Don Johnson won't be watching his daughter in 50 Shades of Grey
Actress Dakota Johnson scored the buzziest role of her career when she was cast as the lead protagonist, Anastasia Steele, in the upcoming 50 Shades of Grey movie. But there's one person who doesn't plan to see her in the racy drama when it arrives next year: her father, actor Don Johnson, who recently revealed that he made a pact with Dakota not to see 50 Shades of Grey.
"It's not something I would go to anyway," said Don Johnson in an interview with The Telegraph. "I probably will not see it, just because it's not a movie I would see. I've never seen The Vampire Diaries, I've never seen Twilight. It's in a category of films that I just wouldn't be interested in" — a category that Netflix would presumably call something like "Edgy Bondage-Themed Movies Starring Your Daughter."
