-I've been very excited to see you.
I love seeing you. -I love seeing you, too.
-Yeah, I -- I want to get into your two movies.
They're giant movies. You're -- You're the --
You're the Hollywood "it girl" right now.
-Am I? -Yeah, I said so.
-That's nice to say.
-I want to ask you a question. This is serious.
-[ Somber voice] Okay. What is it, Jimmy?
-I heard -- [ Laughter ]
-Yes? -I heard that you like --
I heard that you like to crash weddings,
and I just think that's interesting.
-Oh, well -- That is interesting.
[ Laughter ]
It's interesting you say that. I did that once.
[ Laughter ]
-But you don't -- like, that's not a thing that you do?
-Well, a friend of mine, we were in the same place.
And I was, like -- I was in Italy with my sisters.
And in Italy, they have -- they have a lot of wine there.
[ Laughter ] And...
-So that was your invite right there, huh?
-So that -- they -- my friend was at this wedding.
And he's like, "Just come. It's a really big wedding.
No one will know." And then, all of a sudden,
I'm just making eye contact with the bride
as she's being bounced in a chair.
[ Laughter ] And she was like...
-Yeah. -"What?"
-That's pretty fun. -"Why is she here?"
-That's cool, though.
"Dakota Johnson's at my wedding."
-I'm a nice person to -- [ Laughter ]
-I know you are! Yeah.
But I mean -- But so that's -- I'm sorry, I thought that was
the story, that you crash weddings, you crash parties.
-No. Well, like, the other night in here, actually,
I was just at dinner with friends and they were like,
"We're going to a birthday party at Electric Lady."
So I went to that. -And you --
you weren't really invited to that, either?
-No. [ Laughter ]
No, I wasn't. But it actually
wasn't even a birthday party. It was a staff party.
[ Laughter ]
-That's even crazier. But then -- But then --
-Yeah. -So maybe you do --
-They were really like, "What are you doing here?"
[ Laughter ]
-Maybe you do crash things and you don't think about it.
Is there any other scam? [ Laughter ]
-Was I invited to this show? -Oh, my goodness!
[ Laughter ] You were --
You are always invited to this show.
We love you. -Thanks.
-I want to talk about -- You have two movies.
Two big movies. Let's get right to it.
"Persuasion" is coming out July 15th, on Netflix.
It's a Jane Austen adaptation.
You're wearing gorgeous dresses, running around -- yep.
I love Jane Austen. -Me too.
-[ British accent ] I really liked it because
I do, um... -Accents.
-Yeah, I do. How'd you know?
-That's really good, yeah. -Is it?
Is it, though? Is it -- Is it good?
[ Laughter ] -I don't know.
-Is it all right? -Not really.
-Yeah, not really. -No.
-I do accents every now and then.
I can do a different one.
And I'm just saying, I could audition.
I could be in the next movie that you want to be in."
-[ Laughing ] Are you okay?
[ Laughter ]
-[ Normal voice ] That's -- That's the reaction
I want from people -- "Are you okay?"
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-He's transformed.
-Are you great -- but are you good with accents?
Do you love doing them? -I love doing them.
I had an amazing vocal coach for "Persuasion," though.
Jill McCullough. And then, her assistant,
Helen Simmons, was on set with me.
-Yeah. -And we would do, like,
crazy warm-ups in the mornings at like 5:00 in the morning.
-Whoa. -Which would be hard-core.
So we'd make them really, really naughty.
[ Laughter ] -Oh.
Okay. Just to try and keep it interesting
at 5:00 in the morning? -Yeah.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -What else are you gonna do
except say a bunch of, like, really gnarly words.
-Is there any ones you can say on television?
-Yeah. One of them was like,
"Look at the lovely lemons in the lounge."
-Wow.
[ British accent ] Look -- Look at the --
[ Laughter ] Hey! Oi!
Look at the lovely lemons on the lounge.
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
Yeah. -I'm telling you, I'm available.
-Or like, "Please put the tiny cup on the kitchen top."
-Please put a cup on the tea -- on the top.
[ Laughter ] Please put a cup --
Hey, put a cup on the tea!
Put a -- -It's Mick Jagger.
-[ Normal voice ] Mick Jagger, yeah.
I'm just saying I can do that.
If you need that in your film, you know --
-That's what I need. -You know who to call.
I'm your guy. But, congrats.
Let's talk about "Cha Cha Real Smooth."
-Yes. -I love -- I love the title.
-You got it right. -Of course.
-Yeah. -"Cha Cha Real Smooth."
I know that jam. It's in theaters and on Apple TV+.
It's -- You're getting rave reviews for this.
How do we set this up?
-This is my company, TeaTime's, first movie that we made.
We developed it from an idea that the director,
Cooper Raiff, brought to us.
It's about a young man who leaves college
and doesn't have a job, doesn't really know what to do
with himself, and he becomes a party starter
at bar mitzvahs and bat mitzvahs.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah.
-And he meets a young mother of -- of, like, a 14-year-old
autistic girl and falls in love with her.
-Yeah. It's -- It's a sweet story.
And "Cha Cha Real Smooth," why is that the title?
Just 'cause -- -Well, you know,
in the "Cha-Cha Slide"... -Yeah.
-...the part of the song --
This -- Cooper came up with this,
and it's annoying because it's really good.
[ Laughter ]
But, yeah. -You wanted credit for it?
-Yeah. I'm on TV right now,
so I'm gonna take credit for it. -Yeah.
-He said -- No, I say, it's the part of the song
where you do your own dance.
-Oh, yeah. Because he tells you the --
-"Cha-Cha now, y'all." -Yeah.
-And then you do your own boogie.
-Yeah, so this is his part of his life where he's like,
"This is the part where I do my own thing."
-Yeah. -Yeah, it's a good title.
I will say, congrats.
It won the Audience Award at Sundance.
[ Cheers and applause ] And it was one of
the biggest sellers out of Sundance.
Big hit. -Yeah.
-Big, successful. Congratulations.
I want to show everyone a clip.
Here's Dakota Johnson in "Cha Cha Real Smooth."
Take a look at this.
-On the Earth, we all have, like, a ton of soul mates.
And I think for you, maybe, it's like a special case
where you only have a few... -[ Chuckles ]
...who, like, could be and really are your soul mates.
But most of the people in the world aren't your soul mates.
-How many soul mates?
-For you? Like, four.
-Four? -Yeah, four soul mates.
-I probably haven't met any of them.
-No, you have. God puts them, like,
on your path so you'll cross. -How many do you have?
-Like 1,200. -[ Laughs ]
-Have you met any? -Yes.
Domino, domino, domino.
-[ Gasps ] [ Crashing, body thuds ]
Oh, my God. That's a ton of blood right away.
[ Laughter ]
-"Oh, my God. That's a ton of blood right away."
Dakota Johnson, everybody! "Cha Cha Real Smooth"
is in theaters and on Apple TV+ this Friday.
Dakota and I are doing "Mad Lib Karaoke"
when we come back. Stick around.
