Scarlett Johansson has been making waves in Hollywood with her beauty and her talent. She’ll pretty much be known to fans as Black Widow from “The Avengers,” until her next big hit. She’s not afraid to take on all kinds of interesting roles to broaden her horizon like The Major in “Ghost In The Shell.” But there’s more to this gifted actress than just looks. She has talent that goes beyond the big screen. Here are some interesting facts about ScarJo’s journey in her career, her love life, and other aspects that personify her fierce spirit, independence, and beauty.Not only was her grandfather a director and a screenwriter, but her mother was a producer too.
Her dad, Karsten Johansson was born in Denmark while her mom Melanie, is of Polish descent. So ScarJo is essentially half Polish and half Danish.

Back in 1998, she lost the lead role in the film “The Parent Trap” to none other than Lindsay Lohan.

Early in her career, she auditioned for commercials but was rejected most of the time. So her producer mom encouraged her to audition for films instead. Good call!
Scarlett actually played Justin Timberlake’s love interest in the music video “What Goes Around, Comes Around,” which was the source of the rumors.
She’s been involved with Josh Hartnett, Jared Leto, and even Ryan Reynolds. She actually ended up marrying Reynolds in 2008 but they divorced two years later.
This might explain how she hooked up with Benicio Del Toro who was 17 years older than she was.
