Dakota Johnson has openly criticized Hollywood's demand for 'more muscular' content in television, revealing that studios often prioritize marketable narratives over authentic storytelling.
In an interview, she stated,
“I do find myself constantly fighting to tell true stories and portray real women on screen. It’s not what studios are wanting to do right now,” highlighting the industry's reluctance to embrace genuine narratives.
Johnson, who co-founded
TeaTime Pictures in 2019 with Ro Donnelly, aims to produce projects that reflect real-life experiences. Her company has already produced
2023’s Daddio featuring Sean Penn and is working on upcoming projects like
Splitsville.
The actress, who comes from a lineage of Hollywood stars, including her parents Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, has a
“complicated relationship” with the film industry, which she has navigated since childhood.
Johnson's comments underscore a broader conversation about the need for authenticity in storytelling, as many creators feel pressured to conform to industry standards that prioritize commercial viability over artistic integrity.
