After being asked on Today about her one dating "non-negotiable," Johnson shocked host Craig Melvin and her Materialists costar Chris Evans with her blunt response.

Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans are excited about their upcoming film Materialists and have been actively touring to discuss the movie and its central themes of dating and dating expectations, often to hilarious effect.

Some highlights have been Pascal calling out Johnson for not remembering the first time they met, and Evans epically winning a round of identifying romance films based on one, sometimes incredibly obscure, line.


The latest happened on the TODAY Show, where Johnson appeared alongside Evans.

During the interview, the costars were asked what some of their dating non-negotiables were for current or future partners. Evans offered an adorable response of "must love dogs." Aww.

He earnestly asked:

"If you're not a dog person, what are we doing?"

Johnson, however, was very blunt in her answer:

"Like, not an a**hole?"

Host Craig Melvin looked shocked and laughed nervously before Evans covered for her:

"That's concise! There it is. Nail on the head."

Others completely agreed with her simple non-negotiable.

This conversation followed close on the heels of Johnson parting ways with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin after their relationship's future had been questionable for quite a while.

But fans understood what Johnson was saying and celebrated the act of simply being kind, considerate, and well, not an a**hole to other people, especially if you're eager to date them.

The conversation continued over on Instagram, where viewers similarly agreed with Johnson.

There's something to be said for both Johnson's and Evans' responses. An animal lover dating someone who does not love that animal will probably make both people miserable, and the same goes for someone who wants to be treated a certain way in a relationship.

Materialists is set to appear on June 13, 2025, but it wouldn't be surprising if Johnson, Evans, or Pascal drop another pearl of wisdom between now and then!

According to a preliminary finding from the medical examiner, shared by his office, Graham died after suffering an aortic dissection—a tear in the inner wall of the aorta—linked to hardening of the arteries.

John Hinckley Jr. Shares New Message For Jodie Foster 45 Years After Shooting Ronald Reagan To Impress Her

Some Hollywood stories fade with time. The disturbing history connecting Jodie Foster and John Hinckley Jr. is not one of them. For those who don’t know, on March 30, 1981, Hinckley waited outside the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C., where President Ronald Reagan had just addressed 5,000 members of the AFL-CIO.

As Reagan emerged from the hotel, Hinckley fired six shots from a revolver. One bullet ricocheted off Reagan’s limousine and struck him beneath his arm. White House Press Secretary James Brady, police officer Thomas Delahanty and Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy were also wounded.

Journalist Reveals Just How Much Money Has Been Diverted From National Parks For Trump's Vanity Projects—And People Are Livid

In a series of articles for MacFarlane News and MeidasTouch, videos, and an appearance on CNN, Chief Washington Correspondent for MeidasTouch Scott MacFarlane blew the whistle on MAGA Republican President Donald Trump’s raiding of National Park Service (NPS) funds. Aided by his Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Trump diverted NPS money to pay for all of his White House and Washington D.C. vanity projects.

Trump’s hand-selected, mostly unwanted and unnecessary White House grounds and National Mall projects—things like a botched reflecting pool resurfacing, golden decor, a helipad, a ballroom, gilded statues, and giant flagpoles—alone took $423 million from major national parks across the country.
