Dakoka Johnson Recalls Her Time On ‘The Office’ Set
Dakota Johnson’s early acting career opportunities didn’t always end up being a good experience for the actress. During a recent appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, the Madame Web star was reminded of co-starring with the host. Meyers shared a still from his appearance on the super-popular sitcom The Office. The show used Meyers as his Saturday Night Live Weekend Update character to make fun of Ed Helms’ character during the episode. As Johnson, 34, took that in, she cheekily admitted, “God, that was honestly the worst time of my life.” The audience and Meyers both erupted into laughter, shocked at the actress’ reaction. Both she and Meyers guest-starred in the hit NBC show’s final episode.
The Fifty Shades of Grey star then stated: “I love that show so much.” Without missing a beat, Meyers replied, “Of course!” Retelling how the show approached her to be in the series finale after 14 seasons, Johnson was like, “Of course.” Thinking that she would only need to commit “like half a day,” Johnson ended up on the set of Dunder Mifflin for two weeks. “And I’m barely in the f—ing show,” she pointed out to the late-show host. As she looked at the crowd, Seth asked her if the cast was “super sad” as well, with the show coming to an end. Agreeing with Seth, Dakota added that there were “weird dynamics that had been going on for the last ten years. Some people didn’t speak to each other.” Meanwhile, she was overly chipper, expressing at the time she was “So excited to be here!”
With her dry sense of humor, Johnson said the cast of The Office didn’t want to talk to her and “no one gave a f—.” In the final cut of the series finale, Johnson ended up being in the background “of all of these scenes, faxing things.” In an attempt to make her feel better, Seth jumped in to praise her faxing skills, describing it as “some of the most believable faxing I’ve ever seen.”
Madame Web swings into theaters on February 14. Watch the trailer below:
