In the latest entertainment news, Dakota Johnson, the star of the new film Madame Web, has recently shared her thoughts about her younger Gen Z co-stars. Johnson, 34, jokingly mentioned in an interview with Seth Meyers on Late Night that her co-stars, Sydney Sweeney, Celeste O’Connor, and Isabela Merced, who are 26, 25, and 22 years old respectively, sometimes annoy her on set. She humorously admitted to feeling older than them all the time, highlighting the generation gap with a touch of playful banter.
Despite the light-hearted comments, Johnson also expressed feeling a bit left out at times, mentioning in another interview with E! News that her younger castmates make her aware of their age difference. It seems the dynamic on the set of Madame Web has a mix of playfulness and awareness of age disparities.
However, the movie itself hasn't fared well with critics. Madame Web has received scathing reviews, with one critic comparing it to a 'Chernobyl-level disaster'. The film follows Johnson’s character, a New York City paramedic with clairvoyant abilities, as she navigates her past and protects three young women from a mysterious adversary.
Critics, like The Independent's Clarisse Loughrey, have criticized the film for its lackluster quality, describing it as resembling an unlicensed superhero painted on the side of a carnival ride. Despite the negative feedback, the film still seeks to captivate audiences with its intriguing premise and Dakota Johnson's lead performance.
With mixed reviews and differing opinions, Madame Web has certainly sparked conversations in the entertainment industry. It will be interesting to see how audiences respond to the film and whether Dakota Johnson's Gen Z co-stars bring a fresh energy to the screen that transcends any off-screen playful banter.
