Dakota Johnson recalls how good manners once cost her an acting role: 'Pretty crazy'

Dakota Johnson once got rejected for showing "manners" during an audition.

During a recent interview with Hits Radio, the '50 Shades of Grey' actress opened up about a past audition in which she was not selected just because she greeted everyone in the room, as her action was misread.

“I went into the room and I shook everyone's hand and introduced myself,” Dakota recalled.

The 'Materialists' star went on to say, “And then I did the scene and I left. And the feedback I got was that because I had gone and introduced myself and shook everyone's hand, that I was, like, pompous, that I was schmoozing and full of myself.”

Dakota revealed the feedback left her shocked and confused as she remarked, “I was like, what? I didn't get the job because they said that I was being cocky.”

But Dakota kept a positive attitude about the “pretty crazy” situation, noting that she "just had manners.”

The actress made the appearance on Hits Radio for the promotion of her new movie 'Splitsville', which was released in the US in September. Now it is all set to release in the UK.
