Dakota Johnson's refreshingly honest dating standard is making waves! While promoting her new film, "Materialists," on TODAY with co-star Chris Evans, Johnson revealed her one relationship non-negotiable: "Like, not an a------."
The hilarious and straightforward comment drew laughter from the TODAY crew, with Evans quipping, "That's concise." The exchange occurred after Craig Melvin, the TODAY host, asked Johnson and Evans what their dealbreakers would be when describing their perfect match.
Evans humorously stated his non-negotiable: "Must love dogs. Gotta love dogs. If you're not a dog person, what are we doing?" Melvin then pointed out to Johnson that she met that criteria.
Johnson's candid remark comes amid swirling rumors of a split from Chris Martin after an eight-year, on-again-off-again relationship. Reports suggest the breakup "feels final this time." Despite the personal news, Johnson remains focused on promoting "Materialists," a romantic comedy where she plays a matchmaker caught in a love triangle between Pedro Pascal and Evans.
"Materialists": Love, Loss, and Finding Yourself
In "Materialists," Johnson's character, Lucy, is described as “extremely focused, very professional, very good at her job” but neglecting her own heart. The film explores her journey of self-discovery and understanding what's genuinely important in life.
Evans added that the film delves into how societal norms that once held marriages together have eroded, leading to a more calculated approach to love. This lighthearted yet insightful exploration of modern relationships is set to hit theaters on June 13th.
Adding another layer to the narrative, Chris Martin recently showed public support for Johnson. At a Coldplay concert in Las Vegas, he encouraged the audience to see "Materialists." A concertgoer shared the moment on TikTok, highlighting Martin’s gesture amid the breakup rumors.
So, whether you're looking for a laugh, a relatable dating rule, or a new rom-com to watch, Dakota Johnson is delivering on all fronts. "Materialists" promises a comedic and heartfelt look at love in the modern age, and Johnson’s refreshing honesty is just the cherry on top.
