Scarlet Johansson, or Natasha Ronanoff, or Black Widow, has long been recognized as an essential part of Marvel. She has been joining since 12 years ago (Iron Man 2).
The actress is not controversial, but all of her movements are being hunted by journalists.
One of them is her recent admission that she never went to the gym before being accepted as Black Widow in Iron Man 2.
It shows that the actress is not someone who is used to living fit. Her practice habits are only driven by the demands of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
And given that she’s appeared in nine Marvel films in the past 12 years, it doesn’t seem like the company is giving her any “time to rest”.
According to Johansson, before she got involved in Iron Man 2, she only had five weeks to prepare herself. The confession was revealed in an interview with Vanity Fair.
She was 24 years old at the time and for her, it was a historic moment where a mediocre actress was on her way to becoming one of the highest-earning artists.
But about 10 years ago, Johansson and her crew discovered what is called an effective scene-sharing method.
Actually, the method is based on the division of roles between the actress and the stunt double.
Johansson and her crew had to determine exactly when the roles should be performed by stunt double and when they should be performed by herself.
It requires high precision and cannot be done haphazardly.
However, the method did not free her at all from a healthy lifestyle. The MCU made sure Johansson remained in great shape while the actress was involved in grueling filming.
Her first gym was a big gym in Los Angeles but she didn’t last long there. Not because the equipment she got was incomplete or unqualified, but because she didn’t know how to use them.
She then “learn” from scratch and now she is used to all kinds of equipment in the gym.
She can react well to these devices and even when she was pregnant years ago, she was able to perform a wide range of movements without harming her baby.
For information, with her ex-husband, Romain Dauriac, Johansson has a beautiful daughter named Rose. Now she is about 7 years old.
Last year she had her second child from her marriage to Colin Jost, a boy named Cosmo. He was born last August. Her first pregnancy did cause quite a lot of problems but the second pregnancy did not bother her at all.
After she gave birth to Rose, she had to adapt quickly to her job.
For Johansson, it was a time when a balance between work and personal life was impossible.
It was only after Rose was two years old and starting to get a little independent that Johansson felt she could balance things out. She can manage all her scattered schedules and organize them better.
And most importantly, she had finally figured out how she could balance things out.
Johansson is someone with an optimistic mind and doesn’t want to get carried away.
She did not believe that one’s fate was predetermined from the start. Therefore, she always tries her best to achieve whatever she aspires to.
Johansson feels that she has now found what she least wanted in life. Become a public figure whose behavior is highlighted by the public.
She was quite traumatized by her bad experience a few years ago when her nude photos were spread on various sites. It was the work of an amateur hacker who used the “forgot password method”.
The hacker appears to had collected important information about Johansson and used it to “convince Google” that he was Scarlett Johansson.
After nearly a year of investigation the police managed to arrest him and he was brought to justice.
The Scarjo nudes problem really hit Scarlett Johansson and since then she has become a more introverted person. If you want to get more info about that, you can click here!
After Black Widow
Scarlett Johansson isn’t always the Black Widow. The actress will be involved in new projects with the MCU.
This has been stated directly by Kevin Feige, CEO of Marvel Studios. Feige stressed that Johansson’s projects would have nothing to do with Black Widow.
The Outset sebagai tujuan terbarunya
Scarlett Johansson adds to the list of celebrities who have launched their own beauty line.
The ‘Black Widow’ actress is also ready to compete with Rihanna and Kim Kardashian in the skincare industry. Scarlett Johansson’s beauty brand is The Outset, with the tagline ‘The Start of You’.
She hopes that through the brand, her beauty products can be used by anyone and are easily accessible to all people.
It seems that she is really serious about this skincare project because she is involved from upstream to downstream.
Johansson once said that The Outset started with her husband (Colin Jost)’s passion for skincare. One day her husband had accidentally put on his face Johansson’s mask and he felt hot moments later.
That funny incident was one of the reasons why Johansson decided to create his own skin care product. It seems that she will provide various masks that do not cause a burning feeling on the face.
Black Widow’s life is full of twists and turns and of course we all remember that just last year she sued Disney over the company’s decision to broadcast Black Widow in theaters and online platforms, costing her an estimated $50 million.
What a fantastic number!
However a few months later the two sides reconciled (around September 2021) and Johansson was instead involved as a producer for another Disney project.
She will be serving as a producer and of course this is a significant career advancement. Was it a compensation for “Disney’s blunder”?
This question may only be answered by Johansson herself. But one thing is for sure, the actress has gone through her various problems very well.
