Melanie Griffith referred to Dakota Johnson’s pairing with Justin Timberlake, where the latter played Napster founder Sean Parker in ‘The Social Network’.
Answering whether she had any preconceived ideas about Timberlake before shooting together, Johnson replied, "Are you kidding? I was just like 19 and straddling Justin Timberlake and like whipping him in the face with my hair. 100% had preconceived notions, but he was lovely and kind and really, you know, welcoming for a person that was just a stranger."

"We did it so many times that I feel like I remember this and it's happening now. Maybe I was traumatized," she added, per People.
