The bright film about the difficulty of adaptation in a foreign country and the attraction that arose between such dissimilar people, who were united only by knowledge of the same language and a feeling of all-consuming loneliness, pleased both critics and viewers, and gave Johansson’s career an unprecedented acceleration. The girl was awarded the prestigious BAFTA award and nominated for a number of famous film awards.

2003 was a turning point in the actress’s career. In the same year, Scarlett Johansson received a second BAFTA award and a Golden Globe nomination for best dramatic role in the acclaimed film “Girl with a Pearl Earring.” She masterfully portrayed the maid of the Dutch artist Jan Vermeer.

Film "The Island"

In 2005, Scarlett Johansson starred in the fantasy action film The Island, which became popular, although its box office receipts were lower than expected. It is noteworthy that director Michael Bay suggested that the modest box office receipts were due to the actress's lack of fame.

Scarlett's work in the film was remembered for the scandal with Bay due to different visions of the bed scene. Nevertheless, the film is still watched with pleasure by audiences all over the world.

Film "Match Point"

For her work in the dramatic thriller Match Point, released in 2005, Scarlett Johansson received a Golden Globe. This film has many similarities with Dreiser's classic novel An American Tragedy. Subsequently, the collaboration between the famous director and actress continued in two more films: “Sensation” and “Vicky Cristina Barcelona”. True, they did not achieve their former success.

Working with the great Woody Allen did its job: no other director could blame the failure of his film on the “lack of fame” of the actress. Johansson has become a Hollywood star.

In 2006, three top-rated films were released within a couple of months: “Sensation” with Hugh Jackman, “Black Orchid” with Josh Hartnett and the Oscar-winning “The Prestige” with Christian Bale. In all projects, Scarlett played the main female characters, and the pictures and, accordingly, the roles were extremely diverse - the student Sonda Pransky, fascinated by the British aristocrat, the former prostitute Kay Lake and the magician's assistant Olivia Wenscombe.

Scarlett also appears in the leading role in Barry Levinson's new project - the adventurous thriller about the robber "Diamond".

Film "The Other Boleyn Girl"

The historical drama “The Other Boleyn Girl” is very famous, where Scarlett played with Natalie Portman and Eric Bana Mary Boleyn, the sister of the famous Anne Boleyn, who competes with her for the heart and bed of King Henry VIII of the Tudor dynasty.

The Hollywood actress has her own star on the Walk of Stars. She appeared in May 2012. And in the spring of 2014, Scarlett Johansson received the Cesar Award from the French Film Academy from the hands of Quentin Tarantino himself.

Childhood and first steps to success

The Johansson family had five children. Carsten Johansson and Melanie Sloan (Scalette's parents) raised a son, Adrian, a daughter, Vanessa, and a boy, Christian, a son from his father's first marriage. Scarlett and her brother Hunter were born on the same day, November 22, 1984, but as they grew older, it became clear that the twins did not have that many similarities. But the children were unable to unite their parents for the rest of their lives, and the couple divorced. Scarlett suffered the divorce the hardest of all; for her, this event became a mental wound.

One day, my mother took the children to an advertising casting. Only Adrian was able to show his abilities and please the directors. Then seven-year-old Scarlett threw a tantrum. It turned out that acting had been her dream for a long time. From that moment on, not a single casting passed by the girl; she tried by any means to attract attention. Sometimes she didn’t even know who was needed for the filming, but she went there and tried to audition. Seeing how her daughter dreamed of becoming an actress, her mother sent her to Lee Strasberg's acting school.

As a child, critics dubbed Scarlett the “pink pig,” but she turned into a sexy girl

Persistence and a great desire to become part of cinema allowed the girl with a fighting character to quickly attract the attention of teachers. Literally six months later, Scarlett participated in the adult lineup. At the age of 8, the gifted girl became part of a big project for the first time - the off-Broadway production of The Sophist.

Scarlett played her first small film role in the film “North”. The ten-year-old girl approached the filming process with full responsibility, which director Rob Reiner later noted. The leading role was played by then-novice actor Elijah Wood.

In 1995, young Scarlett already starred in a film with Hollywood star Sean Connery. According to the plot of the film, she became the victim of a maniac, while her father (Connery) advocated the abolition of the death penalty.

Childhood and youth

Scarlett Ingrid Johansson was born on November 22, 1984 in New York City. The girl's father, Karsten Johansson, was an architect, and her mother, Melanie Sloan, was a housewife. The Johansson family has four children. Scarlett has a twin brother, Hunter, two older brothers, Kristen (her half-brother on her father's side) and Adrian, and an older sister, Vanessa. On their father’s side, the children had Danish roots, and on their mother’s side, they had Jewish and even Belarusian roots. Scarlett's paternal grandfather is the famous Danish writer, screenwriter and director Ainer Johansson.

The girl received the name Scarlett in honor of the heroine of her parents’ favorite novel “Gone with the Wind” by Scarlett O’Hara. An atmosphere of art always reigned in the Johansson house; children were introduced to creativity from childhood. So, at a very young age, Scarlett first came to the set - her parents brought their eldest son Adrian to shoot an advertisement. The girl was so amazed by the filming process that she immediately decided to become an actress.

The parents supported their daughter, and when she was 8 years old, they sent her to school at the Theater University in Manhattan. The teachers liked the little blond girl and Scarlett was assigned to a group for gifted children. But after a few months, it became clear that Scarlett had already grown professionally, unlike other guys, and she was no longer interested in the younger group. Then the teachers transferred the girl to the older group.

The turning point in Scarlett's growing up was the divorce of her parents. For the girl, this was a real blow, because no one imagined that an exemplary and strong family only seemed like that. The father stayed in New York, and the mother moved to Los Angeles, so the children had to live between the two cities. In her interviews, Scarlett shares that for her, her parents’ divorce was the most painful memory.

Film career

Scarlett Johansson's first leading role was the role of the girl Manny in the film Manny and Lo. The talented performance of the aspiring actress not only attracted the attention of viewers and critics, but also served as a reason for Scarlett to be nominated for the Independent Spirit Awards. In 1997, viewers saw Scarlett in the third part of the family comedy Home Alone. The “children’s” period in cinema ended with a role in the film “The Horse Whisperer”. She brought her praise not only from director Robert Redford, but also fame throughout the United States.

In 2001, Johansson appeared in three projects at once:

• "American Rhapsody";
• "Ghost World";
• "The Man Who Wasn't There"

The films were received differently by the public, but Scarlett’s performance itself was beyond doubt. The actress already had her first big success: she was invited to shoot the film “Lost in Translation” (2003). The touching dramatic story, directed by Sofia Coppola, became a breakthrough for Johansson's acting career. For the first time, a film actress became a Golden Globe nominee. The rise to the Hollywood Olympus continued with the release of the film “Girl with a Pearl Earring” and another nomination for the Golden Globe.

Scarlett Johansson was able to integrate into the world of cinema so much that she was nominated for a Golden Globe four times in a row: “Lost in Translation” (2003), “Girl with a Pearl Earring” (2003), “Love Fever” (2005), “Match Point” "(2006).

"Lost in Translation" with Bill Murray

Every year, with the participation of Johansson, films began to be released in cinemas: “The Island” (2005), “Black Orchid” (2006), “The Prestige” (2006), “The Nanny Diaries” (2007). Some of them were rewarded by viewers and critics with positive reviews, while others had difficulty covering the funds spent on filming. But in all her images, Scarlett was beautiful, her performance left no doubt: the young actress successfully conquered Hollywood.

And in 2008, Scarlett showed the audience another side of her talent. The album “Anywhere I Lay My Head” was released and viewers were now able to appreciate her as a singer.

In 2010, Marvel released the second part of Iron Man. Johansson got the role of Natasha Romanova, a Russian special agent. The company signed a contract with her and then viewers followed the heroine Scarlett Black Widow in a series of Marvel films: “The Avengers” (2012), “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” (2014), “Avengers: Age of Ultron” (2015), “The First Avenger” : confrontation" (2016). This period of the actress’s career became very busy with work; directors are happy to film her in their films.

Confirmation that Johansson has become an actress of Hollywood proportions was the unveiling of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2012.

This week, the sequel to the superhero comic book movie “Avengers: Age of Ultron” starts, in which Scarlett Johansson played the role of Black Widow. During the story, Scarlett moves deftly in a tight black jumpsuit. But, as it turned out, there were problems with the overalls. The point is that the actress was filming while already pregnant with her lover, Romain Dauriac. And so that the costume doesn’t sting, all the scenes involving the Black Widow were filmed first.

This was in April, and already in September the actress gave birth to baby Rose Dorothy, after which, a month later, she secretly married her father. But this is just the result. “StarHit” decided to remember how this beautiful story began, as a result of which on the screen of the second “Avengers” we saw two girls at once, one of whom was simply still invisible under the reliable protection of her mother and that same tight-fitting overalls.

...The scooter maneuvered through Parisian traffic jams, moving towards the Marais quarter. Hiding her face under the visor of her cap and her famous curves under a shapeless coat, Scarlett huddled close to her companion’s back. The cloudy weather was not conducive to walking, but there was no time to wait for warmth. She needs to fly to America - the promotional tour for the film “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” starts on March 13 in Hollywood. Not taking a last look at the boutiques is a real crime.

At the beginning of the street, the actress's fiancé, 32-year-old journalist Romain Dauriac, stopped the scooter. Apparently, he put aside urgent matters in order to personally take Scarlett - after a laconic farewell, he dived back into the traffic. And she, having become ruffled, went shopping. The actress sulked that Roman could not accompany her on tour when his support was most needed. The news that 29-year-old Scarlett is pregnant has just begun to spread around the world. She has already asked the press attache to prohibit journalists from asking questions on this topic and has chosen outfits that hide her rounded shape...

Secret signs

So far, the press version says that the actress is in her fifth month of pregnancy and will give birth at the end of August, although, judging by her baby bump, Johansson is at most at the end of the first trimester. And the news was first confirmed not by the future parents, but by the producers of the film epic “The Avengers” - with their complaints about the need to completely redraw the shooting schedule of the film “Avengers: Age of Ultron” and film scenes with Scarlett while she can still be squeezed into the tight latex suit of the Black Widow, not risking the child's health. This was complemented by a comment from a source close to the actress: “Scarlett Johansson’s pregnancy was a surprise, but more pleasant than not.”

But just recently, Scarlett claimed that she gives priority to work and is not going to start a family in the near future, especially children. She avoided a serious relationship for almost two years due to painful memories of the collapse of her marriage to Ryan Reynolds; they separated in 2010 after two years of marriage. “I remember how I drowned my grief with alcohol mixed with tears,” said the actress. “I dreamed of getting married for life, growing old with my beloved. And when I left, I realized that I couldn’t sit at home and bake pies for days. I am an actress, a personality. I need movement, filming, chic dresses, scarlet lipstick and... freedom.”

Mysterious stranger

Rushing to find out at least something about the man who convinced her to give family life another chance, the journalists discovered that Romain Dauriac was an even greater partisan than his beloved.

The strange thing, first of all, is that until recently French journalists did not have the slightest idea about a colleague named Romain Dauriac. All his activities were connected with the small-circulation “street culture magazine” Clark, published once every three months. Roman rose to the rank of editor-in-chief there, and under his leadership the publication successfully closed in 2011.

He is now listed on the tax rolls as the director of a creative advertising agency. This makes Parisian advertisers raise their eyebrows in surprise. What kind of agency this is and what it does, none of them knows.

Even less is known about his personal life before meeting Scarlett. He has no pages on social networks, with the exception of Twitter, where Roman has not shown any signs of life since 2010. No one managed to get information about what family he was from, what he liked to do in his spare time, and how many former lovers he had accumulated in his luggage.

Roman met Scarlett in the fall of 2012 in the salon of a Parisian tattoo artist nicknamed Fusi. The actress decided to get a tattoo on her right side - a horseshoe with the inscription “You're lucky.” The master has not yet finished filling the design, but the horseshoe has already brought good luck. Because Romain Dauriac, who became friends with Fusi when he wrote about him for the magazine, chose the same day and hour to leave the memorable inscription “Lost Illusions” on his body as a sign of some disappointment.

Scarlett said: “I have always liked picturesque, out-of-the-box thinking men. Plus, Roman has nothing to do with cinema; his area of ​​interest is the artistic underground. So professional jealousy and conflicting filming schedules are excluded. Actor boyfriends have always irritated me with their obsession with emotions, but this time I missed the mark: I managed to fall in love with a Frenchman, and introspection is in their blood.”

Parisian life

While courting Scarlett, Romain tirelessly dragged her around Parisian hotbeds of “street culture,” graffiti exhibitions and independent music festivals. But he tried not to get caught by the paparazzi with her - he was waiting for a signal from his beloved “it’s okay.” And he waited until April 2012, when, during a trip to New York, she first kissed him in the theater lobby before the premiere of the play “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” and then took him to dance at the Manhattan club “Lighthouse.” “It seemed like we were the most beautiful couple on the dance floor,” the actress told reporters. “But in reality, they probably behaved like complete idiots.”

At the end of the summer of the same year in Venice, Roman made his first appearance on the red carpet. The occasion for the debut was a vintage ring with diamonds in the art deco style on Scarlett's ring finger. “We are engaged,” the actress commented sparingly. “And we plan to get married... someday later.”

After the engagement, Scarlett finally moved to live in Paris, renting an apartment for herself and her fiancé in the Saint-Germain des Pres quarter. “We live above a cafe where the accordion plays in the evenings,” the actress shares enthusiastically. She got used to walking in the Luxembourg Gardens in the morning, acquired her favorite cafes, and mastered a scooter. True, her French still leaves much to be desired. At home, the future spouses communicate in English, but the actress plans to correct the shortcoming. “I don’t want any misunderstandings,” she says. “It’s dangerous to speak to your loved one in a language that you know enough to order food in restaurants.”

However, this cannot be said that the move went smoothly. “When I went to Paris briefly, it seemed to me that the myth about the rudeness and arrogance of Parisians was unfounded,” she said earlier this year. – Everyone was so nice! But as soon as I settled there and the natives stopped being shy about me, it turned out that I still had to look for big boors!”

“I was shocked that I had insulted an entire nation,” Scarlett laughed later. – We criticize the countries in which we live, but this does not prevent us from loving them. Roman convinced me that what I said was true: no one likes Parisians in France. But his dad did not fail to call him with the question: “What is she smoking and what is she thinking, she still has to come back here?!”

Talking about the future, the actress says that an unsuccessful marriage taught her a lot. “It’s stupid to destroy relationships in pursuit of success. But there must be a way to combine family life with the opportunity to make at least a film a year or act in the theater. And I will look for him."

Personal life

It is quite natural that the personal life of a star who shines on the Hollywood Olympus is constantly monitored and with great attention. Scarlett was credited with many novels; Justin Timberlake, Mark Wahlberg and even Benicio del Toro were discussed.

Scarlett's relationship with Josh Hartnett is known. In 2008, the couple Johansson and Ryan Reynolds formed. The lovers even legalized their relationship. But their busy work schedule alienated them from each other. As a result, an official divorce followed.

Now the actress is married for the second time. Her husband was Romain Dauriac (French journalist). In 2014, baby Rose was born, after which they immediately exchanged vows.

Scarlett Johansson is quite critical of herself and easily talks about her shortcomings.

Scarlett Johansson's second husband

The actress was single for only a short time - she soon met journalist Romain Dauriac. The story of their acquaintance was not entirely ordinary - they met in a tattoo parlor, where they came to get another tattoo. Scarlett was fascinated by an interesting young man with whom there was a lot to talk about.

Romain turned out to be very comfortable in everyday life and did not require increased attention to his person, thanks to which Scarlett did not feel guilty when she had to disappear for a long time on the set. In 2014, she gave birth to her lover’s daughter Rose, and in the same year they formalized their relationship, and Johansson moved to Paris, where she lived for two years. Her second marriage lasted the same amount of time - the actress broke up with her second husband, and a little less than a year after the separation, she filed for divorce.
