For Scarlett Johansson, humour is a huge part of her life. She said that she couldn’t imagine “being with somebody who wasn’t funny.” The actor, who is married to comedian Colin Jost, told in an interview, “My husband is a comedy writer, and I couldn’t imagine ever being with somebody who wasn’t funny. I grew up in a very funny household.”
She added, “My dad is Danish and has a very dry sense of humour, and my mom is Jewish, so that’s culturally a big part of our identity. It’s certainly a certain kind of humour, and growing up in New York, that’s another layer of it. So, I see the ironic humour, also, in terrible things.”
Johansson recently made her directorial debut with Eleanor the Great. She admitted to being inspired by “very New York-centric” films, claim reports. The actor, who appeared alongside Bill Murray in the movie, told, “After Lost in Translation (2003), every role that I was offered was the girlfriend, the other woman, a sex object — I couldn’t get out of the cycle. There wasn’t much I could do with that.”
