Dakota Johnson, known for her role in ‘Fifty Shades of Grey,’ recently opened up about her experience on the popular TV show ‘The Office.’ During an appearance on ‘Late Night With Seth Meyers,’ she described her time on the show as the ‘worst time’ of her professional acting career.
Johnson, who appeared in the series finale of ‘The Office,’ expressed her initial enthusiasm to be part of the show’s conclusion. However, her brief role turned into a two-week commitment, where she felt marginalized and overlooked by the cast and crew.
Reflecting on her time on set, Johnson revealed that there were underlying tensions and dynamics among the cast that had been ongoing for the past decade. She described feeling isolated and ignored, with some cast members not engaging with her during her time on the show.
In addition to her limited screen time, Johnson shared her frustration at being relegated to background scenes, performing menial tasks such as faxing, further adding to her negative experience on the set.
The actress’s candid remarks shed light on the behind-the-scenes atmosphere of the iconic sitcom, offering a glimpse into the interpersonal dynamics that were not visible to the audience.
Meanwhile, ‘The Office’ series creator, Greg Daniels, hinted at the possibility of a revival or extension of the show’s universe. He expressed openness to the idea of revisiting the world of ‘The Office’ in a new format, drawing parallels to the success of spin-off series in other franchises such as ‘The Mandalorian’ in the Star Wars universe.
However, Daniels acknowledged the challenges of overcoming initial skepticism and negative feedback, especially in the wake of the show’s later seasons without key cast members. He emphasized the time and effort required to establish a new show within the existing ‘Office’ universe, considering the potential hurdles of initial resistance from fans.
Johnson’s revelations and Daniels’ comments have sparked discussions among fans about the potential future of ‘The Office’ and the dynamics of its possible revival. As the beloved sitcom continues to resonate with audiences, the prospect of revisiting its world in a new iteration raises intriguing possibilities for both fans and creators alike.
