'Don’t have energy to fight what people believe': Dakota Johnson on dating rumours
Dakota Johnson opens up about why she refuses to correct dating rumours and why she is stepping away from the constant scrutiny of social media.
Hollywood star Dakota Johnson has decided to draw a line in the sand regarding the relentless speculation surrounding her romantic life. The Fifty Shades of Grey actress revealed that she has no interest in correcting the internet's wild theories about who she is seeing, essentially telling the public to move on.
"It's just futile": The struggle with "Mystery Men"
In a candid conversation cited by E! News, Johnson expressed her frustration with how the media interprets her every move. She noted that even mundane professional outings are often twisted into sensationalist headlines.
"Even if I go to dinner with my manager or my lawyer, it’s like, ‘Seen with mystery man.’ I also don’t care," Johnson remarked.
The actress explained that attempting to debunk every inaccurate story is a losing battle. She believes that people will ultimately believe whatever narrative they choose, and she lacks the desire to engage in such exhausting debates. Instead, she prefers to direct her mental energy toward more meaningful aspects of her life.
Recent sightings and relationship speculation
The actress's comments follow a period of intense tabloid interest. Recently, Johnson was spotted walking in New York City with musician Machine Gun Kelly. This sighting occurred just weeks after various media outlets claimed she had ended her relationship with singer Role Model (Tucker Pillsbury).
The public fascination comes at a time when Johnson is actively distancing herself from the digital spotlight. She admitted to stepping back from social media, citing a growing discomfort with the culture of constant documentation and scrutiny.
- Social Media Shift: Johnson stated she no longer finds joy in the platform, noting that while she enjoyed it in her early 20s, she now finds the constant monitoring of lives "uncomfortable."
- Musical Attractions: When asked about her tendency to date musicians—following her past relationship with Coldplay's Chris Martin—she jokingly admitted, "They like me... And I like them."
What's next for Dakota Johnson?
While she may be staying away from the comment sections, Johnson is staying busy on the big screen. Fans can look forward to seeing her star alongside Anne Hathaway in the upcoming film 'Verity', an adaptation of the bestselling novel by Colleen Hoover. The movie is scheduled for a theatrical release in India on October 2.
