An RSVP misunderstanding betweenDakota JohnsonandEllen DeGeneresled to a hilariously awkward interview last week.
“How was the party? I wasn’t invited,” DeGeneres jested, before Johnson quickly reminded her that she was included on the event’s guest list.
“Actually, no, that’s not the truth, Ellen,” Johnson corrected.
Johnson, who visited the show to promote her recent filmPeanut Butter Falcon, then explained that she made it a point specifically to invite DeGeneres after the comedian gave her a hard time for leaving her out last year.

“You have my number, so you could’ve called me,” DeGeneres scolded Johnson during anOctober 2018 appearance on the show, in which the actress laughed off the exclusion.
“Last time I was on the show, last year, you gave me a bunch of s— about not inviting you, but I didn’t even know you wanted to be invited,” Johnson said in the recent appearance, to which DeGeneres responded, “Well, who wouldn’t want to be invited to a party?”
“Well, I didn’t even know you liked me,” Johnson laughed.
When the host doubted whether she actually received an invite to the birthday bash, Johnson elicited an audible audience reaction when she attested: “Ask everybody. Ask Jonathan, your producer, who says you were.”
“Oh yeah, I had that thing,” DeGeneres joked after her producers said she was out of town at the time of the party.
Regardless of her whereabouts on the night of Johnson’s party on Oct. 5, DeGeneres offered a belated thank-you for the invite, confessing that she “didn’t remember that until just now.”

After the birthday party debate was settled, the interview continued to wind down cringe-worthy paths. At one point, Johnson let it slip thatTig Notarois her favorite comedian — while speaking with DeGeneres, a famed stand-up herself.
Then later in the interview, Johnson mentioned in passing that she left one of DeGeneres’ previous parties prematurely, to which the host showed apparent confusion.
“Gosh, this isn’t going well,” Johnson laughed about the awkward interview.
Little did she know there were more cringes to come, as she was forced to stay uncomfortably tight-lipped about boyfriendChris Martin, when DeGeneres did her best to get her to open up about their relationship.
And eventually after that, Johnson was shown a previousEllenclip in which her costarShia LaBeoufnamed her as hisbest on-screen kiss, an assertion he promptly called a lie. “Classic,” Johnson joked about the moment.

“dakota johnson on ellen is exactly how some of my dates go,” one user self-deprecated in atweet, while anotherrequestedthat the video clip be played at their funeral.
Though DeGeneres couldn’t make it, plenty of celebrities attended Johnson’s 30th birthday celebration, including her mother,Melanie Griffith, and friendsMiley Cyrus,Sean PennandRobert Downey Jr. Martin’s exGwyneth Paltrowalso joined in the fun.
“Dakota had a huge birthday celebration and she seemed to have a wonderful time,” a source previouslytold PEOPLEof the party. “You can tell that she is loved because so many of her friends showed up. Even Gwyneth was there.”
The insider added: “It was obvious that she loved it. She and Chris were very affectionate. They walked around the party hand in hand — they were very cute.”
