Scarlett Johansson Dishes on Father’s Day Plans for Colin Jost (Exclusive)
Scarlett Johansson wowed in white as she channeled her Bette Davis-esque “Asteroid City” character at the NYC premiere. She spoke with “Extra’s” Megan Ryte about the movie and dished on how her family will celebrate Father's Day.
She said of the playing an actor in the movie, “It is an interesting thing. I'm trying to think… I have played other actors before… I played Janet Leigh, so that was really hard, but I don't think I've ever played a sociopathic actor who feels no guilt and does whatever she wants.”
Megyn commented, “It's got to be a little fun, though," to which Scarlett replied, “Oh, yeah! It's so convenient, like ,to have no guilt. It's great! Not in real life, but it works.”
Scarlett gushed over the star-studded cast as well, saying, “I'm sure it feels like kind of herding cats at times because we're all just chit-chatty and so excited to share with each other… To be able to come back after a hard day's work with my wonderful scene partner Jason Schwartzman and then have this welcoming committee, the long table and it's, you know, Adrien Brody and Ed Norton and Willem Dafoe and Maya Hawke… It was surreal it was so, so exciting very fulfilling.”
Scarlett also dished on Father’s Day plans to celebrate hubby Colin Jost.
“We will do a nice, like, brunchy thing,” she said. "Colin’s grandfather Bill is still with us — he's going to be 98 this year — so we'll be celebrating many generations of dads, which is so exciting. I love that.”

She replied, “I don't know… Cosmo's not totally there yet, so if he could manage to maybe just scribble over my daughter Rose's drawing, that seems like a good two-for-one. She won't be happy about it, though.”
