Dakota Johnson’s recent interview with Escorpión Dorado has caused quite the stir on social media. The Hollywood star appeared on the YouTube channel to promote her new film ‘Madame Web’, where she will be portraying the iconic Marvel character.
During the 16-minute interview, Johnson discussed her excitement for taking on her first superhero role and the importance of telling an origin story about a powerful young woman. The conversation also covered lighter topics such as music and food, with Johnson admitting her taste for mole and tacos while drawing the line at grasshoppers.
The interview, which was largely conducted in English, also saw Johnson showcase her impressive Spanish-speaking skills. However, it was a moment that occurred outside the studio that really caught fans’ attention. As Escorpión Dorado bought marzipan from a young street vendor, the segment unintentionally highlighted the issue of child labor in Mexico.
This aspect of the interview sparked controversy and debate on social media, with some people accusing the host of using the encounter to generate interest. While the intent remains unclear, the incident brought to light the harsh reality of child labor in the country. In 2022, Mexico saw a 14% increase in the number of girls working in the country, with a recent national survey reporting 3.7 million working.
The viral interview has now become part of a larger conversation about the social issues the encounter unintentionally brought to light. Meanwhile, fans are looking forward to seeing Dakota Johnson take on her new superhero role in ‘Madame Web’.
