In a casting combination that feels handpicked by the fan-fiction gods themselves, audiences collectively lost their minds when Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans were revealed as the leads in a romantic comedy. The trailer alone had the internet squealing with anticipation, and the subsequent press tour served as the cherry on top. From playful interviews to on-screen chemistry, this trio gave fans everything they never knew they needed. And when the internet's joy was at its peak, a particular injury story had them losing it.

A Fifty Shades of Grey mishap involving injury, Dakota Johnson, and Pedro Pascal’s hysteria left everyone breathless with laughter.

While participating in a rapid-fire interview for Vogue, actors Pedro Pascal and Dakota Johnson were bouncing off each other with the ease of seasoned professionals and the energy of two people slowly losing it. When asked, "Have you ever had an accident while filming?" Pascal casually began listing his on-set injuries. But it was Johnson who delivered the knockout punch, breathlessly laughing as she revealed, “I got whiplash from Fifty Shades of Grey”, a line that launched Pascal straight out of his chair.

The moment was instant comedy gold. Pedro Pascal, caught entirely off-guard, erupted into laughter, visibly wheezing before standing up to physically walk off the whiplash reveal. Dakota Johnson, meanwhile, giggled with the serenity of someone who just derailed an entire interview with one absurd memory. Fans, unsurprisingly, have replayed the moment with cult-like devotion.

The Materialists press moments have accidentally created the funniest group chat that should never be left unsupervised.

The cast of Materialists, Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal, may be acting in a rom-com, but their off-screen chemistry is pure sitcom gold. Chris Evans once kissed a cardboard cutout of Pedro Pascal, as if auditioning for a romantic subplot. Dakota Johnson has publicly admitted that Pedro Pascal frequently steals her clothes, and does so without shame. The bond between the three is so absurdly tight that the film’s director confessed it was hard just keeping them apart on set.

The trio’s chaotic closeness has turned press junkets into improv sketches. Whether Dakota Johnson is roasting Pedro Pascal mid-interview or Chris Evans is leaning into his inner fanboy, they exude the comedic energy of a group project gone off the rails, in the best way possible. It is less of a film promotion and more of a friendship sitcom unfolding in real time.
