Don Johnson mentions Dakota at a Q&A + on "Kelly & Michael"

Q&A Today

Transcription by EDJ:

Don on his reaction when he found out Dakota wanted to be an actress: "Shoched. Because she had never studied, she had bever been in a play, she had never, to know my knowledge, she...I didn't even know she ws paying attention when she was on the set with me or her maom or her mom and I when we were working together and so I thought she was a prankster. She was just playing big pranks on everybody and, you know, she's always been puckish like that. We have a rule in my family and the rule is, is that, as long as you go to school I pay. You're on the payroll, I cover everything and when you stpo going to school, you pay. It's a good rule, yeah, cuz you get really smart kinds or you get gainfully employed kids."

Don Johnson on his kids: "They're all pretty mych self-sufficient and yeah, you know I help them out here and there and stuff like that but Dakota in her last year of, whenever you're supposed to look for colleges, I think it's the end of junior year or something like that. I went to her and I said, 'So, do you wanna go and look at some colleges somewhere? Maybe think about where you wanna go,' and she said, 'Oh no, I'm not going. I'm not going to college, no way,' 'Oh really? Good for me but how are you going to live?' she said, 'Don't you worry about it, I'm gonna be an actress, of course.'

She [Dakota] said, 'Don't worry about it, I'm gonna look after myself,' and so sure enough, three months later, she got a David Fincher movie "The social Nerwork", and then she got another movie and then she got another one, and then she got a television series and then she got "Fifty Shades of Grey", the she did "Black Mass" and the she...I mean, now she won't even return my calls."
