Dakota Johnson has heaped praise on Taylor Swift
The 36-year-old actress stars in Taylor’s Patient Zero music video alongside Colin Farrell, and Dakota has heaped praise on her showbiz pal.
She told Extra: “It was so special … We’re so close and to be able to work with your friend and have it actually go well and then also, like, feed each other’s creative minds … She’s such a good director and she’s a true visionary.
“It was, like, easy for me to just, like, I don’t know, it was very symbiotic the way that we work.”
Dakota is now preparing to host Saturday Night Live, the long-running comedy sketch show, for a third time.
Looking forward to the challenge, Dakota shared: “I’m so excited. It’s truly my favourite place in the world. I just came from there.
“I was literally like wheeled down the hallway on like a little wheelie cart because I couldn’t walk that far in heels in my dress. So, that’s how I got here … I would never say it’s easy because it’s always nerve-wracking, but it’s so much fun.”
Meanwhile, Dakota recently revealed that she and Taylor talk about true crime “a lot”.
The brunette beauty – who plays a woman involved in an abusive relationship in the Patient Zero video – told BBC Radio 1’s Greg James: “Taylor and I are really good friends, and we talk a lot about everything, everything on the planet.
“A lot of that is true crime, and she’s a genius person, and if you talk about world-building, I think the inside of her mind is this miraculous, intricate wonderland.
“And so, she asked if I would do this, and of course, I’ll do anything with her; she’s the most fun.”
Dakota was among the guests at Taylor and Travis Kelce’s wedding at Madison Square Garden in July, and she cherished the experience.
The movie star said: “It was so like … everything she’s dreamed of. It just felt so completely her.”
