#30: Melanie Griffith Discusses Fifty Shades of Grey

At the 2015 Oscars, Dakota Johnson and her mother, Melanie Griffith, found themselves in an awkward red carpet interview. When asked if she had seen Fifty Shades of Grey, Dakota’s breakout role, Griffith admitted she hadn’t and expressed discomfort about watching her daughter in such an intimate role.

Though she praised Dakota’s acting, the tension was evident as Johnson tried to convince her mother that it was fine to see the film. The moment became even more strained when Dakota jokingly snapped, “Alright! You don’t have to see it,” highlighting the uneasy dynamic during the public exchange.
