“I somehow got myself into being in the series finale of ‘The Office’ because I was a fan of ‘The Office,’ of course…. I’m in it for like, three minutes and I spent two weeks on that set”
Considering the impact the show had, the last episode was well anticipated, so the pressure would make anyone nervous and Dakota Johnson felt it too, she expressed:

But on the bright side, Dakota Johnson said she got to meet Rainn Wilson and she still runs into him in planes.
