The actor cracked the joke to his co-star while the pair were filming Materialists together.

When anyone works long hours on a project together, they’re going to develop a rapport that allows them to read one another easily—knowing what jokes will go over well and what jokes won’t. Pedro Pascal read his co-star very well indeed when he joked recently that Dakota Johnson should start an OnlyFans. She thought it was hilarious, as did fans of both actors who have been loving the off-screen banter they’ve been sharing with the world while promoting their upcoming film, Materialists.

Pedro Pascal is a Chilean and American actor best known for his work in The Mandalorian, The Last of Us, and Game of Thrones. He’s a consistent fan favorite. Yes, he has movie-star good looks, but it’s his warm nature and down-to-earth vibe that have made him a memeworthy celebrity. Dakota Johnson first rose to fame for her role in Fifty Shades of Grey, and also received high praise for her performances in The Lost Daughter and Persuasion. She’s become well known for her dry wit and her unique ability to keep interviews spicy without tipping over into inappropriate. Both actors have a history of tackling roles that are a little unconventional and turning their characters into pop culture icons.

The duo has strong chemistry on camera, and a solid friendship off camera. They seem to have built their relationship around mutual admiration and quickly-timed inside jokes. The remark Pascal made about Johnson joining OnlyFans is just the latest quip shared between them. He made the joke in a playful tone that wasn’t at all serious. She took it in the spirit it was intended. The public in general had a similar reaction to Johnson, finding Pascal’s joke hilarious and just another endearing moment between him and a co-star.

Part of what makes Pascal so charming and appealing to his fanbase is his commitment to being a safe man in the entertainment industry. That’s why he was able to joke about Johnson joining OnlyFans without coming off as creepy or rude. He’s always been that guy. And he can get away with it because women feel safe with him.

That said, should Dakota Johnson decide to join OnlyFans, she’d be in very good company, as there are already many celebrities on the adults-only website. Household names such as Cardi B, Denise Richards and daughter Sami Sheen, and Drea de Matteo have all made bands since joining the platform. While it has a reputation for amateur porn, OnlyFans also offers easy income and creative control for anyone with a large audience who will follow them there.

Whether or not Dakota Johnson decides to run with her co-star’s idea is up in the air, but fans can look forward to seeing the duo in Materialists this summer. The film, directed by Celine Song and co-starring Chris Evans, is set to release on June 13th, 2025, by A24 Films.
