Dakota Johnson stirred up the Sundance Film Festival s opening night by riffing on Call Me By Your Name actor Armie Hammer , whos been accused of sexual assault and cannibalistic urges . (Watch the video below.)
Johnson appeared at the Taste of Sundance dinner in Park City, Utah, to honor Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino. She joked that she almost played the role of the peach in the 2017 gay love story, but had to turn it down.
Thank god, though, she said. I would have been another woman that Armie Hammer had tried to eat.
In the movie, Timothee Chalamets character masturbates with the fruit. Hammers character later discovers whats left of the peach, but in the book he actually consumes it.
Johnson, who starred in Guadagninos A Bigger Splash and Suspiria, later appeared to refer to his 2022 film Bones and All, which features Chalamet as part of a couple who are into human flesh.
Who knew cannibalism was so popular? she cracked.
Her remarks were greeted with gasps and giggles, reported Variety , which shared a video of Johnsons speech.
