Dakota Johnson reflected on the time when she caused mayhem on the set of Saturday Night Live.

The two-time SNL host, recalled an instance where she had a nasty tumble on an entire piece set while attending a taping of the show.

During her appearance at Late Night with Seth Meyers, the Fifty Shades of Grey star, told the host, "I'm obsessed with SNL. So I go and watch and sit where Lorne [Michaels] sits."

The Materialists actress, went on to clarify that it didn’t happen during her own shows, in fact, the fall occurred when she chose to stop by for a visit one day.

"I went out front with Lorne to watch 'Weekend Update' because sometimes [he is] like, 'Come and watch on the floor,'" Johnson explained. "Which is, like, the coolest thing ever."

However, when she made her move, she came in contact with the floor of the set.

"And then I took, like, a tiny step backwards, and I completely knocked over and fell into an entire set piece," she said.

The actress said Michaels thankfully had the perfect punchline for the situation: "He was like, 'You were there, and then you weren't there.'"

The discussion came around when she confessed to Meyers that she thinks her feet are "slightly too small for my body for my height," and, as a result, she has fallen a lot over the years.

Johnson’s latest film Materialists starring Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans is slated for release on June 13.
