‘Materialists’: Dakota Johnson wooed by Chris Evans, Pedro Pascal
A matchmaker (Dakota Johnson) finds herself in a love triangle with her ex (Chris Evans) and a wealthy new guy (Pedro Pascal) in “Materialists.”
Mother-daughter duo Melanie Griffith and Dakota Johnson had a rare flashy night out for a Hollywood event.
Griffith, 68, supported her firstborn daughter at the premiere of Johnson’s newest film, “Splitsville,” at The Grove in Los Angeles on Aug. 19. The two took a few moments to pose on the red – well, beige – carpet together, sharing an embrace, clasping hands and admiring each other’s outfits (Johnson was in Gucci).
Johnson, 35, is the daughter of “Working Girl” actress Griffith and “Miami Vice” star Don Johnson.
Johnson, who has a producer credit on “Splitsville,” also took photos with costars Adria Arjona, Nicholas Braun, Michael Angelo Covino (also the director and co-writer), and actor/writer Kyle Marvin.
The comedy, which follows an open marriage that goes awry, debuted in May at the Cannes Film Festival and opens in theaters nationwide on Sept. 5.
Though it’s rare for the mother and daughter to show up together at high-profile events, Griffith has shown herself to be an ardent supporter of her daughter’s career.
At an early press screening of “The Materialists” that USA TODAY attended in May, Johnson told the crowd in the intimate West Hollywood screening room that, though she was under the weather and unable to stick around for the entire event, her mother and her older brother, Jesse Johnson, were staying to watch the Celine Song film.
A segment of Johnson’s career where Griffith’s support wavered, however, was the “Fifty Shades” franchise that made Johnson a box office star.
“I don’t think I can watch R-rated Fifty Shades of Grey,” Griffith said in a live interview on the red carpet for the 2015 Academy Awards, adding: “I think it will be strange.”
The clip went viral as Johnson looked offended while standing next to her mother.
“No, I don’t think so; I think it’s fine,” Johnson said. “I think that one day you can see it.”
In a 2014 sit-down with Mario Lopez for Extra TV, Griffith said, “I’m never going to see the movie myself. I don’t think Don will ever see the movie. It will just be too awkward.”
But by 2016, Griffith revealed she’d taken a peek at “Fifty Shades,” telling E! News that she’d seen “a little bit” of the film.
“I just can’t quite bring myself to watch the love scenes,” she said.
