Scarlett Johansson : Scarlett Johansson’s success mantra - hard work and luck

Actress Scarlett Johansson has revealed her secret to success -hard work and a touch of good fortune.

The 24-year-old ‘Lost In Translation’ star made it big in Hollywood with 1998 movie ‘The Horse Whisperer’ and since then has not looked back.

The pretty lady says right from the beginning she knew she would star in films, and credits hard work with helping her achieve her life-long ambition, reports the Daily Express.

She tells Moviehole.net, “I wanted to make movies since I was three years old, so I guess my perspective on it is that I was more than surprised by success.

“I feel incredibly lucky to have had success, because I’d seen and I know so many talented people that never get the opportunity.

“But I am a big believer that putting in the actual hours is kind of what makes a successful career and a lot of luck too, of course.” (ANI)

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds Looking at Best Time to Have Kids

Newlyweds Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds reportedly have been discussing the best time for the actress to get pregnant as they are desperate to start a family "sooner, rather than later". Chicago Sun-Times' Bill Zwecker claims to have been told by a source that "Scarlett is keen to be a young mom and does not plan to be the sort of women who leaves motherhood too late and starts worrying about her biological clock ticking."

And now that Scarlett has done filming her new movie "He's Just Not That Into You" and won't start working on her next big screen project "Amazon" until late next year, rumor has it, the movie beauty and Ryan might think the time is right for her to conceive. The celebrity couple even is reported to be contemplating adopting a child from an American inner city.

Scarlett Johansson, who turned 24 years old on Saturday, November 22, began dating Ryan Reynolds, 32, in February last year. They got married in a secret ceremony, held outside Vancouver in the groom's native Canada on September 27 this year.

Meanwhile, reports have been mounting that Scarlett and Ryan are planning to hold a second wedding celebration, meant for friends and family members who couldn't attend the previous nuptials. It is believed that they will invite 150 guests to the planned festivity, which is supposed to be held in the coming months.

No comment has been made by both of them or their people concerning the adoption and second wedding reports.

Scarlett Johansson inspired Katy Perry's 'Kissed a Girl' song

Who do you think inspired Katy Perry’s platinum song, “I Kissed a Girl”?

Who else?

Miss Hot Lips herself, Scarlett Johansson.

People writes about how the reporter for Allure -- writing the December cover profile of the actress -- told Johansson during the interview that Perry has admitted the actress was her lip-spiration.

"I had no idea" about the song, Scarlett replied. "I should get a cut!"

Then she added that while it was flattering, "my lips are kind of taken."

Given the perfect segue to discussing how she met actor Ryan Reynolds, the reporter pressed for details about her brand-new husband.

Nice try. But Scarlett, in effect, advised the Allure reporter to talk to the hand.

"Nobody knows," she said. "It's private. It's our story."

Good for you, Scarlett.

Scarlett Johansson's sexy new role

Scarlett Johansson will return to the big screen next month, and this time she'll be sexier than ever.

The Lost In Translation actress will play the baddie's sidekick Silken Floss in the film adaptation of comic book The Spirit - a role which director Frank Miller included in the film just for Scarlett.

"Well, she's a doctor or a nurse, really, but yes, she's very sexy. Frank really allowed that to develop. Very forward and sexy in a 1940s way," Scarlett told Total Film magazine.

She added that the dialogue, comprising of witty one-liners, made her character even sexier.

"That was so much fun. I mean the dialogue was great. Only Frank could write this stuff... Forget about obscene - it's worse than that because it's so clever!"

But Scarlett said her character wasn't just a bad girl.

"Like a lot of the characters, she's kind of in a grey area. They're not really good and they're not really bad, you know? They're products of their environment, I think," she said.
