High School Scarlett Johansson Wouldn’t Have Dated Teenage Colin Jost: “My Brother Had That Same Haircut"
Scarlett Johansson said she wouldn't have dated her husband Colin Jost if they'd met in high school.
Scarlett Johansson wouldn’t have dated her husband Colin Jost in high school.
The Black Widow star admitted — after being shown a photo of her 39-year-old husband and Saturday Night Live performer from his yearbook — there was “no way” she would have been romantically interested in him as a teenager.
Appearing on The Drew Barrymore Show, Johansson, 37, said: "Umm, I don't think so, no. Personally, my brother had that same haircut, both of my brothers, and I just can't. There's no way. I mean, who decided on that cut as a stylish thing? What hairdresser was like, 'I'll try this'?"
Back in the day: One day, this teenager will marry Scarlett Johansson.
Later in the interview, Johansson spilled about how she had met Jost — with who she shares seven-month-old son Cosmo — but only got together when “the timing was right”.
She said: “I mean he’s a very cute guy, but the other times I was there I was in another relationship…. This time the timing was right.
“I think he looked differently to me because I was available, the timing just has to be right. I think that I definitely have been in relationships where the timing is not right… and sometimes it’s a good person but the timing [is] off and it’s important to be open to that, too.”
The Vicky Cristina Barcelona star — who was previously married to Ryan Reynolds and Romain Dauriac, the father of her seven-year-old daughter Rose — gushed about how much she loved working with Barrymore on the 2009 romcom He’s Just Not That Into You after they “bonded” over a love of popping to the pharmacy.
She told Barrymore: “We shot that I think it was like a CVS or a Rite Aid or something that they closed, and they said ‘you guys feel free to go shopping while you’re in this Rite Aid,’ and I think you and I bonded because I was like ‘Oh my God. I love a Rite Aid,’ and you were like, ‘This is my dream to spend all day in a pharmacy,’ and so we just went up and down the aisles doing our shopping.”
