While directing her short film Loser Baby, Dakota Johnson made an unexpected discovery—Celsius energy drinks. The Madame Web star, 34, recently shared that she only realized it was an energy drink after consuming several cans on set.
“I found Celsius on the first day of filming and didn’t know it was like Red Bull,” Johnson confessed. She initially believed it to be a natural, vitamin-rich drink, due to its B12 and vitamin A content.
Feeling energized and inspired, Johnson was unknowingly consuming two cans a day. “I was awake all night thinking about everything, not realizing I was overdosing on caffeine,” she said, laughing. Each can of Celsius contains around 200 milligrams of caffeine, and some flavors go up to 270 milligrams—comparable to multiple Red Bulls a day. It wasn’t until a costume designer pointed out the high caffeine content that Johnson realized why she wasn’t sleeping.
Although initially shocked, Johnson joked, “Now I know Celsius is my go-to for night shoots. And if they’re looking for an endorsement, I’m your girl.”
Beyond energy drinks, Johnson revealed she’s also mildly allergic to limes and honeydew, despite a viral video showing them in her kitchen. “Limes make my tongue itch,” she explained on The Tonight Show.
