Dakota Johnson, the American actress known for her roles in films like Fifty Shades of Grey, has recently revealed her specific criteria for selecting her next acting endeavor. In a candid discussion with Variety, Johnson openly shared what she seeks in upcoming productions.
“If there’s not a healthy collaboration, if it’s not a good match, then it’s not a good match,” she began. “We really don’t move forward if it’s not a good match.”
Johnson further elaborated, saying, “I can’t waste time on toxic sets anymore, or in situations that are not fun or fulfilling or healthy. That’s one of the perks of [producing], because I get to put amazing people together and make something.”
For those unaware, the Hollywood actress has recently concluded filming Celine Song’s directorial movie, Materialists, where she stars alongside A-list celebrities Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans.
Moreover, the 35-year-old actress informed the outlet that she is “pretty vocal” and cannot tolerate being around “anybody who’s mean or condescending or unkind.”
“I don’t want to face people who are not willing to collaborate, and then there are obvious things,” she continued. “We all know what a toxic set is by now. We’re artists, so there’s room for expansive personalities, and we’re working with emotions.”
Concluding her remarks, Dakota Johnson stated, “I love a healthy argument on a set, and I also believe that the most excellent idea wins. It’s not a fight. It’s not a race. It’s a collaboration.”
