Dakota Johnson is reminiscing on her career in a new interview, starting with her first role as an adult 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 chats with Justin Timberlake’s Sean Parker in her Stanford dorm, which she opens up about in a new interview with Vanity Fair.
When asked if she had any ‘pre-conceived notions’ about Timberlake going into production, the actress – who was recently spotted at a Gucci party in Milan – admitted she had, while revealing how he was on set.
She also shared a story about how her famous mother embarrassed her in front of none other than then-President Barack Obama.

When asked about the Stanford booty shorts that she was wearing in the scene, she admitted that she was not allowed to keep them but said they were, ‘good lil booty shorts.’
‘I think that because this was The Social Network and David Fincher, we did this so many times that I feel like I remember this and it’s happening now… maybe I was traumatized?’ she added.
Fincher is a filmmaker notorious for pushing actors by doing a massive amount of takes during production.
She concluded 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 with my mom and we were meeting Barack Obama and it was a huge deal,’ Johnson admitted.
‘He was talking to her and she goes, “Oh, Mister President, this is my daughter. She just did a movie, she’s an actress too. She was in The Social Network, she was in her underwear.” And I died. I died inside,’ Johnson joked.
