Don Johnson cut off daughter Dakota when she refused to go to college: 'You're off the family payroll'
Briefly

Don Johnson, during a recent interview, discussed his perspective on his children, particularly Dakota Johnson, entering the acting profession. He expressed concerns about their choices, urging them to prioritize education and gainful employment over a career in acting. In his family's tradition, he enforces a rule where children who do not pursue college and work are removed from the family payroll. Despite his initial warnings, Dakota achieved immediate success after high school with a role in 'The Social Network.' Johnson also reflects on his struggle in the early days of his own career.
When Dakota [Johnson] was graduating from high school ... we have a rule in the family. The rule is that if you don't go on to college and get a job, you're off the family payroll.
I warned them against it. I said, 'This is not for you,' Johnson said, before telling the hosts of the Johnson family rule.
Three months later, she had that part in 'The Social Network' and hasn't looked back.
Before finding fame, the Golden Globe Award winner once recalled being down on his luck at the beginning of his career.
