Scarlett Johansson candidly discussed her divorce from Romain Dauriac while promoting her film “Marriage Story” at the 76th Venice Film Festival.
The 34-year-old actress shared how a conversation with director Noah Baumbach about her personal experience led to her role as Nicole in the film.
During a press conference, Johansson mentioned that she was in the midst of her divorce when she met Baumbach.
“I was actually going through a divorce. I didn’t know what we were going to talk about… I just kind of blew into the room, ordered a glass of white wine, and started complaining. And he was just listening and very attentive. And then he cut it short and said, ‘Funny you should mention it.’”
Johansson felt a connection with Baumbach during this conversation. “It felt sort of fated in a way,” she said. “It was an experience to share with him and have him share with me. And it somehow came at just the right time.”
Johansson and Dauriac were married from 2014 to 2017, and they share a five-year-old daughter named Rose.
Before this, Johansson was married to Ryan Reynolds from 2008 to 2011. She is currently engaged to “SNL” star Colin Jost.
At the festival, Johansson dazzled in a Michael Kors outfit featuring a black-and-blue striped crop top and loose-pleated grey trousers highlighting her toned midriff.
She completed the look with black buckled heels and a white belt. Her blonde hair was styled in glamorous waves, and she chose a natural makeup look.
Her co-stars Adam Driver and Laura Dern and director Noah Baumbach were also present. Driver looked sharp in a black suit, while Dern stood out in a strapless puff-ball midi dress with black and red stripes, paired with biker chic black flats with large gold buckles.
“Marriage Story,” a Netflix film, features Johansson and Driver as parents dealing with divorce in a romantic dramedy with a dual narrative approach.
