Dakota Johnson is all set to host Saturday Night Live for the third time.

Speaking to Extra on Wednesday, the 36-year-old actress shared that she's so excited to return to the set of the late night show as its her "favourite place in the world."

"I’m so excited. It’s truly my favourite place in the world," said Dakota. "I just came from there."

She further said, "I was literally like wheeled down the hallway on like a little wheelie cart because I couldn’t walk that far in heels in my dress."

"So, that’s how I got here … I would never say it’s easy because it’s always nerve-wracking, but it’s so much fun," the Fifty Shades of Grey actress added.

Elsewhere in the interview, Dakota also talked about her latest collaboration with Taylor Swift for her music video, Patient Zero.

"It was so special ... We’re so close and to be able to work with your friend and have it actually go well and then also, like, feed each other’s creative minds … She’s such a good director and she’s a true visionary," the Madame Web actress told the outlet.

"It was, like, easy for me to just, like, I don't know, it was very symbiotic the way that we work," she added.
