Scarlett Johansson opens up about her fiance, French journalist Romain Dauriac, the challenges she expects to face in balancing motherhood and family life with her acting career and more in a candid interview with The Wall Street Journal Magazine.
The 29-year-old actress who was twice named Esquire magazine’s ‘Sexiest Woman Alive’ and who has one of her signature siren roles in a superhero movie — as Natasha opposite Chris Evans in Captain America: The Winter Soldier — is now pregnant with her first child, even as celebrity watchers are now on the baby-bump watch.
In a new interview with Wall Street Journal magazine, she opens up about her future of balancing motherhood and career. Although the interview was conducted before her pregnancy was announced — although not confirmed by the actress herself — she offered some revealing comments: “It seems so stressful to not be able to spend time with your family because you’re constantly chasing the tail of your own success. There must exist a world in which I can balance those things, be able to raise a family and still make a film a year, or work on my own, develop things, do theater. I want to be able to have it all.” And, as the interviewer noted, with laughter, she added: “Selfishly.”
She went on to say, “I know that with that there will be some sacrifices. I know that’s the struggle with working mothers and successful careers. It happens.”
She goes on to address the proverbial elephant in the room; the double standard that women still face, as it is women who are the ones who have to do all of that “balancing.” She drew the contrast with her male colleagues, saying that with them, “it just doesn’t happen that way. You can be every woman’s fantasy, and nobody thinks twice about the fact that you have eight kids or whatever.”
She also spoke about her fiance — with whom she spends much of her time, in Paris — noting the challenges she has faced because of language barriers. “When you’re in a relationship with somebody and you’re communicating with them, you want to be as clear and concise as possible. We try to speak French a little, but it’s mostly like, ‘I like this sandwich.’ ‘That’s a nice color.’ ”
She declined the opportunity to open up about wedding plans or wedding dates, saying, “Our plan is to get married at some point.”
The full interview can be seen lhere in which she reflects upon the successful movies she has been a part of, including ‘The Avengers’ and recently, Spike Jonze’s ‘Her.’
