Dakota Johnson, known for her roles in films like “Fifty Shades of Grey” and the upcoming “Madame Web,” recently opened up about her playful but genuine annoyance with her Gen Z co-stars. Speaking with Seth Meyers on “Late Night,” Johnson shared insights into her dynamic with Sydney Sweeney, Celeste O’Connor, and Isabela Merced, all of whom are younger than her.
The 34-year-old actress humorously expressed feeling like the elder stateswoman amidst her younger co-stars, citing a “generational divide” as the source of occasional irritation. When Meyers asked her when she felt the oldest, Johnson quipped, “All the time,” indicating that the age gap is a constant reminder.

Adding to the humorous exchange, Johnson mentioned feeling left out of a group chat named “The Boo Crew,” humorously pointing out that her co-stars are keen to remind her of her seniority. Despite the playful banter, there’s a sense of camaraderie between the actors, evident in their lighthearted exchanges.
Sydney Sweeney, known for her role in “Euphoria,” joined in on the fun, emphasizing Johnson’s seniority with a backhanded compliment, mentioning her long-standing admiration for the actress since her younger years. Sweeney even confessed to sneaking into a screening of one of Johnson’s R-rated films when she was underage, adding a touch of mischievousness to the conversation.
While the interactions might seem like playful ribbing, they underscore a deeper connection between the cast members. Johnson’s candidness about feeling out of place at times highlights the relatable dynamics of working across different age groups in the entertainment industry.
Ultimately, the interviews showcase not only Johnson’s wit but also the camaraderie and mutual respect among the cast of “Madame Web.” Despite the occasional annoyances and age disparities, it’s clear that Johnson and her younger co-stars share a bond that transcends generational differences, making for an engaging and humorous dynamic both on and off-screen.
