Dakota Johnson reminisces about her career in a new interview, starting with her first adult role in 2010’s The Social Network.
The 34-year-old daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson made her film debut as a child in her mother’s 1999 film Crazy in Alabama, and she was just 19 when she filmed The Social Network.
Johnson was in just one scene where she talks to Justin Timberlake’s Sean Parker in her dorm at Stanford, which she talks about in a new interview with Vanity fair.
When asked if she had any “prejudices” about Timberlake’s production, the actress – who was recently spotted at a Gucci party in Milan – admitted she did, as she revealed what he was like on set.
She also shared a story about how her famous mother embarrassed her in front of none other than then-President Barack Obama.

“I was like 19 and I was straddling Justin Timberlake, and I had fun hitting him in the face with my hair,” she said of the first shot of her scene, in which she essentially woke Sean up.
“One hundred percent had prejudices, but he was sweet and kind and very welcoming to someone who was just a stranger,” Johnson admitted.
When asked about the Stanford booty shorts she wore in the scene, she admitted that she didn’t get to keep them, but said they were “good little booty shorts.”
“I think we’ve done this so many times, because this was The Social Network and David Fincher, that I feel like I remember this and it’s happening now… maybe I was traumatized?” she added.
Fincher is a filmmaker known for pushing actors by shooting a huge amount of footage during production.
She closed the segment with a story about an event with her mother where they both met Barack Obama when he was President of the United States.
“This one time I was at my mother’s house and we met Barack Obama and it was a huge deal,” Johnson admitted.
“He was talking to her and she said, ‘Oh Mr. President, this is my daughter. She just made a movie, she’s an actress too. She was on The Social Network, she was wearing her underwear.’ And I died. I was dying inside,” Johnson joked.

Earlier this year, Johnson and Timberlake reunited when she hosted Saturday Night Live in January and Timberlake was the musical guest.
The actress was promoting her new film Madame Web, which hit theaters in February and earned $100 million worldwide.
She will next be seen in writer-director Celine Song’s Materialists alongside Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans, currently in post-production.
Johnson also has the comedy Splitsville starring Adria Arjona, Michael Angelo Covino and Kyle Marvin in pre-production.
