Scarlett Johansson is an American actress, one of the most beautiful stars in the world, but she's also an actress who continues to surprise us. And here's some facts about her that you might not know..
1. Scarlett Johansson was born in New York City, New York on November 22, 1984 [the 21st anniversary of the assassination of John F Kennedy]. Her nickname is “Scarjo”. However, she is not fond of it at all. As a matter of fact, in one interview, she said that she found it meaning "awful" and "terrible"..
2. She has an older sister, Vanessa, also an actress; an older brother, Adrian; a twin brother, Hunter (who appeared with her in the film Manny & Lo) and an older half-brother, Christian, from her father's first marriage.
3. Johansson grew up in a household with "little money", and with a mother who was a "film buff". She and her brother, Hunter [who is three minutes younger than her], attended P.S. 41 in the upper-middle-class Greenwich Village neighborhood, in Manhattan, for elementary school.
4. While shooting her new film We Bought a Zoo, Scarlett Johansson found herself face-to-face with tons of dangerous predators. But the actress says the uneasiness of sharing the camera with a lion and a tiger was nothing compared to how she feels when she spots a cockroach. "I can't stand them! I'm crippled by them. It's my kryptonite," said her. And she terrified of birds too. "I'm only scared of birds. Something about wings and beaks and the flapping. I'm terrified of them," she explained.
5. Johansson is considered one of Hollywood's modern female sex symbols, and has frequently appeared in published lists of the sexiest women in the world. She has been described as a "peerless sex symbol" by Channel 4. In FHM's 100 Sexiest Women in the World (2005), she was ranked No.9 (the highest -ranking new entry to the list that year). In November 2006, Johansson was named "Sexiest Woman Alive" by Esquire. In February 2007, she was named the "Sexiest Celebrity" of the year by Playboy. During the filming of Match Point, director Woody Allen described Johansson as "sexually overwhelming", saying that he found it "very hard to be extra witty around a sexually overwhelming, beautiful young woman who is wittier than you are." In 2010, GQ named Johansson its Babe of the Year. In 2011, Men's Health named her one of the "100 Hottest Women of All-Time", ranking her at No. 12.
6. On September 14, 2011, the FBI announced it was investigating the alleged hacking of Johansson's cell phone and the dissemination of nude photographs of her. Johansson said the photos had been sent to her then-husband, Ryan Reynolds, three years prior to the incident. As a result of the investigation, Christopher Chaney of Jacksonville, Florida pleaded guilty to computer hacking. In addition to a prison sentence for Chaney, prosecutors are requesting that he pay Johansson about $66,000 in compensation.
7. Scarlett Johansson is Pro-Porn. Pornography is the theme of Scarlett Johansson's latest film "Don Jon" and the actress has been pretty open about her views about pornography and watching it too. She believes that watching porn is not a taboo and in fact it can equally be enjoyed by both men and women. "I think porn, like anything else, can be enjoyed," Johansson told. "It can be productive for both men and women."
8. By her own admission she is a passionate smoker and has been one since she was 15. She has tried to quit the nasty habit several times, in vain. She was rejected as a child star, and explains her voice was old beyond it's years. She told the mag, "I was always terrible at commercials because my voice was so deep. At the age of nine, I sounded like a whiskey-drinking, chain-smoking fool."
9. Johansson is very politically active, having campaigned for John Kerry in 2004. At the 2012 Democratic National Convention, she spoke on behalf of Obama's reelection. Johansson said she comes from a “politically active family” and “may be able to lend a bigger voice to politics” in the future. she also backed Hillary Clinton for the next US election, saying she would make a “wonderful president”. “I think we could only benefit from having someone in office who has been a mother; women have a different perspective and appreciation of humanity because of that maternal instinct,” she said. “It can only be a step forward.”
10. She inspired a character on The Looney Tunes named Starlett Johansson in its June 2011 episode "Casa De Calma."
