Scarlett Johansson Learns To Love Monogamy

Scarlett Johansson doesn’t believe in monogamy – unless she’s involved.

“I don’t think it’s a natural instinct for human beings,” she told Cosmopolitan, recalling comments she made while promoting “Match Point” in 2006. “Monogamy can be hard work for some people. I don’t think it applies to everybody, and I don’t think a lot of people can do it.”

But Johansson, now engaged to Ryan Reynolds, says she is one of those people.

Overview

One of the hottest young actresses in Hollywood today, Scarlett Johansson has been acting since she was eight but it wasn’t until her well-received performance in 1998’s “The Horse Whisperer” that she began to gain critical attention.

By 2003, she had two Golden Globe nominations to her credit — one for giving her most memorable performance, starring opposite Bill Murray in “Lost in Translation.”

She followed up “Translations” with the less successful Michael Bay action film “The Island,” and then Woody Allen’s critically-acclaimed “Match Point” in 2006, which earned her a fourth Golden Globe nomination.

She has been romantically linked to a variety of actors including Jared Leto, Josh Hartnett and most recently, Ryan Reynolds.
