Actor Dakota Johnson showed her professional "show must go on" chops recently when she handled an awkward wardrobe moment with the greatest of ease. 
Johnson was on Jimmy Kimmel Live Wednesday to promote her new film Daddio when she became the latest star to suffer a wardrobe malfunction—though thankfully she was able to rescue her dress before it got too out of hand. 
Johnson and Kimmel were chit-chatting when one of Johnson's dress straps suddenly broke and fell down. But the actor was unfazed.

After showing a clip from Daddio, the cameras returned to Kimmel and Johnson to find the latter awkwardly gripping her dress with both hands.
Kimmel of course couldn't help but comment on it, quipping to the actor:
“Part of your dress just came unhooked. You all right? Should I get some Scotch Tape?"Johnson replied that it "just fell off" and after she and Kimmel exchanged a few words on what to do, they landed on Johnson simply holding her dress together with her hands in a delightfully awkward way as Kimmel told her to "just hold the important part."
But Johnson was keen not to let the moment just slide by. She grabbed both breasts in a comical way while trying to soldier on talking about the film as the audience erupted into laughter and applause. 
It couldn't have been a better lead-in to the pair's next conversation topic: the auditions for a "d*ck pic" that appears in the film. 
On YouTube, people were loving this hilariously awkward moment and Johnson's game approach to the mishap.

Johnson is nothing if not always game for a bit of humorous drama, and that's part of why everyone loves her.

Newsmax host Greg Kelly defended President Donald Trump's use of profanity in his Easter morning threat to Iran, prompting critics to resurface one of his own past tweets calling for a ban on use of the f-word.
Trump lashed out at Iran amid growing concerns about tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage at the entrance to the Persian Gulf that carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply. Recently, Iran has struck several vessels in the area and warned ships against entering the passage, effectively halting traffic through one of the world’s most crucial energy routes.

At least two Republican politicians are facing criticism after they fell for a clearly A.I.-generated photo of the rescue of two U.S. airmen whose fighter jet went down in Iran over the weekend.
U.S. special forces rescued the second crew member of an F-15 fighter jet shot down over Iran, according to three U.S. officials cited by Axios. The crew member, a weapons systems officer, was wounded after ejecting from the aircraft Friday but was able to walk and evaded capture in the mountains for more than a day.
