“It’s like, my worst nightmare”: Marvel Star Scarlett Johansson Was Nervous Before Meeting Disgraced Hollywood Director


Scarlett Johansson and Woody Allen have enjoyed a long and fruitful friendship, with the filmmaker recognizing Johansson’s early potential and casting her in a few of his films. However, Allen’s unconventional methods of breaking tension on set sometimes raised eyebrows. Disgraced after his ex-wife accused Allen of abusing her adopted child, the filmmaker has been surrounded by a myriad of controversies for the past 25 years. For Johansson, who had long been an admirer of Allen’s work even before collaborating with him, the opportunity to work with the acclaimed director was initially nerve-wracking. And she once admitted how it turned into a nightmare.
In an interview with IGN, the Black Widow actress admitted to being a big fan of Allen’s films and described the experience of being hired for Match Point as a dream turned into a nightmare. The camera tests, in particular, proved to be a daunting ordeal for her.

Scarlett Johansson reveals why it was a nightmare to work with Woody AllenDuring the camera tests, Scarlett Johansson recalled feeling anxious as Woody Allen watched and directed her. She mentioned that Allen introduced himself, stepped behind the camera, and observed her as she came out in various outfits. This experience became her worst nightmare, as the pressure and nerves made it challenging for her to perform well. However, she recognized the importance of overcoming her nervousness, realizing that she had to rise to the occasion and make the most of the opportunity to work with Allen.
“We did these camera tests which were horrible, long and Woody was just kind of there and he said, ‘Hey, I’m Woody Allen.’ And he stepped behind the camera and you start coming out in all these outfits. It’s like, my worst nightmare. My first take was horrible. But, then I realized that I better suck it up, because I was going to have seven weeks of this.”

But despite her nervous start, Johansson managed to find her footing and delivered the performances expected of her. And soon, Johansson and Allen developed a playful relationship over time, characterized by banter and a sense of goofiness. This dynamic was one of the reasons Allen cast Johansson in Scoop, a predominantly comedic film.
When Woody Allen brought up Scarlett Johansson’s virginity to break the tension on setIn an interview with Movie Web, Johansson shared that she and Allen had a playful relationship, and the director wrote a comedy specifically for them. Their camaraderie continued during the filming of Scoop. She said,

“Woody and I have a playful relationship. I think he wanted to do a comedy and so he wrote a comedy for us. We went back to London all over again, but this time I had to watch him get his nose powdered. I felt it was a real honor for me and a lot of fun. It’s nice to know that somebody likes you as much as you like them.”
As part of their lighthearted exchanges, Allen would often employ unconventional tactics to break the tension between scenes. According to Hollywood, he would occasionally ask Johansson personal questions, such as inquiring about the age at which she lost her virginity. She revealed,

“We would be shooting some intense confrontational scene and then Woody would yell, ‘Cut,’ and he’d turn to me and ask, ‘So how old were you when you lost your virginity?’”
While Johansson and Allen’s friendship and working relationship has thrived over the years, it is important to note that their collaboration has also attracted controversy. Allen has faced allegations of sexual misconduct, which has led to public discussions and debates regarding his work and the industry’s response to such allegations.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
