    Dakota Johnson had the "worst time" on 'The Office'

    The 34-year-old actress made a cameo appearance on the hit TV show back in 2013 - but Dakota didn't enjoy the experience at all


    The Hollywood star said on 'Late Night With Seth Meyers': "That was honestly the worst time of my life.

    "They were like, 'Do you want to be in the series finale?' And I was like, 'Of course,' thinking that I'd show up for like half a day. I was there for two weeks. And I'm barely in the show."

    Dakota explained that there were "weird" on-set dynamics.

    The actress added: "Some people didn't speak to each other. No one wanted to talk to me."

    Dakota has enjoyed huge success during her career, starring in the 'Fifty Shades' franchise and 'Madame Web', the new Marvel movie.

    However, the brunette beauty recently confessed that she was financially "cut off" by her family after she decided to pursue an acting career.

    Dakota - who is the daughter of actors Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith - said on the 'Today' show: "He cut me off. He said if you go to college, you still get an allowance. And I was like, 'Well, I'm going to be an actress.' So he was like, 'Alright, well you're on your own.' I was cut off."

    Dakota ultimately turned to modelling in order to pay her rent while she pursued her acting ambitions.

    Reflecting on her struggles, Dakota - who starred alongside Jamie Dornan in the money-spinning 'Fifty Shades' franchise - said: "I definitely like had moments where I couldn't afford groceries and things like that and needed to ask my mom to help me. She was the nice one."
