In 2019, Dakota Johnson had a panic attack while filming a movie scene. “I just took off running”

While filming a scene for the 2019 drama *Our Friend*, Dakota Johnson said a playback of her recorded voice triggered a reaction she described as a panic attack. The incident offers a glimpse of the emotional intensity involved in filming a story about a family facing serious illness.

Johnson told Jimmy Fallon she ran around the theatre and backstage, then laughed, stopped moving and began to cry, leaving the crew unsure how to respond. She appeared partly to be joking as she recounted it, and the article suggests her response may have been a strong reaction to the film’s subject matter.
