Dakota Johnson's Dad Don Was Surprised By Her Acting Career

Dakota Johnson‘s dad Don Johnson, who is an acting legend himself, is opening up about his daughter’s career and how it took him by surprise.

The 69-year-old Knives Out actor says he didn’t know that Dakota wanted to be an actress until she became an adult.

“That’s a story in itself. I didn’t know that she wanted to do it. She hadn’t shared that with us,” Don told The Guardian. “So she’s 18, I think, at the time and I’m going: ‘OK, I’ll just keep my eye on her and reach out and catch her.’ Ha ha, that’s the last I saw of Dakota. She has the goods.”

Don even thinks that she’s the best actor in the family, better than both him and mom Melanie Griffith.

“She’s a wonderful actress, and in some ways better than her mother and me,” he said.
