Dakota Johnson got a little “get off my lawn” with her Gen Z co-stars.

Johnson spoke to Seth Meyers on “Late Night” recently about her relationship with her “Madame Web” co-stars Sydney Sweeney, 26, Celeste O’Connor, 25, and Isabela Merced, 22.

“I love them, but they annoy me,” the “Persuasion” star admitted to Meyers.

Johnson, a 34-year-old millennial, said this sentiment was due to the “generational divide” she felt with her co-stars.

“When did you feel the oldest?” Meyers asked Johnson.

“All the time,” Johnson responded somewhat jokingly. “Like, every second of the day.”

Watch Johnson’s conversation with Meyers below:

On Monday, in an interview with E! News, the “Fifty Shades of Grey” alum elaborated on another reason why her co-stars irked her.

“I don’t think they include me,” Johnson said about a group chat that Sweeney, O’Connor and Merced apparently have named “The Boo Crew.”

Johnson added: “I’m older than them, and they make sure that I’m aware of that.”

Although Johnson seemed to be displaying her wry sense of humor during these interviews, Sweeney may also be in on the generational joke.

While speaking to E! News, the “Euphoria” star emphasized how much older Johnson was than her while giving “The Lost Daughter” star a back-handed compliment.

“I’ve been a fan of hers since I was a lot younger,” Sweeney said, noting that she “might have snuck” into a screening of one of Johnson’s R-rated “Fifty Shades” movies when she was underage.

Sweeney added, “My parents didn’t let me watch it.”
