Dakota Johnson reveals her biggest red flag in men and it might surprise you

Dakota Johnson seemed like she was only half joking

Dakota Johnson got pretty candid as she answered a slew of personal questions in a new interview with Vogue Germany.

As it is Dakota Johnson, you kinda have to take everything she says with a pinch of salt.

Why, you may ask? Well because the film star has previously admitted that lying to the press is the most fun.

At the time she defended occasionally exaggerating the truth by saying: “Sometimes when you’re in a ridiculous situation, you just have to be ridiculous."

But with that said, Johnson let her fans get to know her a bit better during a new interview.

Speaking in a video shared on the Vogue Germany’s YouTube page, Johnson was asked a barrage of seemingly random questions during a cover shoot.

One of those fateful questions touched on her romantic life, as she was asked what was a red flag in men.

Admittedly, there can be all kinds of icks, some justified and normal and sometimes a little more out there, Johnson’s is certainly the latter.

When asked, she simply replied: “Men who wear flip flops in public, run.”

She did also go on to say during the interview that she wasn’t a big fan of cologne, or scents on anyone for that matter.

She said: “No, I don’t love it. I have a really specific olfactory situation happening for me with men and women and everyone.”

This comes after Johnson split up with her long-term boyfriend and fiance, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin earlier this year in June.

Not long after the breakup, in July, Johnson was asked what she was looking for in a partner and decided then not to bring up the flip flops issue.

During an interview with Today, she said: “Just like, not an a**hole.”

Her Materialists costar Chris Evans, who did the interview with her, quickly added on: “That’s concise. There it is. Nail on the head.”

While Johnson did not outright reference her former partner, some took this to be a dig at him.

A source, who was aware of their relationship fallout at the time spoke to the Mail and said: “Their relationship has been over for a long time, they just haven't been able to figure out to make it official.

“'Breakups aren't instant and they continued to breakup and makeup and sometimes things would work when they were away from each other, while they were working because absence makes the heart grow fonder, but then they'd get back together and little things just kept adding up to where they weren't right for each other anymore.”
