Scarlett Johansson has made a name for herself in Hollywood thanks to her range of critically acclaimed as well as fan-favorite films. From playing the Black Widow to much-loved films like A Marriage Story, her range is to die for. She has worked with some of the most skilled actors and directors who have helped uplift her career greatly. However, surprisingly enough, she has also worked with people who never expected to be starring with her.

For one of her films, things got even more peculiar as she found herself filming with random strangers. No matter how hard she tried, she just could not get used to it. From filming big movies with big actors to disguising herself so as to not get recognized even in a movie, Johansson has had some of the most interesting filming experiences.

Scarlett Johansson Filmed With Random Strangers
When Scarlett Johansson was working with Jonathan Glazer on Under the Skin, she never expected to work with random strangers they found on the streets. The movie revolves around her character, Laura, who disguises herself as a human and lures people from the street into her van. Although she would start off by seducing them, it would soon turn into her sending them to another dimension to become fodder. During an interview with The Guardian, she revealed how there was one major factor she was not aware of when getting into the movie.

“That happened later on. And none of us knew how it was going to work. We toyed with lots of different things like prosthetics, teeth, all kinds of things that would change my face but only slightly, when in fact there was no need to do any of that.”
She came to know that quite a lot of people she would be luring in her van would actually be ordinary people walking on the streets and not paid actors. This led her to question just how she could disguise her face so as to not appear as a familiar figure.

Scarlett Johansson Hated Tom Cruise’s $161 Million Movie
Scarlett Johansson admitted while speaking with The Guardian that when she first watched Eyes Wide Shut, she absolutely hated the movie. Despite her dislike, she ended up watching Tom Cruise’s film three times in total. The only reason she ever went back to see it again was because of how much she hated it.

“I would way rather not have middle ground. I would way rather fail in someone’s eyes than be that sort of tepid… that’s the worst. I remember going to see Eyes Wide Shut and I saw it like three times in the theatre and the first time I saw it, I hated it. I had a visceral reaction to it I hated it so much. And then I was like, I have to see that movie again, I hated it so much. And then I loved it. I think in some ways I hated the emotional experience, it’s like a visceral reaction. There’s passion behind it. I can’t ever totally fault a film that I absolutely hate.”
It was only by the second time that she saw just how much passion there was behind the making of this movie. She had a love-hate relationship with the entire movie and that is something that stuck with her for a very long time.
