Dakota Johnson, the lead actress in the superhero film “Madame Web,” has made a surprising revelation. In an interview with Magic Radio, she confessed that she has not watched the movie yet, and it seems that she has no immediate plans to do so. This admission has sparked curiosity and raised eyebrows among fans and movie enthusiasts.
Key Takeaway
Dakota Johnson’s revelation about not watching her own movie “Madame Web” has sparked interest and discussion. Her decision, along with the mixed reception of the film, has drawn attention to the unique perspectives of actors on their own work.
Avoiding Her Own Premiere
During the interview, Johnson expressed her reluctance to watch her own performances, citing concerns about potentially experiencing an existential crisis. She even mentioned that she might sneak out of the theater rather than stay for her own movie premiere, which she apparently did earlier this week.
Not Just a One-Time Occurrence
It appears that Johnson’s avoidance of watching her own films is not limited to theatrical premieres. She also indicated a lack of interest in viewing “Madame Web” at home, stating that she might watch the movie “someday,” but conveying a sense of disinterest.
A Common Trend in Hollywood
While some may find Johnson’s stance surprising, it is not entirely uncommon for actors to refrain from watching their own performances. Several prominent figures in Hollywood, including Constance Wu, Jesse Eisenberg, Helena Bonham Carter, and Adam Driver, have also admitted to avoiding their own movies.
Reception of ‘Madame Web’
Aside from Johnson’s personal decision, “Madame Web” has been receiving mixed reviews. The film, which follows the story of clairvoyant Cassandra Webb portrayed by Johnson, has garnered a 14% critics score and a 55% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. With these numbers falling well below the typical reception of Marvel films, “Madame Web” is also expected to face challenges at the box office.
