“I was with my mom and we were meeting Barack Obama and it was a huge deal,” said the 34-year-old.

Dakota told the outlet, “Barack was talking to her and she goes, 'Oh, Mr. President, this is my daughter. She just did a movie. She's an actress too. She was in The Social Network. She's in her underwear.”

“And I died… I died inside,” she remarked.

Elsewhere in the interview, Dakota mentioned that she had some big “preconceived ideas” about her co-star Justin Timberlake.

“I was just like 19 and straddling Justin and like whipping him in the face with my hair. 100% had preconceived notions, but he was lovely and kind and really, you know, welcoming for a person that was just a stranger,” explained the Fifty Shades of Grey star.

Dishing out details about filming 2010 movie, Dakota pointed out, “I think that because this was The Social Network and David Fincher, we did this so many times that I'm like, I'm in it. I know it. I know all the lines. It's still there.”

“We did it so many times that I feel like I remember this and it's happening now. Maybe I was traumatized,” she quipped.
