Watch: Dakota Johnson talks 'Materialists,' Pedro Pascal stealing her clothes
June 3 (UPI) -- Dakota Johnson discussed her upcoming movie Materialists and how her co-star Pedro Pascal takes her clothes "a lot" when she stopped by The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon Monday.
The actress, 35, portrays matchmaker Lucy in the romantic comedy, out June 13.
"Materialists is about a matchmaker in New York City who is very, very good at her job, and she's also sort of trying to figure out for herself what love means and what is actually really valuable in life," Johnson told Fallon. "It's sort of a bit of a love triangle."
The film follows Lucy as she is courted by a wealthy man who lives in a $12 million penthouse apartment (Pascal), and her ex who has not moved on (Chris Evans).
Johnson said she knew Pascal prior to shooting.
"Pedro and I were homies, yeah," she said. "We actually do hang out all the time, when we're in the same place."
Fallon then presented a photograph of the pair at a Stevie Nicks concert in London.
"He's wearing my -- that's my sweater," Johnson pointed out. "He does that a lot. He takes my clothes. Yeah, he's like always underdressed -- well, I mean like he's wearing a t-shirt, and it's cold outside. Not like he forgot his pants."
Johnson and Fallon also played a game of Fast Forward during the actress' visit to The Tonight Show.
Johnson, the daughter of actors Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, is best known for starring in Fifty Shades of Grey and its sequels.

'Squid Game' Season 3 dominates global Netflix charts
SEOUL, July 2 (UPI) -- The third and final season of South Korean smash hit Squid Game topped Netflix's global charts and broke streaming records, the platform said Wednesday. The dystopian social satire garnered 60.1 million views in its first three days -- a record number -- and topped the streaming charts for the week of June 23-29. Season 3 outpaced its nearest competitor, the Spanish series Olympo, by nearly a tenfold margin. Squid Game Season 3 ranked No. 1 in all 93 countries where Netflix keeps top 10 lists, the streamer said in a press release, making it the first show to achieve the distinction in its debut week. The renewed interest in the series also brought its two previous seasons back onto the top 10 chart, with Season 2 appearing at No. 3 and Season 1 placing at No. 6. The original season introduced the world to protagonist Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) and his quest to survive a deadly series of children's games for a massive cash prize. Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk's series became a global phenomenon and remains Netflix's most-viewed show of all time. Season 3's critical response has been generally positive, if more muted than the debut season. UPI's Fred Topel said the final six-episode arc is "still loaded with surprises" as it brings the saga of Gi-hun and the deadly game to its conclusion. Netflix has capitalized on the show's popularity with commercial tie-ins and live events worldwide. In Seoul, nearly 40,000 people attended a parade and fan event on Saturday, with the show's iconic pink guards and its giant doll Young-hee marching past downtown's Gwanghwamun Square. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk, stars Lee Jung-jae and Lee Byung-hun and cast members from all three seasons appeared at an outdoor festival that served as a final celebration of Squid Game.

'Pretty Thing' reminded Alicia Silverstone of her film 'The Crush'

File Photo by Gabriele Holtermann/UPI | License Photo LOS ANGELES, July 2 (UPI) -- Alicia Silverstone says her new movie, Pretty Thing, in theaters and video-on-demand Friday, reminded her of her first movie, 1993's The Crush. While both are thrillers about stalkers, Silverstone played the teen stalker in The Crush and is the object of obsession in Pretty Thing. In a recent Zoom interview with UPI, Silverstone, 48, discussed the similarities and differences between the two films. In Pretty Thing, Silverstone portrays Sophie, a successful businesswoman who begins an affair with Elliott (Karl Glusman), a younger man and caterer she meets at a party. Elliott becomes obsessed with Sophie after she ends the relationship. "It's fun to revisit it," Silverstone said of the stalker thriller genre. "They're both in some kind of addictive game. She wants this to stop and he wants it to keep going. They're both equally determined." Silverstone is also clear that Pretty Thing is purely entertainment. Sophie attempts to handle Elliott's stalking herself, which the actress does not recommend. "Sophie doesn't call the cops, for example," she said. "That's a good thing to do. She takes it upon herself because she feels so threatened and she thinks she's in control." In The Crush, it was immediately apparent Silverstone's character, Adrian, was obsessed with an older man -- the tenant of her parents' guest house. In Pretty Thing, Sophie and Elliott enjoy several dates and travel to Paris together before she decides to end it. "It's an erotic thriller and it starts like a romance," she said. "You think, 'Oh, this is like this really beautiful, romantic story' and then it takes a turn. I love that about it." One of the moments that makes Sophie realize Elliott is too young for her is when he plans a date night. He takes her to the production of his friend's play, and Sophie is visibly uncomfortable. "I remember just being like oh God, this is so bad," Silverstone said. "She would've only gone to the finest Broadway performances or if it's going to be off Broadway, it's going to be something that is just hailed as incredible. This is just some sort of amateur play." Elliott also made a miscalculation by thinking the play would be an appealing surprise. "She didn't get told she was going to a play," Silverstone said. "You have to be prepared for that." Pretty Thing filmed under a waiver during the Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists strike of 2023. Director Justin Kelly, with whom Silverstone filmed King Cobra previously, cast her three weeks before production. Silverstone trained quickly, as Sophie is shown boxing at the gym. She also worked with costume designer Matthew Simonelli on Sophie's look, which involved changing her trademark blonde hair, and enjoying high fashion. "He had a vision for my hair to be dark and it was just fun," she said. "We borrowed clothes from Christian Siriano but also vintage. [Simonelli]'s vision was sort of Helmut Lang." This year also sees renewed interest in another popular Silverstone movie: Clueless turns returned to theaters in June ahead of its 30th anniversary. For Silverstone, however, the teen comedy has never gone away. "It happens almost every year," she said. "I've been hearing about the anniversary of Clueless, I think, for the last 15 years at least." Silverstone attended a sold out screening at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures with director Amy Heckerling and cast mates this summer. "That was really neat to see everybody laughing," she said. "I'm grateful that so many people love the movie so much." Clueless was the ninth film Silverstone made in a two year period. The movie's ensuing popularity created another whirlwind for her. "My life was different then," she reflected. "It was all very new and overwhelming but I'm always grateful for how this film has made people really happy over the years. It's lovely." For years after Clueless, people quoted her character, Cher Horowitz, saying, "I'm Audi" or "As if." Decades later, subsequent teen generations created new lingo like "on fleek" and "delulu," and Silverstone said her now 14-year-old son still springs new words on her. "My son has his own language that he brings to me so he refers to me as 'cuh,'" she said, referring to slang for "cousin." "You know when they go, 'Bruh? Bruh?' Now I'm Cuh. 'What's up, Cuh?' It makes me laugh." Still, Silverstone looks back at The Crush as the beginning of her career. The late director Marty Callner, who directed Silverstone in three Aerosmith videos, cast her after seeing that film. Then Clueless director Amy Heckerling wanted to cast her because of the "Cryin'" video. "I also got two MTV Movie Awards for The Crush - Best Villain and Best Newcomer Actress so that was the beginning," she said. "The Aerosmith videos came alongside all of these films."
