Dakota Johnsonknows all about Celsius thanks to her new short film!

“I discovered Celsius on [the first day] of filming the short and I didn’t know that it was Red Bull,” Johnson admitted to the outlet.

The director explained she “thought it was just vitamins” and considered it a “natural drink” because the drink noted it had “B12 and vitamin A.”

“I was like, ‘I’m so inspired. I’m awake all night long… I’m not sleeping because I’m just thinking about'— and it was because I was having like two Celsius a day,” she said.

“I didn’t realize that I was basically overdosing on caffeine,” she added.

Most Celsius flavors contain200 milligrams of caffeine per can, while other variations contain up to 270 milligrams of caffeine per can.

She said the costume designer on set eventually was the one who alerted her about the drinks, telling her, “You’re basically having four Red Bulls a day.”

When asked if it was “upsetting” when she found out, Johnson said with a laugh, “That was really upsetting. Yeah, it was. But now I know that in dire straits, there’s Celsius. And I’m looking for an endorsement, [because] I’m your girl. Night shoots, they work really well.”

Energy drinks aren’t the only thing on the actress doesn’t consume too much of. She previously shared onThe Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallonthat she really doesn’t love limes, despite the fruit having been in her kitchen during anArchitectural Digestvideo showing off her home.

“I’m mildly allergic to limes and honeydew melon,” she toldJimmy Fallon, noting that limes make her “tongue itch.”
