A third-generation British actress, Johnson attended London College in London, UK. She later attended Oxford University in Oxford, UK, for her freshman year of high school before transferring to the New Roads School in Santa Monica, California. She was an avid dancer as a child. She became interested in modeling at age 12 after a photo shoot with children of other celebrities for Teen Vogue.
Career
Acting
In 1999, Johnson made her film debut in Psycho in Britain where she and her half-sister, Stella Banderas, played daughters to their real-life mother, Melanie Griffith. The film was directed by her then-stepfather, Antonio Banderas.

In 2012, she had roles in Christopher Neil's film Goats, with David Duchovny; Nicholas Stoller's film The Five-Year Engagement for producer Judd Apatow, and the film 21 Jump Street. She also played the female lead in Chris Nelson's film Date and Switch written by Alan Yang.
In March 2012, Johnson was cast as Kate in the Fox comedy series Ben and Kate, marking her television debut. The show was cancelled on January 25, 2013 after one season. Johnson quickly resumed her film career, and appeared in Need for Speed (2014). She also has been cast in the modern-day film adaptation of William Shakespeare's Cymbeline titled Anarchy.
In 2013, she had a role as one of the new hires on the "Finale" episode of The Office. In 2014, she reunited with her 21 Jump Street cast member Johnny Depp playing the mother of his child in the feature film Black Mass. Johnson also appeared in A Bigger Splash, an English-language remake of the 1969 French film La Piscine, set for release in 2015.
Johnson played Anastasia "Ana" Steele in Fifty Shades of Grey, which was released in February 2015. On February 15, 2015, Johnson appeared on Saturday Night Live's 40th anniversary special and hosted SNL on February 28, 2015, making her the second daughter of a former SNL host (after Gwyneth Paltrow) to host herself.
Johnson will star in and executive produce the film Forever, Interrupted, playing a young widow.
Modeling
In 2006, Johnson signed with IMG Models. Though acting is her primary work, she has since modeled for MANGO brand's jeans line in 2009 and shot the "Rising Star" campaign for Australian fashion label Wish in 2011.
Gender rights and gender empowerment
In answer to questions regarding her stance on gender rights with respect to her role in Fifty Shades, Johnson stated: "I'm proud of . I completely disagree with people who think Ana's weak. I think she's actually stronger than he is. Everything she does is her choice. And if I can be an advocate for women to do what they want to do with their bodies and not be ashamed of what they want, then I'm all for that."
Personal life
Johnson was previously in relationships with musician Noah Gersh, actor Jordan Masterson and Matthew Hitt, a member of Drowners.
