Vogue Australia October 2018Dakota Johnson Hollywood Royale, Giorgio ArmaniDakotaJohnson keeps gathering momentum: her upcoming films are compelling and latent with noir drama, fear and laughter, all infused with a warmth that comes naturally to the actress both on screen and in real life.Here, read the full cover story from Vogue Australia\'s October 2018 issue.
So we are conference-calling across the Pacific. “Hi, what time is it? What’s happening?”DakotaJohnson asks me.
I’m on Hamilton Island during Race Week, and it’s so beautiful: bright blue days, superyachts and racing, lots of lychee martinis …
“So do you have a hangover?” she wonders. No!
“Australians don’t get hangovers,” she says with a laugh. Not normally: it is 11.45am.
Johnson is in her home in Los Angeles. “It’s a beautiful home. I’m so lucky to live in a house like this, it’s like a treehouse/boathouse. It’s really special – I always feel it’s too nice for me.” Her home is by mid-century modern architect Carl Maston, and was completed in 1947. “The interior’s been updated, but other than that the skeleton and the structure is the same. I love being here. It does inspire me. I have an office in my house. It’s the first time I’ve ever had a real workspace, with everything I love to do, all of my paints, charcoal and things and my books; there are loads of bookshelves. It’s a beautiful place to be. It’s really green and there are lots of birds and I feel like Snow White.
“It’s nice to have a home base. I don’t spend a lot of time here – I’m always travelling – but it’s nice to know there is a place I can always go. I don’t know if I will ever sell it, even if it becomes a complete office space. It’s such a special little house.”
Johnson has been acting since she was 10 years old, but really has been in show business all her life. It is in her blood: her father is Don Johnson, her mother is Melanie Griffith, and her maternal grandmother is Tippi Hedren. She has over two dozen film roles in her filmography thus far. And now, at age 28, it feels as if she is really hitting the sweet spot, with two diverse and fascinating films to be released before the end of the year.
I’ve just watched the trailer for Suspiria, a re-make of Dario Argento’s 1977 cult horror classic, now directed by Luca Guadagnino (Call Me by Your Name), and it is nail-bitingly scary. “It’s kind of twisted,” Johnson says. The poster is equally disturbing – starring an innocent-enough-looking Johnson with the simple proposition: ‘Give your soul to the dance.’
