Dakota Johnson's spicy Sundance shade: Armie Hammer, peaches & cannibalistic love

Dakota Johnson: Sundance's Cheeky Revelations & Spicy Shades

When Dakota Johnson takes center stage, you can always expect the unexpected. At the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, she delighted the audience with her candid humor, echoing past films, and sprinkling in a touch of controversy.

A Fruity Offer She Had to Refuse

It seems like 2017's Oscar-winning indie “Call Me By Your Name” almost had a different star... well, kind of. "Luca had asked me to play the role of the peach, but our schedules conflicted," Dakota humorously reminisced. As reported by Variety, Johnson took a playful dig at Armie Hammer's past allegations, adding, “Thank god, though, because then I would have been another woman that Armie Hammer tried to eat.” The crowd was instantly in stitches.

Taste for the Taboo: Guadagnino’s Gritty Cinema

Ever the charismatic presenter, Dakota didn't stop with just her peachy role anecdote. Acknowledging the five years since "Call Me By Your Name" premiered at Sundance, she playfully referenced Guadagnino's latest, cannibal-themed love story, “Who knew cannibalism was so popular?” she jested.

Having previously collaborated with Guadagnino on projects like “A Bigger Splash” and “Suspiria,” Dakota’s admiration for the filmmaker was evident. Paying tribute, she stated, “In my mind, and I feel like probably in your mind too, Luca Guadagnino is the epitome of an international icon. He wears Prada all the time.”

To sum it up, Dakota Johnson once again proved that she's not just a brilliant actress, but also Sundance's queen of wit and sass. Amid all the applause, laughter, and gasps, her presence was a tantalizing cherry (or should we say peach?) on top of an already exciting festival.
