Dakota Johnson Takes a Lie Detector Test

If you can lift your arms straight up.

This is gonna go right here.

(sighs)

(chuckles)

Is that nervous laughter?

(both laugh)

Let me just come around here.

Why am I doing this to myself?

[Interviewer] Is your name Dakota Johnson?

Yes.

Is it going?

You're doing okay.

[Interviewer] Are you 28 years old?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Are you about to take a polygraph exam?

Yes.

[Interviewer] So, Dakota, we're gonna be

taking this real slow.

We really want the polygraph

to be able to read your vital signs.

How are you feeling?

Cool as a cucumber as they say.

[Interviewer] Up first, career.

Would you consider yourself a method actor?

No.

[Interviewer] Do you think method acting is dangerous?

No.

[Interviewer] If you weren't acting,

would you consider a career in Instagram modeling?

No.

(chuckles)

[Interviewer] Do you ever crack up

in the middle of an intense scene?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Have you ever been starstruck by a costar?

(laughs)

No.

Wait, him, specifically?

[Interviewer] Yeah.

No.

I don't remember.

Maybe at the time.

Yes?

[Interviewer] So you just played it cool?

Yes.

(chuckles)

[Interviewer] Would you consider being in a Marvel movie?

Yeah.

[Interviewer] Do you know what superhero you'd play?

Yes.

[Interviewer] And who would that be?

Aren't these yes or no questions?

[Interviewer] No, feel free to elaborate.

Catwoman.

But is that Marvel?

I don't think it is. No, that's DC.

That's DC.

Yeah, well, you can edit that out.

[Interviewer] I don't think so.

Okay, you can say I'm a liar, okay?

Big lie.

You're gonna be fine.

(chuckles)

[Interviewer] I know I get distracted

by Chris Hemsworth's abs,

when you were making this new movie, did you?

(chuckles)

Yes.

Get this outta here.

No one wants to look at that.

[Interviewer] And what about this man?

Did you find him distracting?

(laughs)

No.

No.

[Interviewer] Would you call Jon Hamm a charming man?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Would you call Jon Hamm a ham?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Was this the first time you ever held a gun?

No.

[Interviewer] Do you know how old you were

the first time you held a gun?

Eight?

I don't know.

[Interviewer] Wow, eight years old.

Are you afraid of guns?

No.

And yes.

Both, yes and no.

Is that just me thinking?

(chuckles)

Possibly. Okay.

[Interviewer] Up next, let's talk about 50 Shades of Grey.

Do you personally spell gray with an E or an A?

An E.

[Interviewer] You played Anastasia Steele

in the 50 Shades of Grey movie, correct?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Were you at all hesitant

about taking the role?

No.

[Interviewer] Did you read the books before filming?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Do you and Anastasia Steele

have anything in common?

No.

Yes.

[Interviewer] Well, which is it?

(chuckles)

Do you and Anastasia Steele like the same kinds of men?

No.

[Interviewer] Were there any awkward scenes to shoot?

Yes.

(chuckles)

Am I lying?

You're doing okay.

(laughs)

[Interviewer] Let's move on to essentials.

Would you call yourself a millennial?

Uh, yeah, technically, yes.

[Interviewer] Would you ever call yourself

a woke millennial?

No, I don't know what that means.

[Interviewer] It's like taking the red pill in The Matrix.

Oh.

Okay.

Um.

I would not refer to myself that way, no.

[Interviewer] Would you say you're a private person?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Have you ever had an experience

where a paparazzo crossed the line?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Do you ever Google yourself?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Like, frequently?

No.

[Interviewer] Do you ever hear a rumor

about yourself that isn't true?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Have you ever responded

to a troll on social media?

No.

[Interviewer] Would you?

No.

[Interviewer] Is it true that you once measured

how many bills would fit in the gap of your teeth?

Yes.

[Interviewer] At any point,

did you ever consider closing the gap?

No.

[Interviewer] Did you ever sneak out

of the house as a teenager?

No, my house was like Fort Knox.

[Interviewer] So you just never tried?

I don't think I really needed to try to.

I think I'd just leave out the front door.

(chuckles)

[Interviewer] Did you ever get grounded?

All the time, every day.

[Interviewer] So you were a dancer growing up, correct?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Do you ever dance when you are home alone?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Do you ever find yourself dancing

in the back of an Uber when a song comes on?

Um.

Sure.

Maybe not.

[Interviewer] Looks like you weren't sure about that one.

(laughs)

Have you ever danced in an elevator all by yourself?

Yeah.

[Interviewer] Have you ever tried to floss?

Um, no.

I mean, I can understand what your body does,

but I don't do it with my body.

(laughs)

[Interviewer] Now, let's talk about philosophy.

Do people always want what they can't have?

Yeah.

[Interviewer] Is there something that you want right now?

That I really want right now?

[Interviewer] Yeah.

(sighs)

A snack.

[Interviewer] We'll see.

Would you consider yourself to be spiritual?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Are you confident that something exists

that's greater than us?

Yes, whatever that may be.

[Interviewer] If you put positive thoughts

out into the universe,

do positive things usually come back to you?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Wow.

You seem very sure of that.

I believe it.

[Interviewer] Do you think every single person

has a purpose?

Yes.

[Interviewer] And do you know yours?

Yes.

[Interviewer] How confident are you

that your purpose is the right one?

90%.

[Interviewer] 90%?

Am I lying?

You're telling the truth.

See, I'm telling the truth.

[Interviewer] Is beauty really in the eye of the beholder?

Yes.

[Interviewer] Is there a chance

that all of this is a simulation?

No.

[Interviewer] Do you believe that there's any chance

that this is a simulation?

All of life?

[Interviewer] Yeah, all of life.

That would be such a bummer.

No, I refuse to believe that.

[Interviewer] Do you think technology

is destroying our ability to communicate?

I don't think it's destroying the ability to communicate.

I think it makes communication easier.

I think it makes connection more difficult.

[Interviewer] Can you ever separate

the art from the artist?

I can.

People go through things.

Yes.

[Interviewer] Are you or anyone in your family

part of the Illuminati?

No.

(chuckles)

[Interviewer] Final question.

At any point in this interview,

did you lie and we didn't catch you?

No.
