Los Angeles [US] : American actor Dakota Johnson has decided not to watch her most recent film, ‘Madame Web,’ and her explanation may surprise some.
CNN reported that the diva, who played the title character in the new superhero film ‘Madame Web,’ told MagicFM earlier this week that she has no idea when she will see the film, vacillating between saying she probably won’t see it and vaguely claiming that she will someday.
However, Johnson clarified that it is not about ‘Madame Web’ particularly and that she does not “like to” see any of her flicks.
“For me, it’s a way to not have, like, an existential crisis,” the ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ actor explained.
“Not watching my movies is like self-care.”
Johnson is hardly alone among actors who use this method. Meryl Streep, Adam Driver, Emma Stone, Nicole Kidman, and others have stated that they avoid watching their work.
‘Madame Web’ stars Johnson as a clairvoyant paramedic and is tenuously linked to Sony Pictures’ picture slate, which includes both the ‘Venom’ films and 2022’s ‘Morbius’ starring Jared Leto.
‘Madame Web’ has received negative reviews, with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 13 per cent, as per CNN.
When it comes to self-care, at least Johnson understands the correct answer to the question, “Do you Google yourself?”
“No! God no,” the daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson told MagicFM this week. “Oh my god, no.”
