She is going to be turning 33 soon, so here’s a list of 10 things you probably didn’t know about this beautiful actress!
10. Child Actress
Born on November 22, 1984, in New York City, Scarlett Johansson attended the renowned Manhattan Professional Children’s School. She graduated alongside classmates like Carrie Fischer and Sarah Michelle Gellar. She started going to commercial and film auditions when she was a little girl, but she wasn’t particularly good at commercials so her mother began limiting her to film projects. This worked out well because she soon got her first film role when she was only 9 in the project, Manny & Leo, alongside her twin brother, Hunter Johansson! Johansson has said that she’s always wanted to be an actress and that she used to put on performances for adults when she was a little kid. “Ever since I was three or four I was very dramatically inclined. I was very outgoing. I loved adults’ attention and I loved to perform. I used to put on shows for my family,” she said in an interview with Express.
