Dakota Johnson's Childhood in the Spotlight

Dakota Johnson, the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' actress, has revealed her "scary" childhood experiences as the daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson.

Johnson described encountering aggressive fans while doing everyday activities like grocery shopping with her mom. She grew up with famous parents, including stepfather Antonio Banderas, which left a lasting impact on her life.

I don't think I ever truly realized what Hollywood was, but I grew up on set and was always surrounded by people who made movies. I mean, I was born in Texas because my father filmed there.

Johnson told Vogue Germany that she always knew her family's profession was different from her classmates' parents, who had traditional office jobs. This made it challenging for her to make and keep friends due to her frequent travels as a kid.
