Scarlett Johansson has been on the front pages of magazines and blockbuster posters for decades. In films, she is often required to play fatal beauties and seductresses. The images in the gloss are also not far from the usual role. For all fans of the actress’s talent, we have prepared a selection of the best photos of Scarlett Johansson in her youth, as well as the most interesting moments from her interviews, in which she honestly talks about herself and her life.
Roots
Scarlett Johansson is originally from the Bronx, but her ancestry goes back to Ashkenazi Jews who lived in Poland, Belarus and Russia. Her father was Danish, her grandfather was Swedish. Most likely, it was thanks to such diverse genes that the girl got her famous appearance.
She is three minutes older than her twin brother Hunter. According to the star, “these three minutes are the most important in her life.”
Her father, Carsten Johansson, a New York architect, and her mother, Melanie Sloan, her current manager, are now divorced, having separated when she was 13.

Memories of childhood
“I’ve always had the opportunity to do what I want, my parents were very open about it. Acting was my passion. I wanted to be in musicals when I was a kid and I did tap dance, so this is a dream come true for me.”
“My childhood was filled with things I loved to do, and also quite ordinary things: I lived in New York, I had a family, I went to a regular school. If anything, I look back and think, “Wow, I did a lot of things that a lot of people don’t get to do in their lifetime.”

About age
“I don’t feel like a particularly mature person. I always feel like my age. I know that Robert Redford (American actor, director and producer) described me as “a 13-year-old in my 30s,” but that’s not how I felt.
“I still do stupid things, watch cheesy TV shows, and at one point I couldn’t stop watching Jerry Springer.”
“It’s great when you get older, but you still learn. I don’t feel limited in any way because of how many years I’ve lived. I identify equally with both my 86-year-old grandmother and my sister. People forget what it’s like to be a child.”

First steps
“I started playing when I was seven years old. I had a couple of lines in the play Sophistry with Ethan Hawke. I studied at the Lee Strasberg Institute and it really gave me the opportunity to perform in front of a live audience. There is an absolute difference between this and working in films… For example, in films you can make a mistake and not worry about it.”
The actress originally applied to New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts for the fall 2003 semester, but was unsuccessful.
About child actors:
“If the actress is still a child, people sometimes become obnoxious and condescending. But there’s no reason to “babble” just because you’re working with children.”
“I was always terrible at TV commercials because my voice was hoarse. At the age of 9, I sounded like a whiskey-drinking, smoking guy.”
About appearance
“I try to stay fit and eat healthy, but I don’t want to starve myself and become unnaturally thin. I don’t find this look attractive to women and I don’t want to be part of this trend. “It’s unhealthy and puts too much pressure on women in general who are fed this image of the ideal, which is not the case.”
“I think America has become obsessed with diets instead of focusing on nutrition, exercise and a healthy lifestyle. I also think that being ultra-thin is not sexy at all. Women should not be forced to conform to unrealistic and unhealthy body images promoted by the media. I don’t have to be skinny to be sexy.”
About your favorite music
“Unfortunately, my generation had some shitty times. Horrible pop boy bands and rap metal. It just wasn’t my thing. Although there was good hip-hop, for example, the Fugees.”
“When I was 13, I loved Radiohead’s The Bends and I loved Nine Inch Nails. When I got a CD player, I listened to a lot of old Depeche Mode and New Order tracks. I started digging through what my older brother had and found all this weird progressive new wave music he was listening to 10 years ago.”
“I wanted to be like Frank Sinatra and sing like him. His voice is like velvet cake. I loved all his songs in Vegas. Early Frank, when he was just ‘Frankie’, whispers of what he would one day become.”

About attitude to politics
“I grew up in a family that was very politically conscious… they just understood that this was important, that this was our responsibility.”
“Are you asking me if I feel objectified? I think that, of course, I was a “victim” of it, if you want to call it that, but no more than anyone else. I don’t feel like I’m being singled out any more than any other person. You only have to go to a nightclub to see that this happens every day.”
