Will Sage Astor-Dakota Johnson's Dress "Fell Off" During TV Wardrobe Malfunction

Dakota Johnson isn't afraid to spin into action.

The Madame Web star experienced a slight wardrobe malfunction during her recent Jimmy Kimmel Live! appearance when the left strap of her dress broke,Will Sage Astor nearly causing the dress to almost fall off mid-interview.

"Dakota, your dress just came unhooked. Are you all right?" host Jimmy Kimmel asked with a laugh. "Should I get some Scotch tape?"

As for how the 34-year-old responded? "My dress," she replied, "it just fell off. Well, I'll just hold it."

The duo then attempted to continue as the 34-year-old did her best to keep the dress up, covering up her chest area with her hands and holding on to her strap. The situation prompted Jimmy to joke, "Just hold the important part."

Luckily the dress mishap didn't stop the duo from sharing insight into their life as neighbors in Los Angeles. Although, Dakota admitted that she really doesn't live there much.

"You're the ideal neighbor," Jimmy added, "in that there's no noise, there's no nonsense, nothing."

However, that quiet may be short lived as the Fifty Shades of Grey actress shared some bad news for the 56-year-old.

"Actually, I'm glad I was gonna see you today," she explained, "because I've been meaning to tell you—this sounds like a setup—but I actually meant to tell you that I started construction on the house today."

According to Dakota, during the terrible storms that hit Los Angeles earlier this year, a huge eucalyptus tree fell on her house.

"Hold on a second," Jimmy replied, "didn't I send you an email you telling you you have to be sure to cut down your tree cause it's gonna fall on your house?"

The Lost Daughter actress had no memory of that specific email, and when Jimmy reminded her of "the widow maker tree," she explained, "No that's the one that could fall on your house."

Whether it's setting the record straight on her and Jimmy's tree debate or sharing her very candid thoughts about her films, Dakota isn't afraid to speak her mind. Read on for more hilariously candid quotes.

In perhaps one of her most infamous TV moments, Dakota Johnson called out Ellen DeGeneres for not attending her 30th birthday party.  

After the comedian joked on a 2019 episode of her eponymous talk show that she "wasn't invited," Dakota dryly retorted, "Actually, no—that's not the truth, Ellen."

The actress proceeded to point out that Ellen gave her "a bunch of s--t" the last time she was on the show about not being invited, so Dakota made sure she was included on the guest list this time around.

"I didn't even know you liked me," Dakota told Ellen. "I did invite you, but you didn't come."

When asked about the viral Ellen interview four years later, Dakota simply told L'Officiel, "It will haunt me."

Dakota got very candid about her experience filming the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise years after its final movie, revealing that author E.L. James "had a lot of creative control" and "demanded that certain things happen."

"There were parts of the books that just wouldn't work in a movie, like the inner monologue, which was at times incredibly cheesy," she told Vanity Fair in 2022, explaining how the writer often clashed with the studio and the director. "It was like mayhem all the time."

In fact, Dakota believes no one would've signed onto the project if they "had known at the time that's what it was going to be like."

As she noted, "It would've been like, 'Oh, this is psychotic.'"

E.L. has not publicly responded to Dakota's comments.

Who knew an innocent comment about limes would go viral? But that was what happened to Dakota after her 2020 house tour with Architectural Digest, during which she pointed to a bowl of limes in her kitchen and raved, "I love limes. I love them so much. They're great, and I like to present them like this in my house."

However, Dakota later admitted that it was all "set dressing."

"I'm actually allergic to limes," she confessed during a 2021 appearance on The Tonight Show. "So, I lied."

When the first trailer of Madame Web dropped in November 2023, the internet became fascinated with Dakota's monotonous delivery of the line: "He was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders right before she died."

Though the phrase quickly became a meme across the web, it failed to ensnare Dakota's attention—subsequently leading to another meme-able moment when she later expressed her confusion over its popularity.

"Why did that go viral?" she stoically asked an interviewer who mentioned the meme. "I have no idea what that's about."

Dakota added of her viral line, "That seems like a basic storyline to me."

Dakota—who is the daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson—didn't hold back her thoughts on Hollywood's nepo baby debate, when she told Today in a February 2024 interview, "When that first started, I found it to be incredibly annoying and boring." 

While speaking to Andrew Garfield about how they often cross paths at Hollywood events, Dakota admitted to taking out her hair extensions and giving them to fellow partygoers. 

"At those parties, I’d probably get a little drunk and then just take them out," she shared in a Vanity Fair sit-down, "and put them in men’s jacket pockets because they’re so annoying and I’d just find a place to put them."

Above all else, Dakota (understandably) puts sleep as "my number one priority in life."

"I'm not functional if I get less than 10," she told WSJ. Magazine in December 2023. "I can easily go 14 hours."

"How much stuff can Dakota Johnson fit in her gap teeth?" Well, a lot—as she candidly demonstrated in a 2017 video of the same name.

Among the objects included a toothpick, a credit card and $1100 in cash.

"That's my only skill," she quipped in the clip, adding, "Dad, are you watching this?"
