Scarlett Johansson, a star of Marvel, has admitted that her personal life was far from a bed of roses off camera, away from the glitz and glamour, particularly when it came to parenting.
Scarlett Johansson has portrayed a number of superhuman characters in cinema. The actress has shown she has what it takes to compete with her male counterparts, whether it be as the swashbuckling Black Widow in the MCU or as an exceptionally strong clairvoyant warrior in Lucy. In gripping dramas like Marriage Story and psychological thrillers like Woody Allen's Match Point, Johansson has also demonstrated her acting prowess.
Scarlett Johansson is not only a very accomplished Hollywood actress, but she is also the mother of two kids: Cosmo Jost, who is the son of her current husband Colin Jost, and Rose Dauriac, whom she had with her ex-husband Romain Dauriac. Johansson acknowledged that becoming a mother tested her in ways she never imagined possible during an interview with The Skinny Confidential Him & Her podcast. The actor commented on her initial ignorance of parenthood.
"I recall telling my daughter, who was then 2, that this was wonderful. I have no idea what everyone is referring to. When she turned three, it was like being in a relationship that was emotionally abusive."
The Nanny Diaries star acknowledged that she was unprepared for the emotional ups and downs of motherhood and the challenges of pleasing toddlers. The actress continued in the interview by saying that even though being a mother required a lot of work, it was all worthwhile because kids were also capable of unconditional love. She also discussed the difficulties of keeping a work-life balance so that she could spend quality time with her children while they were little.
A successful woman who is also a mother is someone like Scarlett Johansson. With cinematic endeavors on the one hand and child-rearing on the other, the diva has effortlessly juggled her personal and professional lives. Johansson expanded her wings once more to introduce The Outset, her skincare line, in 2022, after both of her kids had grown out of the toddler stage. Johansson's straightforward attitude to beauty is reflected in the brand. The celebrity hired Kate Foster, a beauty specialist, to help her build her business after conducting an extensive study and testing several beauty products. Johansson explained the motivations behind starting The Outset as follows:
"I made the decision to start my business because I thought I was in a position where I could express my opinion and take action. You should realize that this is a personal effort that stems from my love of skincare. For practically my whole life, I had acne."
The Hollywood star said that she was motivated to establish a skin care program to help her skin heal and maintain health because of her own skin concerns, which were exacerbated by wearing too much makeup for movies.
