Chris Martinstepped in to helpDakota Johnsonon Sunday when she was having trouble logging on to a chat about her movieCha Cha Real Smooth, which premiered this weekend as part of the2022 Sundance Film Festival.
After Sundance programmer Charlie Sextro introduced Johnson’s costar Vanessa Burghardt and director/writer Cooper Raiff, he turned to introduce Johnson, 32, only to be met with an awkward pause as the actress seemed to be encountering technical difficulties with her computer’s camera.
After a few seconds, the 44-year-old Coldplay frontman apparently got his live-in girlfriend’s Zoom in working order because the camera popped on with both Martin and Johnson in frame.
Martin’s appearance was practically a blink-and-you-missed-it cameo as the blurry “Fix You” singer dashed for the door. But much to fans' delight, he did manage to offer up a few peace signs in the midst of his exit — all while Johnson unsuccessfully tried to contain her laughter.
TheLost Daughterstar’s production companyTeaTime Picturesis also premieringAm I OK?at the 2002 festival, which is screening films virtually through Jan. 30.
“I have such big dreams, it’s out of control,” Johnson told theLos Angeles Timesof her motivation to become a producer after years on set, both as an actress and with her famous parentsDon JohnsonandMelanie Griffith. “I have so many ideas, and I just need to get them out.”
She also noted, “I want togive more opportunitiesto amazing people to make things. I want to make more.”

Johnson recently shared aglimpse into her relationship with Martin, saying they’re home bodies at heart.

They also occasionally venture out to attend Sunday dinners with Martin’s exGwyneth Paltrowand her husband in L.A., PEOPLEreportedin February.
“It’s obvious that everyone still gets along great,” a source told PEOPLE at the time.
As for their life at home (tech troubles aside), Johnson’s dad is hoping there might be a new roommate or two in the near future.
Calling Martin “a lovely guy,” the 72-year-old actor said of his daughter: “If she decides to get married, I would imagine that there would be grandchildren not too far out for that. I’d be pretty excited about that part.”
