Earlier this month, 40-year-old actress Scarlett Johansson sat down for an interview with InStyle magazine, and she talked a little about her family.
That’s not something she does all that often. She’s very private when it comes to her kids. For those who don’t know, she has a 10-year-old daughter named Rose with her ex Romain Dauriac, and a 3-year-old son named Cosmo with husband Colin Jost.
Johansson says that around her friends and family, she probably shares too much, but in public? Not at all.
But if anyone knows me, I definitely over-share. I’m not a closed book, you know? I’m politically active and vocal about it. But I am a private person in the sense that I value my close friendships. My family is very precious to me, as is their privacy.
She went on to talk about how her daughter recently expressed interest in making videos for Scarlett’s skincare brand, The Outset.
Scarlett shut down that idea pretty quickly…
The anonymity of my children is very precious to me. I was talking to my daughter the other day, because she said, ‘Oh, I would love to make videos for The Outset,’ She was like, ‘Why can’t I?’ And I said, ‘Well, other than the fact that you’re 10…’ The thing about being a public figure is that the idea of being recognizable and celebrated feels fun, but then you can never stuff it back in the bottle.
She hopes to preserve that for her children for as long as possible, and honestly, we don’t blame her one bit.
