Scarlett Johansson ruminated over facing challenges such as “jealousy” while dating non-actors. During her Interview Magazine conversation with David Harbour, she pondered over the tensions in a relationship that come with dating people outside the entertainment industry. The subject found its way into the discussion as Harbour recalled his initial days getting into drama. He then shared that his first love was a TV show star and admitted to mostly dating actors owing to their mutual interests.
Scarlett Johansson makes a candid confession about her dating life and its problems
David Harbour and Scarlett Johansson made candid and unfiltered confessions about their dating lives, finding points of convergence in their struggles. Harbour admitted to finding his “first love” with actor Emily Schulman and acknowledged mostly dating within the industry. “I tried to date lawyers and business people in my twenties, but there’s something about being a carny freak that normal people don’t get,” he told his former Marvel co-star.
Johansson owned up to having “serious relationships with people” outside the entertainment industry. But building these connections was not without its own set of difficulties. One of her challenges was that “the person had no idea of what I needed to do my job.” Before that, Harbour had echoed similar views about a lack of understanding of each other’s professions. Likewise, she wouldn’t know what an oncologist “needed to do for their job” if she were romantically involved with one.
Scarlett Johansson further opined that dating a non-actor could also “create a lot of jealousy.” She explained how actors are “free-spirited” and form “intimate relationships” at work. Regardless, she maintained that they can be “loyal” to their partners while staying committed to “these other kinds of relationships.” However, Johansson believes the line sometimes gets blurry for certain individuals. In addition, she highlighted the complexities of understanding their bonds with “the public,” especially for “people outside of the industry.”
