A full decade after Dakota Johnson helped bring erotic romances to the mainstream, she’s set to romance both Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans in Celine Song’s Materialists, which is perhaps the most snuggly-looking of all the upcoming A24 movies on the 2025 movie schedule and beyond. While promoting the movie, however, Johnson fesssed up to a prank that’s on the opposite end of the snuggly-wuggly spectrum. Because there’s nothing comforting or romantic about a gallon of gorilla shit, amirite?
Johnson wasn’t speaking about any of the scenes that will pop up in Materialists, thankfully, but was taking part in a Vanity Fair lie detector test, where she was asked a litany of questions about her career and personal life. Which led to the following hilarious exchange:
- INTERVIEWER: Speaking of friendship, you once sent a man who broke your friend’s heart a gallon of gorilla shit. Can you confirm or deny this happened?
- DAKOTA JOHNSON: I mean, there’s no way that he would watch this, so yes, I did do that. And it’s been quite a while. It’s been some years.
positive early reactions to Materialists would have mentioned those if they occur.
Take a look below at a trailer for the romantic comedy, which is a genre that Johnson and Pedro Pascal both take seriously.
Materialists hits theaters on June 13, and if you’re planning on taking a date to see it, a good move would probably be to make sure you can pinpoint and identify which of their friends seems most likely to spend money on delivering a gallon of shit to someone. And then you send THAT person a gallon of shit as a warning. Or maybe just go watch this movie without any of that other stuff.
