'Easy to create jealousy': Scarlett Johansson on dating outside Hollywood
What's the story
Hollywood actor Scarlett Johansson recently opened up about the challenges of dating someone outside the entertainment industry.
In a candid conversation with David Harbour for Interview magazine, she shared how being in a relationship with a non-industry person can lead to unexpected complications.
"I've had serious relationships with people who were not in the industry, and I found one of the challenges was that the person had no idea of what I needed to do my job," she said.
Job demands
Johansson says actors are 'free-spirited' by nature
Johansson emphasized that while every job has challenges, acting comes with distinct pressures.
"I also think it's easy to create a lot of jealousy when a person is not involved in the industry, because actors by nature are very free-spirited and they create very intimate relationships with people at work."
"They can be loyal to a partner and also very engaged in all these other kinds of relationships, and I think it can be a blurry line for some people."
Career update
Johansson has been married twice
Johansson shares her son, Cosmo, 3, with her current husband Colin Jost and daughter Rose, 10, with ex-husband Romain Dauriac.
She has previously been married to art dealer Dauriac from 2014-2017 and actor Ryan Reynolds from 2008-2011.
Recently, she attended the 2025 Cannes Film Festival with Jost for her directorial debut, Eleanor the Great.
