Scarlet Johansson & Natalie Portman Team Up
February 12th, 2008
Scarlett Johansson has spoken to W magazine about her upcoming film, ‘The Other Boleyn Girl’, co-starring Natalie Portman – and puts an end to those engagement rumors when she reveals that she doesn’t "believe humans are monogamous by nature".
Johansson has featured heavily in the tabloids and gossip columns recently as speak of her reported engagement to boyfriend Ryan Reynolds continue to dominate headlines – however, the sultry star says she is unconcerned by tabloid gossip.
“I’ve been battered for saying that I don’t believe humans are monogamous by nature,” she explains to reporter Danielle Stein.
“The response was, like, ‘What a ho-bag!’ I didn’t mean that I don’t practice monogamy in my own life—of course I do! I’m not going to be in some tarty relationship. But I stick by what I said."
Recalling another occasion upon which her words were twisted by the press, Johansson says, “I remember another time, I said I get tested for AIDS twice a year, and again that got spun as me being promiscuous. But I was single at the time, and I think it’s important to do that!”
As for succumbing to the young Hollywood tag that’s bandied around for the likes of Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton, both Johansson and Portman have managed to stay scandal-free, with preferring to stay away from the paparazzi’s ever watchful lens.
"You’re never going to find me at [notorious celebrity hangout] the Ivy,” Johansson explains.
“I don’t care how good the Cobb salad is. These tabloid magazines—I think they’re hideous and the downfall of society.”
Portman however, wishes for her reputation to be a little more edgier than the ‘down-to-earth’ tag she’s been assinged, saying, "The only thing that’s a little annoying, is I feel that I come off kind of boring somethimes."
Johansson disagrees with her co-star saying, "I don’t think you’re boring."
"Thank you," Portman responds. "I appreciate that."
