Dakota Johnson recalls asking parents for financial help during 'hard' acting years

Nepo baby Dakota Johnson admits she asked her parents for financial help during her early years struggling to make it as an actress in Hollywood.

The “Madame Web” actress reflected on how her renowned parents, Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, supported her financially in a recent interview with Elle, released on Friday.

“For a couple of years it was hard to make money,” Dakota, 35, confessed.

The “Fifty Shades of Grey” star recalled moments when she didn’t have enough money in her bank account to pay her rent or buy items from the market.

“I had to turn to my parents for assistance,” she mentioned about Griffith, 67, and Don, 75, continuing, “I’m extremely thankful that I had parents who were able to support me and did so.”

While she was lucky enough to have financial support from her parents, Dakota said that her years as a struggling actress “certainly was not fun.”

“The auditioning process, as you know, is the f–king worst,” she said.

However, her parents were less inclined to provide her financial aid when she was not accepted into Juilliard, the sole college she applied to after finishing high school.

“I didn’t get in and my dad cut me off because I didn’t go to college,” she said. “So, I started auditioning. I think I was 19 when I did ‘The Social Network,’ and then little jobs and stuff after that.”

Dakota notably had her first acting gig at age 10 in her mom’s movie, “Crazy in Alabama.” For years, Dakota continued to land small roles in movies like “The Social Network” and “21 Jump Street,” as well as the Fox sitcom “Ben and Kate.”

She had her big break when she was cast as the lead character, Anastasia Steele, in “Fifty Shades of Grey” in 2013 and reprised her role in the trilogy’s two subsequent films.

Due to the major blockbuster success of the erotic movie based on E. L. James’ novel of the same name, Dakota immediately launched into stardom and doesn’t need her parents to fund her lifestyle anymore.

She now resides in a gorgeous Malibu, Calif., mansion — a place where she feels at home.

“I like it, and I like that you are not so far away,” she told the outlet. “I also think, in my deepest truth, I feel I don’t live anywhere. I nest kind of wherever I am. If I’m in a hotel for six weeks, if I’m in a hotel for four days, if I’m in a rental, I’m like, ‘I live here now – this is my home.’”
