Pedro Pascal and Dakota Johnson: From Awkward Encounters to Dynamic Duo
Pedro Pascal and Dakota Johnson reveal their initially rocky friendship during an interview. The actors, who star in the upcoming rom-com *Materialists*, share contrasting memories of their first meeting, leading to light-hearted banter. Despite a rough start, their humorous exchanges hint at a strong on-screen chemistry.
Pedro Pascal and Dakota Johnson might just be the dynamic duo of the moment, having a right laugh while promoting their new rom-com, Materialists. But—plot twist—they weren’t always on the best of terms. In a recent chat for ELLE UK, a little friendly banter revealed some comically awkward first impressions between the two. Turns out, their history has more twists than a season finale of a soap opera.
The interview kicked off with Pedro cheekily asking Dakota, “When and where did we first meet?” Cue the tension! Dakota leaned in with a cheeky, “According to whose truth?” After some playful back-and-forth, she later quipped that Pedro’s version of events might have bias — being a man and all. Classic.
According to Pedro, their first encounter was back at the Golden Globes in 2014. He recalled it was at an HBO after-party where they “banded together” as Dakota was flying solo. But Dakota has a different take. She maintains that they first crossed paths at the Met Gala, which leads us to that delightful game of ‘Who Remembers What?’.
Pedro had said quite candidly, “I loved you the first time, and then I didn’t think you were that nice to me at the Met Gala.” Ouch, but it’s all in jest. He continued reminiscing while feeling that pang of, “Oh, she doesn’t remember me,” which surely cuts deeper than any fashion faux pas.
Then, Dakota chimed in describing the Met Gala as “The Twilight Zone,” where nothing feels real, and connections feel a bit like quicksand. She laughed about how this isn’t the first time they’ve had this conversation—she’s pretty certain it’s the 37th! Dakota remembered Pedro as “a nice man that I’ve definitely never met before,” which is, well, it just adds to the comedy.
As for their upcoming film Materialists, set for a UK release on 15th August 2025, there’s no denying that this friendly banter bodes well for their on-screen chemistry, because let’s face it, who doesn’t love a good rom-com? Especially when the stars have a history that sounds like the scripts of their movies!
In conclusion, Pedro Pascal and Dakota Johnson have gone from awkward first meetings to being the best of buds, thanks to their playful repartee in promoting their rom-com, *Materialists*. Their history is a mix of confusion and laughter, proving that friendships can often start with a few stumbles. Can’t wait to see how that translates into hilarity on screen!
