Scarlett Johansson recently shared how her ten-year-old daughter played a pivotal role in shaping her performance in the animated film Transformers One. In this latest project, Johansson voices the character Elita-1, drawing inspiration from her oldest child, Rose. The actress revealed that she often watches films her daughter loves, including Disney classics, to connect with her and understand what resonates with younger audiences.
Johansson fondly recalled the early days of Rose’s movie-watching journey, particularly when the animated film Sing was released. As she voiced the character Ash in that film, she took the opportunity to explain the process of animation to Rose. “I wanted her to see how it all comes together,” Johansson said, expressing how fascinating she finds the behind-the-scenes aspects of filmmaking.
Scarlett shares her daughter Rose with ex-husband Romain Dauriac, whom she was married to from 2014 until their divorce in 2017. She also has a three-year-old son, Cosmo, with her current husband, comedian Colin Jost, whom she married in 2020. In a recent interview, Jost reflected on how his relationship with Johansson has influenced his approach to fatherhood, noting that he learned a lot by observing her parenting style with Rose.
Jost and Johansson’s relationship blossomed after they first met on the set of Saturday Night Live in 2006, though they didn’t start dating until 2017. By then, Rose was already two years old, giving Jost an intimate glimpse of Johansson as a mother. “Part of why I fell in love with her is because she’s such a great mom,” he shared, highlighting the unique perspective he gained during their years together before welcoming their son Cosmo.
The couple’s journey has been a testament to their commitment to family. After tying the knot in a private ceremony during the pandemic, they welcomed Cosmo in 2021. Jost expressed admiration for how Johansson embraces everyday life despite her celebrity status, often donning disguises to enjoy simple activities like grocery shopping. This down-to-earth nature has not only strengthened their bond but also enriched their family dynamic.
As Johansson continues to navigate her dual roles as a mother and a leading actress, her daughter’s influence remains a guiding light, reminding her of the importance of connection and creativity in her work.
