Even with Dakota Johnson’s deep affection for her mom, a true sense of happiness often seemed to elude her. This fact became clearer as she drifted back into a childhood memory – one that involved an unforgettable encounter with the one and only James Taylor Thomas. The twist here was that this memory unfolded right before her mother’s eyes, adding an unexpected layer of significance to the entire recollection.
As she recounted that long-ago encounter, it was as if a whirlwind of emotions swirled within her. There was the sweet warmth of love and nostalgia, yet tinged with a pinch of regret, creating a bittersweet symphony of feelings that seemed to define her connection to that moment.
Crazy Airport Adventures with Dakota Johnson
In an episode of The Late, Late Show with James Corden, actress Dakota Johnson shared a rather amusing and cringe-worthy incident involving her mother, the well-known actress Melanie Griffith, and a rather famous heartthrob from our younger years – James Taylor Thomas, or JTT as he’s affectionately remembered.
Referring to him as a “total babe,” she shared an anecdote describing the moment when she saw JTT at an airport, a memory that turned up the excitement vibes in her heart to max volume:
“He was in the airport and I was like – I think I was eight – I was like ‘oh my god mum, it’s really him.’ I was like, we’re going to be married, we’re going to be together forever, we’re the same, we [both] love each other.”
Yet, the situation takes an unforeseen twist, and her once-crushy vibes evolve into a rather cringy tune.

But here’s where the tale takes a turn into the realm of hilarity. When her mom, Melanie Griffith, with all her vibrant enthusiasm, decided it was the perfect opportunity to make a connection with JTT. In her signature exuberant style, she called JTT over to say hello. And what did Dakota Johnson do? She didn’t stand there with composed excitement; She revealed:
“I was like across the airport, hiding behind a plant. Trying to be invisible behind this house plant. I was obvious… I was very visible… it was a house plant not, like, a tree.”
The memory, which was a tad mortifying at the time, has now transformed into a funny family anecdote. Who knew that a chance encounter at an airport would become a tale that the fans would hear recounted with laughter for years to come?
