Stars, they're just like us, right? Who among us wouldn't fluff a pillow or two when we're expecting company at home. But watch any show about celebrity homes and things start to get a little insane.
In 2020, in a video for Architectural Digest, Dakota Johnson gave viewers a tour of her Hollywood mansion. Lots to see: Books she didn't want to show because they were "weird", a table made of wood from Winston Churchill's yacht, a herb garden overrun with weeds. But when she reached her kitchen, she showed off, of all things, a bowl of huge limes sitting on the counter. "I love limes. I love them so much... and I like to present them like this in my house," she said in the clip.
Who loves limes? Who shows off fresh produce? What's going on, Dakota? The actor addressed the buzz by admitting that the house was styled by a professional for the shoot, limes and all. And that she was actually allergic to the fruit. Sigh. Staging crew 1, viewers 0.
