Dakota Johnson's energy hit a high note.

The 34-year-old revealed she got the extra push she needed after drinking Celsius during her time on set of her directorial debut Loser Baby. And, unbeknownst to her, Celsius is—checks notes—an energy drink.

"I discovered Celsius on day one of filming the short," she told Variety in an interview published Sept. 7. "I didn’t know that it was like Red Bull. I thought it was, like, a natural drink."

In fact, she attributed the uptick in her process to just being hyper-focused.

“I was like, ‘I’m so creative, I’m so inspired, I’m awake all night long, I’m not sleeping, because I’m just thinking—and it’s because I was having like two Celsius a day," the actress, engaged to Chris Martin, added, "I thought it was vitamins. I didn’t realize I was basically overdosing on caffeine.”

She only found out the truth when the film’s costume designer Katie Workinger told Dakota she wasn’t well.

“'You’re basically having, like, four Red Bulls a day,'" Dakota said of what Katie told  her, jokingly adding that it was "really upsetting" once she found out. “But now I know that in dire straits, there’s Celsius. And I am looking for an endorsement. So, Celsius, I’m your girl. Night shoots? They work really well.”

This, of course, wouldn't be the first time Dakota has made a hilarious confession. After all, she’s allergic to limes—just don’t tell Architectural Digest. What are we talking about? Read on to find out…

In perhaps one of her most infamous TV moments, Dakota Johnson called out Ellen DeGeneres for not attending her 30th birthday party.  

After the comedian joked on a 2019 episode of her eponymous talk show that she "wasn't invited," Dakota dryly retorted, "Actually, no—that's not the truth, Ellen."

The actress proceeded to point out that Ellen gave her "a bunch of s--t" the last time she was on the show about not being invited, so Dakota made sure she was included on the guest list this time around.

"I didn't even know you liked me," Dakota told Ellen. "I did invite you, but you didn't come."

 

When asked about the viral Ellen interview four years later, Dakota simply told L'Officiel, "It will haunt me."

Dakota got very candid about her experience filming the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise years after its final movie, revealing that author E.L. James "had a lot of creative control" and "demanded that certain things happen."

"There were parts of the books that just wouldn't work in a movie, like the inner monologue, which was at times incredibly cheesy," she told Vanity Fair in 2022, explaining how the writer often clashed with the studio and the director. "It was like mayhem all the time."

In fact, Dakota believes no one would've signed onto the project if they "had known at the time that's what it was going to be like."

As she noted, "It would've been like, 'Oh, this is psychotic.'"

E.L. has not publicly responded to Dakota's comments.

Who knew an innocent comment about limes would go viral? But that was what happened to Dakota after her 2020 house tour with Architectural Digest, during which she pointed to a bowl of limes in her kitchen and raved, "I love limes. I love them so much. They're great, and I like to present them like this in my house."

However, Dakota later admitted that it was all "set dressing."

"I'm actually allergic to limes," she confessed during a 2021 appearance on The Tonight Show. "So, I lied."

When the first trailer of Madame Web dropped in November 2023, the internet became fascinated with Dakota's monotonous delivery of the line: "He was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders right before she died."

Though the phrase quickly became a meme across the web, it failed to ensnare Dakota's attention—subsequently leading to another meme-able moment when she later expressed her confusion over its popularity.

"Why did that go viral?" she stoically asked an interviewer who mentioned the meme. "I have no idea what that's about."

Dakota added of her viral line, "That seems like a basic storyline to me."

Dakota—who is the daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson—didn't hold back her thoughts on Hollywood's nepo baby debate, when she told Today in a February 2024 interview, "When that first started, I found it to be incredibly annoying and boring." 

While speaking to Andrew Garfield about how they often cross paths at Hollywood events, Dakota admitted to taking out her hair extensions and giving them to fellow partygoers. 

"At those parties, I’d probably get a little drunk and then just take them out," she shared in a Vanity Fair sit-down, "and put them in men’s jacket pockets because they’re so annoying and I’d just find a place to put them."

Above all else, Dakota (understandably) puts sleep as "my number one priority in life."

"I'm not functional if I get less than 10," she told WSJ. Magazine in December 2023. "I can easily go 14 hours."

"How much stuff can Dakota Johnson fit in her gap teeth?" Well, a lot—as she candidly demonstrated in a 2017 video of the same name.

Among the objects included a toothpick, a credit card and $1100 in cash.

"That's my only skill," she quipped in the clip, adding, "Dad, are you watching this?"
