Pedro Pascal and Dakota Johnson’s playful rapport has been stealing the spotlight as they gear up for the release of Materialists. Their natural chemistry was on full display during a rapid-fire segment with Vogue, where the two stars exchanged hilarious anecdotes about on-set injuries. While the interview was meant to be a quick-fire Q&A, it turned into a moment of comedic gold thanks to Johnson’s unexpected and brutally honest revelation.
When Johnson asked Pascal if he had ever been injured while filming, the Last of Us actor began to recount his experiences—only for Dakota to suddenly interject with a deadpan confession that she had sustained whiplash while shooting Fifty Shades of Grey. Her timing, paired with Pascal’s uncontrollable laughter, instantly became the highlight of the interview. He doubled over in laughter, calling it his favorite moment, while Johnson herself couldn’t help but giggle at her own perfectly delivered answer.
Johnson, who played Anastasia Steele in the intense and physically demanding Fifty Shades trilogy, clarified that the injury came from being thrown off a bed multiple times while trying to nail a scene. Though the moment was born out of real pain, the way she shared it—so casually and with such perfect comedic timing—left both Pascal and fans in stitches.
As for Materialists, the film promises more of this electric dynamic, with Johnson starring alongside Pascal and Chris Evans. The trio has been making headlines not just for their star power but for their off-screen antics during press appearances. In one particularly memorable moment, Johnson and Evans were spotted jokingly kissing a life-size cutout of Pascal on the red carpet, a playful nod to the bond they’ve built while promoting the film.
Whether on-screen or off, Dakota and Pedro’s banter continues to charm audiences, hinting that Materialists might be just as much fun as their behind-the-scenes moments.
