  Is Dakota Johnson secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Dakota Johnson is celebrating her 36th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed models of her generation.

Popular model-actress Dakota Johnson (Fifty Shades Darker, How to Be Single, Fifty Shades of Grey, Ben and Kate, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 36th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Johnson, a cultural icon

Born Dakota Mayi Johnson in Austin on October 4, 1989, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Johnson's not just a great model, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Dakota hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Dakota Johnson as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 36.

Happy Birthday, Dakota, you're the best!
