Scarlett Johansson Shares Father’s Day Dilemma
During her appearance at The Phoenician Scheme premiere, Scarlett Johansson revealed she has yet to decide on the perfect Father’s Day present for Colin Jost. The actress openly admitted,
I have to think of some Father’s Day plans!
—Scarlett Johansson, Actress. She added some playful uncertainty about what to bring while on the Jurassic World press trip, joking,
I think we’re going to be on the Jurassic World tour for Father’s Day, so I don’t know. I’ll have to scare up some kind of—what do you get somebody for that? A dinosaur egg?
—Scarlett Johansson, Actress.
Bringing Family Along While Filming
Johansson also discussed the realities of balancing parenthood and filming on location. She pointed out,
Sometimes I do [bring my kids to work], but at this stage I feel like unless everybody else is on vacation, it’s so disruptive to everybody’s schedules and I’m working all the time,
—Scarlett Johansson, Actress. Reflecting on the summer spent shooting Jurassic World, she explained,
When we were doing Jurassic World it was over the summertime, so I got to bring my family to a lot of fun locations. But this one, it’s so much about the work.
—Scarlett Johansson, Actress.
Different Experiences on Set
Transitioning from the high-energy set of Jurassic World to Wes Anderson’s controlled environment for The Phoenician Scheme, Johansson highlighted the differences in filmmaking experiences. She noted,
Wes has created this whole environment that feels like a troop of actors and you’re kind of all dug in and focused. And kids can be distracting,
—Scarlett Johansson, Oscar Nominee.

Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost, who became a couple in 2017 and married in 2020, share their son Cosmo, born in 2021.
