In addition to films, she made her television debut when she was cast as Kate in the comedy series Ben and Kate in 2012. The show was canceled after one season, but she was quickly cast in a film following the television cancelation. The TV show cancelation was not about to slow her down! She also hosted Saturday Night Live in 2015.
In addition to acting as her primary career, Johnson also signed with IMG Models in 2006. She models for MANGO brand’s jeans and shot the “Rising Star” campaign with the brand Wish in 2011.
What’s fascinating about her interest in modeling is that her grandmother, Tippi Hedren, also took up modeling while acting was her primary job.
