When Dakota Johnson was filming “The Peanut Butter Falcon” with Shia LaBeouf and Zack Gottsagen in 2017, Shia was arrested for disorderly conduct, public intoxication and obstruction of justice. As Dakota explained to Ellen DeGeneres during a visit to her show this week, it was hard time for everyone, so she tried to support her co-star, however he needed to overcome his demons. “I felt very protective of him and I felt very like, that’s a really terrifying and difficult journey for somebody to experience. And I felt really aware of that.,” she said, according to Page Six. “We were there to make this movie and Zack is really a phenomenal human being and … you feel very awake to the truth of life and humanity and love and people and real connections when you’re with him,” Dakota continued. “I think that that [arrest] was just a kind of a very important moment for Shia,” she added. “I don’t condemn people for their mistakes. I want them to get through it, so that’s what I tried to do.”
