Husband of the year.
Scarlett Johansson joked that her prenup with husband Colin Jost is the reason why he made a cameo in her new movie “Fly Me to the Moon.”
“Greg Berlanti was our director. [He’s] a huge fan of Colin’s,” the Marvel actress, 39, said on Monday’s episode of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” when discussing Jost’s cameo.
“Colin … I think he had to do it ’cause it’s, like, in our prenuptial agreement,” Johansson joked. “If I ask him to do something, he has to be there to support me. He has to be in every one of my films.”
“I run lines with him,” she shared. “Which is great. You’d think that would be very convenient because you have a partner there to help you out.
You learn your lines for tomorrow or whatever. He does, like, real serious … he really commits to the line reading.”
She continued: “It’s not always the performance I want it to be. I’m just like, ‘Say the lines!’ Big dramatic pauses. He gets really into it. I’m like, ‘I can’t focus. Forget it. I’ll just learn them myself.’
“He’s great,” Johansson added about her husband. “He’s so funny and off-the-cuff and charming and great.”
The couple met in 2017 when Johansson hosted an episode of “Saturday Night Live.” Jost has worked on the sketch comedy show since 2005.
They got married in 2020 and welcomed their son, Cosmo, the following year.
Johansson also has a 9-year-old daughter, Rose, from her previous marriage to French journalist Romain Dauriac.
While Johansson is busy promoting “Fly Me to the Moon,” Jost is preparing to travel to Tahiti to cover the surfing competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics for NBC.
The “Black Widow” star discussed her husband’s new gig on Monday’s episode of “Today.”
“Even I’m like, ‘How did you get this gig?’ I just want to know,” she said in the interview with Savannah Guthrie.
“When they announced the Paris Olympics, he immediately found out that the surf competition [is] in Tahiti, which is so cool. He loves to surf, we have a place in Montauk, he’s always out there surfing,” Johansson continued. “Somehow the dream became a reality, and now he’s going to be in Tahiti for two weeks. I’m like, ‘Poor you.’”
She quipped: “I think if you can have a piña colada on air while you’re working, it’s not technically work.”
“Fly Me to the Moon” is in theaters Friday.
Scarlett Johansson’s playful banter about her husband Colin Jost making a cameo in her new movie “Fly Me to the Moon” due to their prenuptial agreement has fans chuckling. The Marvel actress revealed on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” that director Greg Berlanti is a huge fan of Jost, which led to his cameo appearance.
Despite the humorous reason behind Jost’s appearance in the film, Johansson praised her husband, stating, “He’s great. He’s so funny and off-the-cuff and charming and great.” Their chemistry extends beyond the screen as she also mentioned that they run lines together, although Jost’s dramatic pauses sometimes lead to comedic moments rather than helpful rehearsals.
The couple’s love story began when they met in 2017 on the set of “Saturday Night Live,” where Jost has been a writer since 2005. After tying the knot in 2020 and welcoming their son, Cosmo, in the following year, the duo continues to support each other in their respective careers.
While Johansson promotes “Fly Me to the Moon,” Jost is gearing up to cover the surfing competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics for NBC in Tahiti. Johansson expressed her amusement at her husband’s exciting new assignment, emphasizing his passion for surfing and the opportunity to combine work and leisure in a tropical paradise. She playfully remarked that sipping on a piña colada while working hardly feels like work.
