Dakota Johnson’s iconic bangs are usually maintained by her hairstylist Mark Townsend, but this week she showed up to The Run-Through podcast with ones she cut herself. “They're a little lopsided. One side's a bit longer. But we'll fix it later,” she told Chloe. Johnson’s reason for the self-inflicted cut is from the need to do something tactile herself. “Sometimes if I've had a cocktail, I'm like, "This is a good idea." And then other times it's, it's, it's telling of having some sort of existential crisis. Before I was going on this press tour, I was kind of like, I haven't been very public, and it's hard to be under a microscope and scrutinized. Like everything is watched, and now everyone is a spy, and everyone is the press.” Coming from a long line of famous blondes (her mom is famously Melanie Grittith, her grandmother is Tippi Hedron, and her dad is Don Johnson), Johnson grew up practically on set. Her first role was the 1999 comedy-drama Crazy in Alabama directed by her stepfather Antonio Banderas and she starred alongside her mom and her younger sister Stella. She didn’t pick up acting again until she was cast in David Fincher’s The Social Network eleven years later. Now she will star in the new horror film Verity opposite Anne Hathaway out October 2 and she’s excited about Three Incestuous Sisters which she recently wrapped in Rome that is still anticipating a release date. Johnson’s life outside of work often consists of reading books with her book club TeaTime, watching movies that she can’t help but judge under a critical lens, and also trolling her friends. “I think Jennifer [Lawrence] and I could be the ultimate internet trolls if we, A, had the time and, B, the interest.” The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.
