In a candid interview with Playboy, Scarlett Johansson, renowned for her roles in Hollywood, openly shared her thoughts on the concepts of monogamy and marriage. The actress, known for her performances in films like “Match Point” and “Lost in Translation,” expressed her complex views on these subjects, describing them as significant responsibilities.
Johansson began by expressing her appreciation for the romantic notion of marriage, describing it as a beautiful idea. She acknowledged that while it can be a beautiful thing, the practice of marriage can be challenging. She noted, “I don’t think it’s natural to be a monogamous person. I might be skewered for that, but I think it’s work. It’s a lot of work.”
This wasn’t the first time Johansson had voiced such sentiments. In 2006, while promoting “Match Point,” she asserted that humans aren’t inherently monogamous creatures. However, she clarified her belief in monogamy and true love, stating, “I believe in finding a soul mate. I’ve always been in monogamous relationships. I would never want to be in an open one. It’d be too awful. Monogamy can be hard work for some people. I don’t think it applies to everybody, and I don’t think a lot of people can do it.”
Johansson has been married three times. Her first marriage was to actor Ryan Reynolds in 2008, and they divorced in 2011. She then married French journalist Romain Dauriac in 2014, and they divorced in 2017. She is currently married to comedian Colin Jost, and they have a child together.
Scarlett Johansson’s views on marriage and monogamy reflect her belief in the significance of finding a soul mate, despite the challenges that may come with it.
