Dakota Johnson Says Her Legendary Grandma, Tippi Hedren, Has ‘13 or 14’ Lions and Tigers

The High Note, now available on premium VOD, sees Tracee Ellis Ross star as fictional diva Gracie Davis alongside Dakota Johnson as her assistant, Maggie. The pair sat down with The Hollywood Reporter remotely to discuss where they turned for inspiration and why viewers will love their movie.

Dakota Johnson is speaking out.

Dakota Johnson was forced to pick between her Fifty Shades co-star Jamie Dornan and his character Christian Grey and she picked Jamie. The 30-year-old actress recently played a round of Would You Rather? on Comedy Central. During the fun game, she was asked who she would she rather be in an erotic book club with Dornan or Grey. She said she would join the club with the 38-year-old actor because he is a lot funnier than Christian.

Next-door neighbors Dakota Johnson and Jimmy Kimmel caught up during Thursday's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! Ditching the common late-night format of video chatting, Johnson and Kimmel remained 12 feet away from each other. They stood in their own yards as a fence separated them.

The film follows Dakota's character Maggie, who works as an assistant to Tracee Ellis Ross's Grace. Grace is a major musician living in L.A., so as you can imagine, Maggie's life as her personal assistant is...

Spilling all! Dakota Johnson was asked to do the impossible: pick between Jamie Dornan and his Fifty Shades of Grey character, Christian Grey.

Jimmy Kimmel happens to be next-door neighbors with Dakota Johnson, which is pretty convenient for a talk show host who can’t come within six feet of his guest.

Is it possible to choose between Jamie Dornan and Christian Grey? Just ask Dakota Johnson. The High Note star had pick between her Fifty Shades of Grey co-star and his alter ego while playing a game of "Would You Rather" during her virtual visit to Stir Crazy with Josh Horowitz, where she was asked who she'd enlist to join an erotic book club with her.

Dakota Johnson has opened up on what it’s like at her grandmother Tippi Hedren’s home – with her “13 or 14 lions and tigers.” The Birds actress was the subject of a famous 1971 article, At Home With Tippi Hedren, Melanie Griffith and a 400-Pound Lion, detailing her life surrounded by big cats. During an appearance on Friday’s instalment of Britain’s The Graham Norton Show, Johnson revealed Hedren used to keep the animals loose in the house when her mom Griffith was growing up there.

In the new movie “The High Note”, Dakota Johnson plays a production assistant who dreams of becoming a music producer. Her character’s on-screen aspirations aren’t too far from her own as the movie parallels the actress’ desire to direct — something she recently accomplished by directing Coldplay’s music video for “Cry Cry Cry”.
