From Madame Web to Movie Stardom: Dakota Johnson's Iconic Moment with Sandra Bullock
RAZZIE ROYALE: Dakota Johnson Spills Tea on Sandra Bullock's Supportive Message Amidst Madame Web Flop
In a shocking turn of events, Dakota Johnson became the toast of the Razzie Awards when she took home the Worst Actress trophy for her role in the box office bomb, Madame Web. But instead of wallowing in shame, the 35-year-old actress is taking it all in stride - thanks to some sage advice from none other than Hollywood royalty, Sandra Bullock.
In a revealing appearance on Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast, Johnson dished about her experience and how she received a heartfelt message from the Oscar-winning actress. "Sandra sent me a voice note being like, 'I heard you're in the Razzie club, and we should have brunch - we should have a monthly brunch,'" Johnson gushed, her excitement still palpable.
The Lost Daughter star confessed that she was initially taken aback by Bullock's words of encouragement. "I freaked out getting this message from her because she's so iconic to me, as like a movie star," Johnson said, her voice filled with admiration for the Gravity actress. "I was just crazy."
It seems Bullock is no stranger to Razzie fame herself - having won the same Worst Actress award in 2010 for her role in All About Steve. In a bold move, she attended the event to collect her prize, setting a precedent for future winners.
Johnson's Madame Web adventure has been well-documented, with the movie struggling to find its footing at the box office. The $80 million production received scathing reviews from critics and audiences alike, leading to a lackluster performance that left many wondering what went wrong.
In a surprising twist, Johnson herself was accused of sabotaging the film's marketing efforts by making public jabs at the movie during its poor performance. However, it seems she has since put those rumors behind her - with Bullock's supportively timed message offering a much-needed boost to her confidence.

The silver screen siren also shared how lessons learned from her mom have carried over into her entertainment career. "My mom raised me to be really, really proud of my body and love my body, so I've always felt so grateful for that," Johnson said, her gratitude evident. "I want to feel good in my body... If I'm showing my body, my mom taught me to own it."
