Scarlett Johansson sought inspiration from her young daughter when starring in her latest film role.
The actress voices Elita-1 in the new animated featured Transformers One, and her oldest child, Rose, ten, had a vital part in the process.
‘If there’s a particular movie that my daughter loves, a Disney film or whatever, I will watch the recordings of that,’ the 39-year-old told the Daily Telegraph this week.
‘I remember when my daughter first started watching movies and Sing came out – I play Ash in Sing – I had to explain to her how it works, like how characters are animated’ the American actress continued.
‘I was like, there’s actors like me that go in and they voice the thing, and then we started watching.
‘I was like, maybe she would like to see the process. It is absolutely fascinating’.
Scarlett shares Rose with her ex-husband Romain Dauriac, with the former couple married between 2014 and 2017.
She also shared son Cosmo, three, with her comedian husband Colin Jost, who she married in 2020.
Colin recently opened up about family life with wife and how he actually got his first lessons on being a dad by watching Scarlett with her daughter Rose.
It happened after the Saturday Night Live star began dating her movie star mom in 2017 when the then toddler was just two-years-old.
And by dating the Hollywood leading lady, the comedian got to witness her mommy skills for five years before the arrival of their own son Cosmo.
‘I think part of the reason I fell in love with her is she’s a great mom,’ Jost, 42, recently told The New York Times.
‘I’ve known Rose, my stepdaughter, since she was two. It’s weird. You get to actually preview someone as a mom.’
Johansson first met Jost when she hosted Saturday Night Live for the first time in 2006, which was several years before she married first husband Ryan Reynolds, but they didn’t start dating for more than a decade later.
Johansson would go on to get married to Reynolds less than two years after her first meeting with Jost on the SNL set.
Her first marriage to the fellow A-lister ended up in divorce in 2011, but seemingly found love again the following year when she began dating Rose’s father, a French journalist and art dealer, after meeting through friends in Paris, France.
They would go public with their romance in November 2012, and then make their relationship legal by marrying in Philipsburg, Montana in October 2014, about a month after they welcomed their daughter Rose to the world.
While dividing time between New York City and Paris, the couple would ultimately separate in mid-2016 and finalize their divorce in September 2017.
That opened the door for Jost and Johansson to find each other again, 11 years after their initial meeting, and spark more romance talk in May 2017, when the actress made a special appearance in the SNL season finale.
After the show, the two shared a warm hug on stage during the customary goodnights and later hit up the afterparty where they were reportedly seen kissing, according to Page Six.
The comedian would end up coming clean on their romance later that same year, making their debut as a couple at the American Museum of Natural History Gala in New York City in November 2017.
They went on to tie-the-knot in an intimate ceremony in front of only immediate family and love ones, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, in October 2020.
It didn’t take long before they added to their blended family with the birth of their first child together, a son named Cosmo in August 2021.
During the same interview the longtime keeper of the Weekend Update co-anchor with Michael Che couldn’t resist sharing about ‘how much normal stuff’ his wife likes to do, oftentimes with the help of a simple disguise.
‘She goes to the supermarket. She’s just very good at wearing a hat and she keeps moving,’ the proud husband gushed.
‘She is able to stay a little under the radar, but she’s able to do all these everyday things and enjoy them, too.’
