In an October 5 Hot Ones Versus teaser, Dakota Johnson answered a question about filming the first Fifty Shades movie rather than eat a death wing. \u201cI grew my pubic hair,\u201d she said of playing Anastasia Steele. \u201cFor 50 Shades, the first one, I was both frontal and she was supposed to have never had a wax.\u201d<\/p>\nDakota Johnson at the Fifty Shades Darker premiere, held at Kinepolis Cinema in Madrid on February 8, 2017.

First We Feast\u2019s teaser caption gives the longer ending as \u201cone of these f*ckers.\u201d<\/p>\nDakota Johnson steps out for Vogue World: Milano 2026 at Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II on September 22, 2026.

In 2015, Johnson said she \u201chad more waxing than any woman should have.\u201d Cinematographer Seamus McGarvey said she wore a patch and pubic hair was added in post, while director Sam Taylor-Johnson described a \u201cpubic hair arc\u201d written to track the book. Those accounts don\u2019t establish precisely how Johnson prepared for the role.<\/p>\nDakota Johnson photographed at a public event.

The teaser appeared a day after Johnson turned 37, with the full episode scheduled for October 6 on First We Feast\u2019s YouTube channel.<\/p>\n
The three are promoting Verity, the Colleen Hoover adaptation that opened in US theaters October 2. Johnson plays struggling writer Lowen Ashleigh, Hathaway plays bestselling author Verity Crawford, and Hartnett plays Crawford\u2019s husband. Johnson had already completed a full Hot Ones interview with Sean Evans in June 2025 while promoting Materialists; Versus uses a different format. At the end of that earlier interview, she told Evans, \u201cI won\u2019t be back.\u201d<\/p>\nAt Curzon Mayfair in London on September 24, 2026, Dakota Johnson attends the UK gala screening of \u201cVerity.\u201d Photo by Jeff Spicer \/ Getty Images.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThanks for reading Thought Catalog.
