Dakota Johnson Prioritizes Self-Care by Avoiding Watching Her Latest Movie
In a surprising move, Dakota Johnson has revealed that she will not be watching her newest movie, “Madame Web.” The actress, known for her role in the “Fifty Shades of Grey” franchise, shared her reasoning during an interview with MagicFM earlier this week. While she initially stated that she probably won’t see the film, she later mentioned that she might watch it someday.
However, Johnson clarified that her decision is not specific to “Madame Web” but rather a general preference to not watch any of her films. She explained that abstaining from viewing her own work is a way for her to avoid experiencing an existential crisis. For Johnson, not watching her movies is a form of self-care.
Interestingly, Johnson is not alone in adopting this strategy. Other actors such as Meryl Streep, Adam Driver, Emma Stone, and Nicole Kidman have also admitted to avoiding screenings of their own projects. It seems that this practice helps them maintain a healthy mindset and distance themselves from the pressures and criticisms that come with being in the spotlight.
“Madame Web” features Johnson in the lead role as a clairvoyant paramedic. The film is loosely connected to Sony Pictures’ lineup of superhero movies, including the “Venom” series and the upcoming “Morbius” starring Jared Leto. Unfortunately, “Madame Web” has received lackluster reviews so far, earning a mere 13% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
While the movie may not have garnered critical acclaim, Johnson’s decision to prioritize self-care is commendable. It’s clear that she values her mental well-being and understands the importance of setting boundaries in an industry that can be demanding and overwhelming.
In addition to her stance on watching her own films, Johnson also revealed her aversion to Googling herself. When asked if she ever searches for her own name online, she emphatically responded with a resounding “No! God no.” It seems that Johnson prefers to maintain a healthy distance from the noise and opinions that can arise from the internet.
As fans eagerly anticipate the release of “Madame Web,” they can respect Johnson’s decision to prioritize her own well-being. By choosing not to watch her own movies, she is taking a proactive approach to self-care and setting an example for other actors in the industry. Johnson’s commitment to maintaining a healthy mindset is a reminder that taking care of oneself should always be a top priority, regardless of one’s profession.
