At 26, Dakota Johnson has happened in only a few months of being the daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, as an actress known around the world for "Fifty Shades of Grey" and now "Black Mass" ("Pact criminal" in our country) with Johnny Depp. She said she feels "extremely lucky and grateful."
"I've worked hard and I am happy and proud of what I've achieved," the actress says in an interview with Efe at the Venice Film Festival, where "Black Mass" was released.
With a dress tweed -beige almost indistinguishable from her white skin, the actress is shy and smiling, with a striking resemblance to her mother, Melanie Griffith.
"For a long time, it was difficult for me to take me seriously as an actress, but at the same time my parents allowed me to meet a lot of people," she admits.
In "Black Mass" is the wife of the historic criminal James 'Whitey' Bulger (Johnny Depp), the humanity behind the shadow of a complex character who dominated South Boston for nearly 20 years, from the mid-seventies to 1994, thanks his cooperation with the FBI.
"It was amazing to work with Johnny Depp, he is an extraordinary actor and an exceptional person, is a lovely person and it was wonderful working with him; He was very generous," says the actress.
A role that she accepted as a challenge to have to play a real character. Gangster movies "usually are from another era, but this was a fairly recent history," notes the actress.
Bulger was captured in 2011 after more than fifteen years on the run from justice. "It is fresh in the minds of people and is still alive. There's something really seductive and trapping in the history," says the actress.
And on the reasons that led her to choose the characters she plays, it says that it is difficult "to find a common pattern" in the roles she has done so far.
"I mainly do the things that really excite me, that are different from the last thing I did. For example, this film, gangster and with interesting characters, which make you want to know more about the people lifes and why they've done terrible things," she says with a sweet smile.
