Scarlett Johansson is undeniably one of Hollywood's most respected actresses, having received two Oscar nominations and gaining substantial acclaim.
Her recent separation from her second husband, French journalist Romain Dauriac, only heightened her status as a desirable star. However, one actor who shared romantic scenes with her during a film shoot vividly recalls that kissing her was an utterly unpleasant experience.
The actor in question is Matt Damon, a key figure in the upcoming film Oppenheimer, alongside co-star Emily Blunt. During a discussion about the significance of dental hygiene before engaging in romantic scenes, Damon stressed the importance of being prepared. He humorously mentioned that he "couldn't handle halitosis" and then reminisced about his experience working with Scarlett Johansson, with whom he co-starred in the 2011 film We Bought a Zoo.
Damon and Blunt bantered about the film's romantic scenes and Scarlett Johansson's lips. Damon jokingly started, "I had to kiss Scarlett Johansson, can you imagine how horrible that was for me?" To which Blunt playfully added, "It's a shame she has those horrible lips... The experience must have been terrible." To everyone's amusement, Damon candidly admitted, "It was hell!"
He then proceeded to recount the incident, which made the whole experience memorable. "What happened was we had a drink before lunch. It was two nice drinks that ended in a kiss, which was really, really good," he began. "After that, we went to lunch, with the idea that the shot was already over, and she ordered a sandwich with onions," he highlighted.
However, the unexpected occurred when they returned to the set. Damon continued, "When we came back, we walked on set and Cameron Crowe (the director) had set up the camera for, again, a close-up of the kiss." Scarlett Johansson suddenly realized the situation, exclaiming, "Oh, no! I literally just ate an onion sandwich. I thought we were done with this." Damon couldn't help but tease her about her onion breath. He concluded, laughing, "The truth is, she couldn't even smell it. Her breath smells like roses."
Samuel L. Jackson's Unusual Wedding Gift for Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds
Renowned actor Samuel L. Jackson, known for his brilliant acting career, also showcased his creativity when it came to choosing a unique wedding gift for a famous Hollywood couple, a gesture that remains unforgettable.
This delightful revelation surfaced 15 years after the wedding of Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson. Samuel L. Jackson had the privilege of working with both Reynolds and Johansson—opposite Johansson in The Spirit and The Avengers, and alongside Reynolds in The Other Guys.
During an interview with Vulture, Jackson shared the intriguing story behind his distinctive wedding gift. He praised Ryan Reynolds, stating, "Ryan is an intelligent son of a bitch. I met him when he and Scarlett Johansson got married." He explained that his gift was a beehive, inspired by Scarlett's fondness for nature. "Scarlett always talked about nature," he said.
Jackson's gift was unconventional but memorable. He revealed, "I had my assistant buy 10 pounds of bees, and then I bought them beekeeper suits and everything." The couple appreciated the thoughtful present, and, as Jackson noted, "They kept the bees for a while. They got honey for a couple of years while they were married."
