4392 points · submitted by invis2020 Good luck with bookin that stage u speak of to r/popculturechat
The couple were pictured coming out of a music studio. They left together and headed to her home and his car was spotted outside the morning after too.
Dakota. Girl…
(Source: P6)
I’m sorry, but “and his shorts” needs to be the new “seemingly bald”, I’m dying with laughter
lmfao what a lucky girl
He’s got that Hank Hill concave cake
At least they're white.....
And the way she is smiling at him in this same pic is absolutely sending me like lmaooooooooo
Like what is this fucking trend? Why am I seeing crack?
I was thinking for a sec why tf his shorts, huh? Apparently, I wasn’t ready for the 3rd pic.
He looks like my toddler when he puts on his older siblings' pants to feel included
I’m laughing so hard at this comparison
Those are not shorts those are longs
Please show me what jeremy allen white resting linguini face is
"shorts" is inaccurate. MGK and his culottes.
Are there only two men in Hollywood?
Him and Pete Davidson are being passed around like a hot potato, no wonder they’re best friends
They’re like Spain and Portugal when they divided the world between the two of them, except they do it with Hollywood women
my theory is someone’s PR team plays matchmaker and dreams up a “bad boy” for these women to date and be photographed with when they’re worried their client isn’t being thought of sexually enough. between this and Dakota’s every red carpet being sheer I feel like I’m not wrong. with Kim they probably thought there was risk of her being associated too much with motherhood/divorce so enter a large phallic shaped boyfriend.
Phallic shaped bf lmaoooo
I didn’t know they were best friends yet this makes so much sense
My mom said when she was young there were a couple of dudes she and all her friends dated (never seriously)because there was an element of "you absolutely have to see this shit for yourself" and I think this might be happening here
Before someone posts a "stay away from her get a job meme" lemme say this...she is exactly where she wants to be
Her bangs are the only thing always making great choices
Those bangs are a cry for help
The bangs are a response to a cry for help.
Like she even was in that SNL skit about dating musicians two weeks ago
Edit: not a skit, but her monologue
I keep saying this. She's besties with Taylor Swift and was with Chris Martin for years. She's not some esoteric, mysterious cool girl; she just has excellent hair. It's the same logic that people apply to Timothee Chalamet just because he looks like someone who would be a performative artsy male. He's loudly said who he is and what he likes from the jump, and that is Kid Cudi and LA baddies.
EDIT: Just because you as an individual don't see Dakota Johnson as a cool girl doesn't mean that other people don't! I'm neutral on her personally, but you'd be surprised how cool some people think she is based on nothing she's ever said or done.
I don’t see her as cool / artsy at all.
But I feel like, there is surely a big range that you can go through between artsy and MgK? Idk 😅
I don't think people necessarily think she's a cool girl, I just feel like most people cannot understand why any woman would wanna date MGK. There were similar comments, if not more aggressive ones when he dated Megan Fox.
Sometimes you just need a guy who knows how to F. Plus he’s nice enough so why not. Personally, the shorts and exposed tiny bum crack would give me the ick but to each their own.
Not gonna work if you're too busy dying inside at everything he does and the way he dresses.
Looks like a kid who is getting walked home from detention and assured he's getting McDonalds because the big mean principal punished him for assaulting a teacher.
Same. I feel like the only explanation is that celebrities move around in really small circles so they only have so many choices.
Also he did pull Megan Fox. So his stocks prob moved up after that.
And then later on everyone was like ohhh that’s why, both yall crazy like that.
Just like zooey deschanel with a property brother.
Their image isn't their real personality
I think after being married to Ben Gibbard from Death Cab For Cutie, she realised that the manic pixie dream girl life isn’t doable 24/7.
My wife met her Zooey's fiancé last week (Jonathon Scott) - dude has a new TV show coming out soon. Said he was an intelligent guy, so add that to his tall & handsome looks and you see what most women would like/prefer in a long-term stable relationship.
edit. Zooey's fiancé Jonathon Scott. lol. sorry for the bad grammar.
Contrats (?) to your wife and her fiancé
Swear that’s how I read it.
Well, he's a magician who had a real estate brother and ended up with a tv show. There is a reason he lives in Vegas. He's a magician.
The only reason I give a shit about Timothy Chalamet is because he had an incredible stylist with the twink matador outfit.
It’s really been all downhill from there
I would argue that in his ascendency he was more willing to take fashion risks and it worked so often for him. Less so in recent years.
For your enjoyment, a Vogue gallery from 2024
https://www.vogue.co.uk/miss-vogue/gallery/timothee-chalamet-fashion
He did have me fooled with all his little suits and R&B stances.
It's not that people think she's cool or esoteric it's bc no one likes MGK 😂
Oh hey, Cudi catching strays? What did I miss?
She really does have excellent hair.
I think mgk and Pete Davidson are just like a dating based hobby. Like taking in a shelter pet or something. It lasts until they get tired of replacing shoes and the furniture getting rearranged and they break up and go back to normal.
Like Jlo and affleck. She gets burned out and needs to get away so she hangs out with an old fling.
It’s like those teddybears that kids take turns taking home from school and they have to mind it
All is fun and games til half the class has lice!
All these "why, Dakota?!?!" comments are giving parasocial. She's not as cool and cerebral as people think she is.
ETA: a lot of people are saying why would anyone date MGK but aside from looks why would anyone date Dakota Johnson?
Working in kitchens for years this is the most parasocial and connected I've ever felt to her. I've always joked if I was 5 or so years younger I would have ended up dating a soundcloud rapper line cook. This is not a compliment to myself.
Yeah I’m almost 40 and live a pretty cosy life with my cats but there’s a reason I’ve done coke in a walk in freezer. The Chaos Goblin Line Cooks are a rite of passage, I actually feel quite warm towards them as a species (now that I don’t have to deal with them irl)
Easy access to drugs, the scent of fire and grease, rough hands, and the promise of perfect eggs and coffee in the morning. My DMs were exceptionally busy when The Bear debuted.
There's a bunch of us in r/kitchenconfidential
Whenever women see me cook I have to be like "ladies -- I'm a mess"
Mise en place mfer.
Don't look at credit history but baby check out his knife work
/breaks down a sack of onions in 10 minutes
I thank whatever is up there every day that me and my line cook managed to escape our goblin phases, get day jobs and build a cozy life with our cats, but damn there were some crazy times.
Ironically, all the coke heads I knew were the restaurant owners 😂
Literally the only reason people think she’s cool is that she’s like final boss level of nepotism which gives her the freedom to occasionally clap back or be unashamedly quirky. She’s not better than other celebs, she just has enough money and power that she can afford to appear slightly more authentic.
The the size of her fandom is wildly disproportionate to her talent. She is protected by her looks and her friendships.
It was weird that some people bought into that. She's always been the typical sarcastic rich girl who says what she thinks because she's a massively connected nepobaby with endless safety nets.
Honestly, sometimes a girl gotta date a cringe tall white man just to get it out of the system lol, we’ve all been there
Just don’t marry him like I did. Big mistake.
yep. Went through that one. tall, skinny, covered in tattoos, and gave me BV in my 20s. Absolute 1/10 experience. He was cute tho. Gross, but cute.
He looks like a weasel that ran through a thrift store and accidently came out fully dressed
I always get the sense he smells like a dirty ferret cage so this tracks.
I think it's important to have anti-role models, people older than us that show us exactly what we don't want to become
I guess that's what Dakota Johnson is doing by going from Role Model to MGK lmao
As a woman, I've always struggled to understand the logistics of wearing pants that low. They are basically just being held up by his junk. Is that uncomfortable?
And his little butt crack visible through his boxers in photo 3. I threw up in my mouth a little (standard response to seeing MGK tbh)
Throwing it back like Hank Hill I tell you hwat
https://giphy.com/gifs/833A47t0HK2cg
Boy ain’t right
How bad are the men in Hollywood that Pete Davidson and MGK are being used as the pants of sisterhood of the traveling pants that much
Imagine being a famously beautiful woman in the spotlight making millions…. But you feel Pete Davidson is an adequate partner.
I’d rather be poor forever and have self worth
Monkey paw curse
sisterhood of the traveling shorts
Is it that or that they’re the easiest free dick in town?
they’re rich, successful celebrities known for being beautiful, isn’t every dick easy dick?
As opposed to other men not being easy dick?
I have never seen an Pete Davidson ex talking bad about his dick, in fact we know too much about that dick I wish we knew less
I am her age and I cannot fathom to have the hots for a man wearing his shorts like this. 🤢
I’m younger than her but to me she looks like a mom walking her son who just got detention to the car lol.
Taking him for a treat at McDonald's to make up for said detention.
Same! I saw these pictures and thought she must be loads younger than me because I remember boys doing this in high school and I couldn't cope with dating a grown man doing it
Right?
I don’t get how you look at the dude in Pic 3 and think yum, I’ll have me some of that. Honestly, I don’t get how people find a grown man walking around with his tighty-whiteys exposed and his pants hanging off his arse attractive.
Absolute ladyboner killer.
Ironically, they’re only a year apart but dress like they’re from different decades lol
RIGHT this is where im stuck
I kinda like this picture.
It looks like they texting each other
"Look, it's the paparazzi we called earlier"
It looks like a poster for a Dakota Johnson movie.
He looks like if Denis Leary was a soundcloud rapper
Can somebody explain the attraction of MGK? In her case it's not money because she has her own. Is he super funny or charismatic or something? I'm not even being snarky, I'm genuinely curious
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. He has line cook energy, and IYKYK.
Yeah I can see it. She wants a small dose of crazy.
I married a line cook who's 6 years younger than me. He put two kids in me. We are still married.
Be careful out there they are NOT playing.
He also is the hardest working man I have EVER dated. He has provided everything for us. Works on boats now. So I got the rare line cook boat man Louisiana man crossover. LETHAL combo.
I just remember the engagement ring he got Megan Fox was designed to hurt her when she took it off and so he is yikes imo.
MGK and Megan Fox were both exactly where they wanted to be lol
They were like if a 14 year old high school couple making out at the lockers every day were grown adults with children
Agree. Wish they never had a kid, but maybe that’s what finally made them leave each other tf alone. Lol
It usually is. That baby starts shitting everywhere and the magic spell is BROKEN.
That's fair considering none of them got to have normal cringey teenage relationships. Mgk became a single father and Megan was groomed by a creep
Excuse me, wtf?
Each band is textured and detailed with thorns, which MGK has publicly stated are meant "to hurt" if removed.
He told Vogue, "If she tries to take it off, it hurts... Love is pain."
🤮 https://www.goodstoneinc.com/blogs/news/megan-fox-enegagement-ring
This is so tumblr haha. But that’s also how Megan Fox is. They’re both weirdos.
Now put those thorns on his pants.
Probably the same reason why we questioned all these women attracted to Pete Davidson 🤦♀️
See, now that one I think is just plain charisma (and being very funny). I reckon he's charming AF in the first stages of dating. Enough so you forget the red flags LOL But I don't see MGK having that kind of charm...
She's a weirdo, that's why.
I cannot wrap my head around the attraction to this man. In any form.
What am I missing?
If it’s any consolation he was really nice when I met him once lol. Might be a personality thing. But then you hear how he treated Megan Fox and then I don’t have an answer for you. Was that thing about the ring with the spike true?
Dakota Johnson loves a musician. Chris Martin, Role Model, and now MGK... Maybe she's just having fun after getting out of a long-term relationship with Chris.
Why were his shorts there. Is a there three way going on
The shorts are hanging off his knees
idk why you all give dakota johnson this kind of mysterious, wandering girl type vibe when you can watch her filmography and see its…. not great. she dresses cool so people have created their own identity for her that shes never actually said or presented beyond her garms? this is right in her lane. this feels like when people found out timothee chalamet was a theatre kid from new york whos gassed hes dating kylie jenner, and not this art hoe lmao. ‘she can do better’ why do you believe dakota is somehow morally better than mgk? this is her she just has bangs and a fur coat every now and then.
Your comment is going to be buried because everyone is too busy dunking on MGK but I want to know why people think she is slumming. She has some fun interview moments and she wears nice clothes but that doesn't tell me anything about her as a person. I don't get why everyone thinks she is so above this.
She’s devoid of any personality so people project heavily onto her and thus created this whole cool girl mystique that her PR also feeds on
girl why?
is the tall alt guy women's version of goth gfs for men
Yes for sure
I have a theory that these rich white women who have everything are insanely bored so they date these problematic men because they find the drama that comes with them “exciting”.
Is this where you go when you can’t get Pete Davidson?
The Pete Davidson you have at home
People have this elevated opinion of Dakota like she is above certain things and people. They think she is slumming but she really isn't.
I think because she called out Ellen for whatever was going on. Broken clock...
I still don’t understand how that was such a big deal. One person jokes about not being invited, the other person clarifies that they actually were.
“OMG SHE TOOK ELLEN DOWN SHES SO REAL FOR THIS.”
Omg yes, this has always been such a weird narrative! The party thing wasn't that serious. It was a super busy celebrity realizing she missed an invite to an event. There was no scandal around it.
The scandal came from her former employees speaking out about their treatment at work. It had nothing to do with the Dakota interview.
THANK YOU. I’ve always found this really puzzling. Ellen made a stupid boomer joke and everyone was like “Dakota epically called out her LIES”
“and his shorts” is KILLING me.
Those aren't shorts, those are capris lmao.
Anyway, I don't get what any woman sees in him. All I see when I look at him is the piss poor way he treated Meghan Fox and that video where he crashed out because the emo community rightfully called him out on being a poser.
As a fellow dude I do not understand this dude’s pull, dude dresses like every single drugged-out, toothpick-framed, trailer park kid who just put out a mixtape in 2009. Dude is almost 40.
It is very embarrassing as a woman to see women give him attention. It's like that tweet "I don't support all women. Some of you bitches are very dumb!"
He dresses like my one cousin, who has been in and out of jail 6 times (coincidentally also lived in a trailer and made a mixtape around the 2009 timeframe lmaoo)
wow ive never heard a more accurate description of this cheating scumbag
https://giphy.com/gifs/l0HU0kPyqOqPg08UM
His shorts look like the gauchos I wore in 7th grade
Are they even shorts if they're 3/4s down his calf?? Anyways...I always stress that I'll see a skid mark on men who wear them like this
Here's Arthur once wearing his dad's shorts. No doubt this is similar.
And his shorts (derogatory)
In her defense, she's always been very dumb.
It must be
https://giphy.com/gifs/OjuxQYANA1l36DogQj
They say the same about Pete Davidson
Are they long shorts or short longs?
Always surprised when every director goes with Dakota keeping that same exact hairstyle for every role in every film. Her characters are all visually interchangeable
No offense, but I can’t fathom a world where being around this guy is better than being single.
How is this guy always dating gorgeous incredibly famous women
Seriously!!! Him and Pete Davidson, it baffles me. This needs to be studied.
Crazy what just being tall can do for you
He’s repulsive to me
Thing is though, if I was hot and rich and connected, I'd probably date some hot losers too. In poor life you often have to be more careful about who you date, be more picky. Can this person provide? Make me feel secure? Build a future with me? Be a good parent? Are they carrying tons of debt? Do they own a car, have a job? Etc. All the mundane daily things we have to think about when considering a relationship with someone as poors.
If you yourself are rich and secure and just want some fling, then fuck it, have fun with the hot idiot for 5 months. Nothing to lose.
Those aren’t shorts those are palazzo pants
I could deal with a sag but with white boxer briefs homie? Boo this man.
This man and Pete Davidson are fascinating.
Line cook energy
Two white slices of bread on a nothing sandwich, who cares
He's carrying all those things in his hands because if he put a single thing in his pockets those shorts would be all the way gone 😂
Damn two talentless people together. Perfect fit
I would become the most virginal cloistered nun with no WiFi and a vow of silence than be seen anywhere with that dude.
He looks like he licks catalytic converters after he "borrows" them
He is so foul.🤮
Every pic has the I can fix him face.
Her choice in men is as good as her acting
She just had an interview about how she was sad not to have a child yet/be married.
How is this a good choice for her to achieve those things. He already has 2 kinds and left his ex right before birth.
The female version of the guy who thinks he’s an intellectual then dates the dumbest pick me girl available
