Hey everyone, welcome back to the channel. Today we've got a super sweet and honestly
hilarious Hollywood story. Scarlett Johansson has finally opened up about why she completely
panicked after her very first date with Colin Jostin, trust me. You're gonna love this one.
Let's get into it. So 5 years after tying the knot, Scarlett Johansson is looking back at the
moment everything started and according to her, she totally acted like she wasn't into Colin Jost
at all. During an appearance on NBC's Today Show, Scarlett admitted that she was way out of her
comfort zone. She said, nobody had ever asked me out before. I was a serial monogamist and I never
got the traditional, hey, would you like to have dinner sometime? So when Colin, who we all know
from Saturday Night Live actually asked her out, Scarlett froze, but she still went. They met at
an Italian restaurant in the East Village and the date was going great. After dinner, Colin wanted
to keep the night going. He said, I'm meeting friends, let's grab a drink. And Scarlett's response?
I have to go now, I need to leave. Yep, she just walked out after an hour and a half. When she got
home, even her babysitter was confused. Scarlett told her, I don't know why I'm home this early.
I just felt flustered. She later realized she had given Colin the totally wrong impression.
Colin told her he honestly thought that was the end, like she wasn't interested at all.
But the real truth? Scarlett was panicking because she barely had any dating experience.
She was nervous, shy, and totally overwhelmed. And honestly, that just makes this whole story
even cuter. Now, here's the part that makes this even sweeter. Colin actually wrote about Scarlett
in his 2020 memoir, A Very Punchable Face. He said that when he first met her back in 2006
at SNL, he thought she was beautiful, smart, sweet, and intimidatingly sophisticated. Scarlett was 20,
he was 23. And in his own words, the difference in their levels was huge. He joked that she was
way up here, while he was basically one inch off the ground. He even said he looked shaggy
and slovenly. But Scarlett still thought he was cute. Fast forward nearly 10 years, and the two
ended up falling in love, getting married in 2020, and welcoming their son Cosmo in 2021.
Scarlett also shares her daughter Rose with ex-husband Romain Dariac, from award shows
to red carpet kisses, to getting slimed on stage at the MTV awards.
Scarlett and Colin have become one of Hollywood's funniest, most lovable couples. Colin even said,
I've met someone I love and who I feel more comfortable with than I ever have before.
Pretty sweet, right? So that's the real story behind Scarlett Johansson's first
date panic-in, how it actually led to one of Hollywood's strongest relationships.
