Transcript
00:00Is love more important than material things?
00:02Yes.
00:03Stephanie?
00:04The machine is detecting some deception.
00:06Stephanie, you are lying.
00:08Stephanie needs to be on a lie detector test.
00:11Stephanie is telling the truth.
00:13Dakota, do you know why you're here today?
00:15For press?
00:23Does my hair still look good?
00:26Thank you so much.
00:28Does that feel okay?
00:29It feels really good.
00:31It feels horrible.
00:32I'm going to start by asking a few questions to get a baseline for the machine.
00:35Please answer honestly.
00:37Yes ma'am.
00:38Is your name Dakota Maii Johnson?
00:41Yes.
00:42Were you born on October 4th?
00:43Yes, yes.
00:44That's my birthday.
00:45Are you ready to take another lie detector test?
00:48Yes.
00:50Let's start with your career.
00:53Your family has been called Hollywood royalty.
00:56Do you think you'd make a good royal?
00:58Yeah, I probably would.
00:59Yeah.
01:00Is that why you named your production company Tea Time Pictures?
01:04No.
01:05Why did you name it Tea Time Pictures?
01:07Because I like tea and it's nice to talk about things and think about things during tea time.
01:13And that's what Roe and I do.
01:15Sounds lovely.
01:16Speaking of royals, both you and the late Queen Elizabeth II are big fans of daily baths.
01:21Yes.
01:22Do you think a bath is the cure to all unhappiness?
01:25I wish.
01:27That would be so nice.
01:28Queen Elizabeth reportedly had a staff member who would measure her bath temperature with a thermometer before she went in.
01:35Have you ever had someone do that for you?
01:37No.
01:38Will you consider doing it now?
01:39Yeah.
01:40Yeah.
01:41I would love that.
01:42You've also talked about how you claim to need at least 10 hours of sleep every night.
01:47How many hours did you sleep last night?
01:49Um, 11.
01:53But I don't feel well, so that's why.
01:57That's understandable.
01:58You've said you're not functional without 10 hours.
02:01Do you think 10 hours of sleep is reasonable advice for the average person?
02:05I feel like people should sleep however much or little they want to.
02:11You appeared in the movie The Social Network, but rarely used social media.
02:14Did the movie scare you from having an online presence?
02:18No.
02:19The machine is detecting some deception.
02:22Okay.
02:23I don't feel like The Social Network made me scared of social media, no.
02:28Social media makes me scared of social media.
02:30Since you claim to not be online, let's test if you know these online people.
02:38Is that a person on a TV show?
02:45Oh, is it call her daddy?
02:47No.
02:48Do you know who this is?
02:51Are they not the same person?
02:52That's call her daddy.
02:54Alex Cooper.
02:55This is call...
02:56This is...
02:57Okay.
02:58Okay.
02:59Who's this?
03:00That's Alex Earl.
03:01They're both named Alex?
03:02Mm-hmm.
03:03And what are they...
03:04They both do podcasts?
03:05Mm-hmm.
03:06Are they friends?
03:07I don't know.
03:08Are they enemies?
03:09I don't know.
03:10Is there beef?
03:11Could be.
03:12Oh, shit.
03:13About their podcasts?
03:14Do they talk about the same things?
03:16What's going on?
03:18Should I be friends with them?
03:19If you would like to be.
03:20They look like nice people.
03:21Am I lying?
03:22Oh, the wires are crossed.
03:24It's because it's picking up me internally.
03:27Do you have any thoughts on Mark Zuckerberg's recent makeover?
03:33Has he not always looked like this?
03:35I don't really have an opinion about Mark Zuckerberg's wardrobe.
03:43I kind of like his glasses.
03:45They're kind of goofy.
03:47They make him look sweet, which is, I think, nice for him.
03:51Because historically, you know.
03:53What does his shirt say?
03:54All zuck or all nothing.
03:56All zuck.
03:57Wow.
03:58Poor guy.
03:59Someone's like, yeah, wear that.
04:00You're gonna be starring in Verity, which is based on a best-selling book by Colleen Hoover.
04:08Tell us the truth.
04:10Have you read it?
04:11Yes.
04:12I liked the book.
04:13I mean, that's...
04:14I'm in it.
04:15I'm in the movie.
04:16Does it still count if you listen to the audiobook?
04:19Yeah.
04:20Did you read all the books for Fifty Shades of Grey?
04:24Yeah.
04:25Then name them all.
04:26Oh, God.
04:28Fifty Shades of Grey.
04:30And the last one is Fifty Shades Freed.
04:33And the middle one is...
04:39It's in my brain.
04:41Fifty Shades Darker.
04:45Did your work on Fifty Shades of Grey inspire you to start your sexual wellness company, Maud?
04:50Maybe a little bit.
04:52Yeah.
04:53I didn't start the company, though.
04:55I just work with them and with Eva.
04:57This person plays one of your love interests in Materialists.
05:01Mm-hmm.
05:02Is he more of a zaddy than this love interest?
05:05A what?
05:06Zaddy.
05:07Zaddy.
05:08Z-A-D-D-Y?
05:09What does that mean?
05:10Who's...
05:11Who's...
05:12Who did that?
05:13What does the Z part stand for?
05:15Who's the hotter daddy?
05:17Is that what you're saying?
05:19Both of them?
05:21On a scale of one to ten, how much of a zaddy are they?
05:24I'm gonna give them both a solid seven.
05:27Eight?
05:28An eight.
05:29Is that better?
05:30Okay.
05:31These photos are so crazy next to each other, though.
05:34Your character in the movie is a matchmaker.
05:35Have you ever matched people up in real life?
05:37Not...
05:38Uh...
05:39Intentionally.
05:40Like, I thought people might like each other, and it turns out they have.
05:54But I've never been like, oh, you guys need to meet.
05:58So you've never put in the work to match your friends up?
06:01No, no, no.
06:02No.
06:03I...
06:04I...
06:05I'm too busy.
06:06Let's move on to your life.
06:09You and this friend...
06:11Yeah?
06:12Once had a band called Folky Porn.
06:15Yeah.
06:16Would you care to explain this name?
06:18We used to sing, like, folk songs with my brother, who would play guitar.
06:25And we'd do, like, three-part harmonies on, like, Hank Williams songs.
06:31And we just called it Folky Porn.
06:34I don't know why.
06:36Is it true that you met Riley in the parking lot of an In-N-Out burger?
06:39Yeah.
06:40That is true.
06:41Is that a common meeting place for Hollywood kids to meet?
06:46I don't know.
06:48I guess no.
06:50How could I lie about that?
06:52She's telling the truth.
06:53Now.
06:54Fuck yeah.
06:57Would you say you're a ride-or-die friend to Riley?
07:00Yes.
07:01If she asked you to lie about where she was last night, would you do it?
07:04Yes.
07:05Even to the police?
07:06Yeah.
07:08She's telling the truth.
07:11Speaking of friendship,
07:12you once sent a man who broke your friend's heart a gallon of gorilla shit.
07:18Can you confirm or deny that this happened?
07:20I mean, there's no way that he would watch this.
07:22So, yes, I did do that.
07:25And it's been quite a while.
07:27It's been some years.
07:28How would one order something like that, asking for a friend?
07:32Shitsenders.com.
07:33You can order any kind.
07:36Any size.
07:37Truthful.
07:39You've also mentioned that you know where to order pubic crabs online.
07:43Have you ever ordered them?
07:45No.
07:47Good lord.
07:48I'm not a monster.
07:49Do you have the website bookmarked, just in case?
07:51No.
07:52I was just about to say something, but then that person would find out about that and I'm not going there.
07:58Fine.
07:59The last time you took this test, you said you would never close the gap in your teeth.
08:04I did?
08:06Oh, that's so sad.
08:08Do you mind looking at this camera and giving it a smile?
08:10Be honest, did it really close on its own?
08:15Yes.
08:16It did.
08:17Stephanie, is that true?
08:19Inconclusive.
08:21Come on, Stephanie.
08:22Oh, oh my god.
08:24Look at it.
08:25Because of that big lie you told a couple of lies ago.
08:30The machine doesn't know what to do.
08:33No, it closed on its own.
08:34I had one of those wires since I was a little kid and then I took it off because I wasn't a little kid anymore.
08:41And then it closed.
08:43Would you say you take good care of your teeth?
08:45Yeah.
08:46Do you floss every day?
08:47Yeah.
08:49Brush twice a day?
08:50Yeah.
08:51I feel really proud of that.
08:52You should.
08:53Not many people do.
08:54You've often called yourself a private person.
08:56Would you still consider yourself one?
08:58Mhm.
08:59Then why did you decide to do another lie detector test with us?
09:03Because I want to see how good I am at lying.
09:06That's the truth.
09:10Now, pop culture.
09:13Oh, oh god.
09:15Dakota, you said in 2017 that you grew up having a vast knowledge of music.
09:20Do you still feel that way?
09:22I think I'm okay.
09:23Mind if we test that knowledge?
09:26Sure.
09:28Do you know what sapphic pop is?
09:30Sapphic pop?
09:32Um, like, Claro?
09:35Is that sapphic pop?
09:36Or like, is that like, is it like...
09:41Like, girly...
09:45Pop?
09:46Lesbian pop?
09:47What is it?
09:48Do you know what it is?
09:49You can't ask the question if you don't know what it is.
09:51Oh my god.
09:52Does the name Kaylee Rose Amstutz mean anything to you?
09:56That is Chapel Rhone's real name.
10:00Motherfucker.
10:04And there she is.
10:05At...
10:08The Met Gala.
10:10I did...
10:11I did nail that one.
10:13Who is this person?
10:17This is Tyla.
10:19She's got great dance moves.
10:20She does.
10:22And is a cutie pie.
10:23She is.
10:24What about this person?
10:26That's a crazy outfit.
10:29This is...
10:31Lalisa.
10:32From Blackpink.
10:34Very good.
10:35Are you guys shocked?
10:37Cause I am.
10:39Next.
10:40Bring it on.
10:41You've been known to attend a few music festivals.
10:44Which would you say is better?
10:45Glastonbury?
10:46Or Coachella?
10:47Glastonbury.
10:48Is that because the British do it better?
10:51Yeah.
10:52In that regard.
10:53Would you have gone a fire festival if it happened?
10:56I was trying to remember what that was.
10:58The scam one, right?
11:00No.
11:01Absolutely not.
11:02That sounds like Coachella, but worse.
11:04You gave Architectural Digest a tour of your home.
11:07And it has since gone viral.
11:09Were you surprised that your green kitchen became so popular?
11:12Yeah.
11:13Sure was.
11:14Would you consider yourself a trendsetter?
11:16Green kitchens are quite popular now.
11:18I don't know if I would consider myself a trendsetter.
11:21Do you have any other decor hot takes?
11:22Decor hot takes.
11:24For example.
11:25Are you a fan of matching furniture sets?
11:28Depends on who made the furniture set.
11:31What about karate chopped pillows?
11:33Sure, but like, why?
11:35You know?
11:36Are accent walls a good look?
11:38No.
11:39Never?
11:41No.
11:42Do you think open floor plans are overrated?
11:44No.
11:45Have you ever lied about liking a friend's decor when you really didn't?
11:48Yeah.
11:49You have to.
11:51She's being truthful.
11:52You can't go in and be like,
11:54Ugh!
11:55Leslie!
11:56What did you do?
11:58You have to go,
12:00Look what you did!
12:02Amazing.
12:03Like that.
12:05Does lying come easy to you?
12:06I don't know.
12:07Does it?
12:08I'm sorry.
12:09What was that?
12:11Stephanie's freaking out.
12:13I'm a psychopath.
12:15Okay.
12:16Final question.
12:17Did you lie at any point during this lie detector test?
12:19And we didn't catch you.
12:21I sure did.
12:23Care to let us know which questions you lied about?
12:25Never.
12:26I'll never tell.
12:28And you know what?
12:29I lied on the first one too.
12:33She's telling the truth.
