9YO son just asked me to put batteries in his despicable me fart gun. Spent the next 15 minutes playing with his fart gun. Despite my wife hating it I still encourage him to use whenever possible.

Introducing Scarlett Johansson

After three decades in Hollywood, Scarlett Johansson remains one of the most known, yet seemingly unknowable, people on the planet. But when she lets you in, she really lets you in. Behind the steely armor of red carpet couture and camera-ready skin, there’s a working mom like any you’ve met: spinning plates, righting wrongs, protecting her kids, and namechecking her therapist. All you need is the invitation...

...“She’s intentional,” Hager says she’s come to realize. “Okay, and she wears cool clothes. Scarlett is an Avenger. But her badassery is not surpassed by her kindness and her generosity. It’s miraculous for somebody who’s been in this industry for so long, which can turn people…” Hager’s light Texan twang peters out with the ellipsis. “You know. Into not kind and generous. I keep being like, There’s some kind error, because you’re famous.” ...

... Whether for streaming rights or AI, Johansson was not, and is not, interested in being a permanent spokesperson. But she’s going to speak up and out when she feels she must. Then, as is usually her M.O., gets out of the way.

“I don't need to be beating the drum the whole time,” she says. “That’s not my place. But, also, I'm not afraid of being invalidated. For certain things, particularly with the streamer residual piece, when the industry is in the process of this huge shift, that bubble eventually had to burst. I guess the bubble popped with me in a way.”

She continues: “I'm fortunate enough to have been working for such a long time, and not that long ago felt settled with where I am in my career.” She says she, not so long ago, lived feast or famine. “Like every single actor working, I had this constant fear that everything would go away. Or that every movie would be my last. I am still the 8-year-old kid just waiting to get another part. But now I see that actually I built something that… that I have a place here. And because of that, I've been able to stand up for myself and not feel like I would disappear. I can shoulder it.”
