Climbing on the success ladder with a range of diverse roles across several genres, Dakota Johnson has now begun testing her producing skills with her next film,Daddio.Starring herself alongside Sean Penn, the upcoming drama flick has already generated sufficient interest for its cast involving only the two primary actors and a plot revolving around and taking place mostly within a cab in New York City, setting the stage for an unmatched depth of character development.
Staying true to her merit of leaving no stone unturned in making her every outing a successful one, thePersuasionactress recently opened up on a straight-up unconventional audition that the team settled for filling in a scene. While productions in the past have gone above and beyond in their quest to land that perfect actor, Johnson’s call was for a faceless persona.
Daddiocame up with an ingenious idea to fill a bizarre role
Dakota Johnsonportrays the role of Girlie, a young woman taking a cab back to her apartment in Manhattan after landing at the airport, with the driver beingSean Penn’s character, Clark. During the course of the travel, the former keeps a chat open with an undisclosed and“ominous third character,”who resorts to sending a“di*k pic,”that does make its way to the screen, requiring the need forDaddioto feature one picture depicting the same.

In her June 2024 appearance onThe Jimmy Kimmel Liveshow, the actress revealed how they got around it. Admitting that the movie did not have stock di*k pictures to choose from, the movie’s prop master, Diana Burton conjured an idea, asking her group of male friends to contribute anonymously with private clicks. Johnson and the team then went through the received drops to settle on their perfect choice.
When we were casting the di-k pic, there’s not really a back stock of p*nis photos that are usable in movies. The photos were studied intently. The four of us, just like four women [saying], ‘This one’s nice, that one’s not great.’
Humorous as it may sound, the ordeal detailed the actual process that goes behind the making of a movie, which, at times, utilizes ingenious ways as such to achieve its desired goal.
