BIEDNY!!! współczuć czy płakać???? 😅😅😅
Bravo por esta hermosa Actriz. 🎉❤
Jest piękna, mądra dowcipna, przyjazna, niezależna, ma obłędna figurę i olsniewa kreacjami, ma olbrzymie wyczucie smaku i zawsze wygląda olsniwajaco ❤❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🌹
with great power comes great Responsibility.
He probably knew she had no talent for acting. She’s just awkward and people think it’s cute.
I saw an interview with her father years ago and I guess he does this with all of his kids their choices are go to college and continue to get his support or get cut off at 18 or whenever you drop out college. Dakota from what he said was the only one who said no to schooling and got cut off. I don't think he completely cut her off though. Plus her mother and stepdad probably helped her out too.
I hope she goes a long way with playing Madame Web . So proud of her for going out and making a life for herself.
❤❤❤😂 Казахстана
😂😂😂😂
what did you think of the movie
Hoda….I just love how sweet she is to everyone……Jenna is so rude to people…..I want to be best friends with HODA……Dakato is so pretty and so funny…she is tooo precious….she is the real deal!
Just say it, my parents are famous, why would I need to get jobs on my own 🤣 This is plain funny and dumbfounding when they all pretend to have struggles in terms of getting jobs.
I❤dakota
Dakota Johnson is a very pretty girl.
"This show, Madame Web". Yeah, not a show.
Not a movie either …it’s a POS 💩
that was disrespectful imo, makes the interviewer come off as totally inauthentic
She is so beautiful.
she is sooo nice
Her mom and step dad had millions, I don’t for a minute ever think she was broke.
Yeah her mum was giving her money
it should had been a 12 episode netflix series
with andrew garfield [amazing spider-man] as the 2nd main character.
I agree. 100 percent. I literally fell asleep in the first 15 minutes.
So her rich Dad cut her money off and her mom had to buy her some groceries? Aw, poor baby. It must have been so hard. 🙄
She wasn’t whining about it. She was laughing.
@@LP-tu8li Why do you think her and her dad haven't been extremely close in years? Girl holds grudges against people like there's no tomorrow.
@@Tigers_and_TarotNone of us know their relationship personally. Family relationships are hard.
I never noticed how much her voice resembles Gwyneth Paltrow's. I was in the other room and was surprised when I saw who was taking.
I love her dad, and love her! Funny how he cut off her allowance if she wouldn’t go to college. ❤
Glad she loves her job and wasnt tortured in the role...
Karmically speaking...
Maravilhosa arrasou ❤❤❤❤
She’s so gorgeous 😍
I like dakota, she's my favorite, when she spoke,, she's really amazing on her role. 😂
I just love her.
Dakota Johnson would NEVER have made it in Hollywood without nepotism. She is not a good actress and I’m glad people are starting to see it. Just the trailer for Madam Web was so hard to watch her monotone acting. Without her parents, she would not have her career and saying the conversation around Neop Babies is lame, just shows how privileged her nepo baby self is.
Shus
She is 35 year old plz don't call baby 😮
You can also say that about the "Supermodels" of today, all being children of celebrities!!! I don't even need to name names!!!
Agree. Is she ever in character?? It’s like she’s always playing herself
@@rachelteeuws1241 only good thing about her is she look good
I’m in love with Dakota Johnson ❤️💗🫶🏻😍🥰😘💋🌹👠👠.
She's horrible at acting, horrible
There’s nothing wrong with nepotism, just as long as you earn your place at the table and keep it through your own talents. Just because someone can make connection, set up a meeting, or help you find an opportunity to try does not mean its a bad thing. People do this all the time, except usually it’s called networking, because it’s not always a blood relative helping you out.
Sounds like a good dad to me.
Whoever does her makeup does an amazing job
They may be not on friend level but NOBODY can change the fact THEY LOOK ALIKE!!!!!!!!
She look exactly like her Dad. Same body movements (masculine), for action anyway.
She has fantastic posture.
Stunning and a very good actress but she shouldn't be afraid to switch up her hairdo to give her character variety. She did it on SNL and was fabulous. I didn't even recognise her.
I’m glad she’s doing well, but she was miscast in 50 Shades. After reading the books, the casting choices were questionable.
It's weird that the interviewer is laughing so much when asking questions about her father....🙄...Very Strange and Rude ! 😏🤔
So she wasn’t cut off. Mom gave her money and probably other family members too.
Weird awkward interview
This young lady is too funny and she is very self effacing and real. Love that about her! Very grounded! Smart, funny and charming, her Momma should be extremely Proud!
Oh, Yea! Her grandmother was beautiful and lovely!
She might want to go back and beg Don Johnson for forgiveness after this movie.
anyone know what the meaning is behind the number on the sign the guy in the window is holding?
I was waiting for him to get tackled down.
I looked it up. It is the ISBN number for a book about the trial of Julian Assange. Pretty clever way to promote it, I think! That way the police won’t come and move them on.
I liked the way the cameraman kept trying to avoid him
Of course Nepo Baby is annoying to her… she’s it.
And it's also not her fault that her parents are famous.
I TOTALLY believe that, TOTALLY. Just like I believe Tori spelling went through the audition process without anyone knowing who she was and that she really earned it. Btw there hasn’t been one Dakota Johnson performance that I’ve seen that’s been worth anything. Nepotism at its best
She appears very mature now, much more grown up. Good for her.
Woah, looks scary! Love Dakota, and can’t wait to see it!❤
She’s amazing a true queen 😌
Love Dakota Johnson. What a sweetheart.
Pretty nepo baby.
she's also talented
And
I actually didn't know who her parents were until just now, but I saw today that Sony was pulling Madame Web for how poorly it was performing at the box office. I also saw that Dakota admitted that she doesn't fit into the superhero world. And she doesn't. Many of the problems with the movie, that I saw a few days ago, have nothing to do with her, but she also did it no favors. Wooden delivery, no charisma, I just couldn't connect with her.
Sucesso princesa você merece ❤❤❤❤
Don knew what would happen. Movie bombed 😮
all 9 of them?
Kind and beautiful 🤩❤
She’s beautiful, smart and with a wonderful personality. She must have some crazy habits or something?
Dark hair suits best her❤
Hey, it comes off
I'll be surprised for the actress Dakota Johnson!!
Beautiful and great sens of style.
her boyfriend must watch and smile deeply.
She is so fit.
And so horrible at acting
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🫀🧠🫁🧘
@maitherapeutisc jealousy is misery
She kinda looks like Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Madame Web seems similar to Final Destination
I've seen it, it's not similar at all
I would say it seems more like The Dead Zone with Christopher Walken.
She looks different. Cheekbones ,eyes…
I guess she has gotten a little older, more mature. I think she is better looking than when she was in 50 Shades. Maybe it’s the makeup.
She says her Dad cut her off but that doesn't mean her mom Melanie Griffith did. Her Dad could have just have been the higher financial supporter.
Yeah her mum was giving her money
Don has some hot genetics. Dakota is sublime.
Considering the kind of flicks that she’s making, I don’t blame him
what even is the number the guy was holding through the window, I mean it’s too long to be a phone number right?
I looked it up. It is the ISBN number for a book about the trial of Julian Assange. Pretty clever way to promote it, I think! That way the police won’t come and move them on.
04:55 wow. Just, wow. Her response to that question tells you everything you need to know about her insane level of privilege that she can find nepotism a 'boring' topic when she works in one of the industries most infamously plagued by nepotism.
I agree, if I was her I would admit I had a platform to help my acting career. Look at Will Smith's kids, worst actors. Under any other circumstances they wouldn't be actors.
Nepo in the purist sense. Famous parents plus great looks. And her rich dad cut off her allowance! So tough...
@@franzschneider9416 And never mind her parents, many people forget her grandmother is Tippi Hendren -- Golden Globe winner, Hitchcock star, millionaire, etc. I really understand why her dad wanted her to go to college so bad. She seems bright but also self-indulgent and lazy.
@@stefmms6280 She has no empathy for people from less privileged backgrounds. But she also knows there are enough people like her at the top of the industry that she can't get cancelled for these offensive comments.
@@wiredcer she is like Kendall who denies the reason she is the top paid model is because she is a Kardashian/Jenner...
I think if I wanted to become an actor my dad would probably say 'well Andrew you going to have make it on your own" but luckily I didn't have to put that theory to the test.
I’m sure she’s wonderful, but wow what a turkey of a movie.
What a lovely women and I haven't even watched 50 shades so is a genuine comment.
Dakota Johnson would be great in a rom-comedy.
Shes the image of don johnson
Wow this is amazing find! I found something...
Just finished persuasion…she was great!
Lovely and witty. ❤
I like dakota. Shes pretty in a classic way.
I like to believe that horrible movie was not her fault but she needs to be accountable for her part. She could have picked up a comic book and studied the character.
The child of an actor gets to just decide that they want to be in movies. So talented though.
First Ugandan to comment. Jesus i just love dakota. She is just chill
Dakota Johnson in Persuasion was the best. Netflix
Agree, being able to see the future would be a burden. Who is going to change direction on the word of a stranger?
Ohhh noooo the acting in that clip 💀
Such a beautiful, interesting woman😊
Great movie i liked it
Really love her Dad, Don Johnson, she looks a lot like him.
