Dakota Johnson cha cha’d real smooth onto the Saturday Night Live stage.
The Materialists actress made a surprise appearance in the Dec. 13 episode of SNL—hosted by Josh O’Connor—during Lily Allen’s musical guest performance, stepping out as the mistress in Lily’s hit song, “Madeline.”
Throughout the performance, Dakota, 36, could be seen lounging on a bed hidden behind translucent curtains while Lily sang the lyrics to the track, which tells the story of a woman confronting her husband’s mistress, named Madeline. But her identity was concealed until the end of the performance when Dakota stepped up behind Lily, 40, to place a tender kiss on her cheek.
Throughout the performance, Dakota chimed in by speaking the lines of the fictional woman’s text messages.
“Hey, he is telling you the truth,” she recited as Madeline. “Our relationship has only ever been about sex. I can promise you that this is not an emotional connection. We don’t speak outside the time we spend together. And whenever he talks about you, it’s with the utmost respect.”
