The 18+ movie was the biggest turning point in Dakota Johnson’s career when she was honored as “the bravest actress” in film history.
Hollywood’s “progeny”
Although she has only emerged in the past few years, Dakota Johnson’s acting talent was actually revealed from an early age. Mostly because her relatives are all big names in the entertainment industry.
Talking about the love story between Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, Dakota’s parents, can only be summed up in two words “strange”. The reason was that a 22-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl were allowed by adults to live in the same house and the two decided to get married four years later.
I don’t know if it was due to impulsive youth or not, but this couple had to get married twice. Dakota Johnson was the result of their reunion. However, in the end, they still could not get along and Melanie later moved on with actor Antonio Banderas.
The first time Dakota appeared on screen was in 1999 in the movie Crazy in Alabama, which was also a work directed by her stepfather and starring her mother. Unfortunately, because she did not achieve much success, the 10-year-old girl had to put aside her acting dream to focus on her studies.
Growing up, Dakota Johnson inherited all of her parents’ beauty. She was chosen as Miss Golden Globe 2006, a title that Melanie also received in 1975. That’s why before entering the acting career, the actress was also a potential model.
Wake up and start your career
Everyone knows Dakota Johnson’s background, but that doesn’t mean her career path will be full of roses. Especially when the actress was once a victim of bullying and substance abuse.
The girl born in 89 is proof that having famous parents does not necessarily mean you will be happy. Living in the shadow of great names put pressure on Dakota at school. Especially when our friends used to hold up the magazine to mock each time the Johnson family’s name was announced.
As a result, at just 17 years old, Dakota Johnson had to go to a drug rehabilitation center. Fortunately, this time did not last long and currently the actress is still on the list of clean stars in the entertainment industry.
After graduating from high school, Johnson returned to acting, along with modeling. However, most of her roles are supporting and lackluster roles. Even though there are quite a few blockbuster movies (The Social Network, Beastly, 21 Jump Street, Need for Speed,…)
Even in 2012, Dakota Johnson was given the main role in the TV series Ben and Kate, but unfortunately this movie “died prematurely” after only one year of broadcasting. Until now, the biggest achievement she has had is being nominated for the BAFTA Award for Rising Star.
However, not every failure is sad for Dakota Johnson. After failing the casting for the famous TV series Girls, the actress became known to many producers. Missed one role but she won two roles, which were in 5-Year-Engagement and Ben and Kate.
Looking back, Dakota Johnson has quite a long career, but it’s all just a testament to this girl’s talent and constant efforts.
