When Dakota Johnson in particular takes part in an interview, most of the time, it'll more than likely go viral. The actress tends to be an open book, rarely keeping her thoughts or information to herself, which is why millions of fans adore her. There are countless examples, like when Johnson revealed that Jesse Eisenberg didn't even look at her during the shoot of The Social Network. Or Johnson calling out Ellen for not showing up to her birthday, despite the fact that she asked for an invite... That's truly just a short list, as the actress has put so many others on blast, including her mystery celebrity neighbor for towing her car away, which was parked in front of their house.This moment is of the lighter stature, as we'll take a look back at Johnson's time alongside Leslie Mann, promoting the film, How to be Single. One interview in particular had millions of fans talking.
How To Be Single Was A Success At The Box Office With A Strong Female Cast
The Rom-Com enjoyed great success at the box office back in 2016, bringing in over $112 million off a $38 million budget. The cast had great star power, featuring the likes of Rebel Wilson, Dakota Johnson, Leslie Mann, and Ailson Brie.
The film turned out to be different from the inspiration, which was a novel written by Julie Jenson. In addition, the film almost looked very different, with Drew Barrymore rumored to direct the project at the start.
Dan Stevens was another name originally cast to the film, but dropped out because of Beauty and the Beast, according to IMDb trivia.
The lengthiest part of the film for some actors, isn't shooting the film itself, but the press that takes place afterwards. Luckily for Dakota Johnson and Leslie Mann, they seemed to be completely into a certain interview, promoting the film. However, they completely forgot about the movie, when the interviewer entered the room.
Dakota Johnson And Leslie Mann Couldn't Stop Complimenting The Interviewer, Chris Van Vliet
When he enters the room, Leslie Mann and Dakota Johnson have the biggest smile on their faces. The interviewer was Chris Van Vliet, who made a name for himself in the world of interviews, thanks to his outstanding work covering WWE stars and other pro wrestlers from around the world.
He also recently took part in a memorable interview alongside Dwayne Johnson, sharing the news that he was expecting to be a father for the first time. An emotional Van Vliet was embraced by The Rock.
As for this interview, well it seems like the ladies were full of compliments. Prior to getting removed, the video on Van Vliet's channel had over 17 million views.
“Are you single? You’re handsome,” Mann says. "You look like you have really big muscles."
The ladies would even request that Van Vliet take off his shirt or at the very least, undo some buttons...
Credit to Van Vliet, who clearly had fun with the moment and made light of it. The interviewer would also use a pickup line of his own, one that Dakota Johnson was not impressed with.
“Are you Google? Cause you’re exactly what I’ve been searching for,” Vliet asks.
“Don’t ever say that to someone,” Johnson responds.
It was a memorable moment for Van Vliet, however, Dakota Johnson felt the need to apologize after the fact.
Dakota Johnson Apologized To Van Vliet After The Interview
Two years later, Dakota Johnson ran into Van Vliet for a second time. This time around, Johnson was promoting a different film, Bad Times at the El Royale.
Van Vliet recalls Johnson instantly remembering the interview, and apologizing for the way things had previously gone.
The interview shared the experience, "This was two years ago. Dakota definitely remembered. The second I walked in the room for this latest interview, she looked at me with this shocked look and said, “Umm, didn’t I ask you to take your shirt off the last time I saw you?”
Johnson apologized for 'harassing' Van Vliet. However, the interviewer wasn't accepting the apology.
“Thank you, I appreciate that. It was the most fun interview of my career. She didn't have to apologize, I was a very willing participant."
Ultimately, it was just a fun moment between the three and one Van Vliet won't forget, despite his many impressive interviews.
