  1. > “I also think it’s easy to create a lot of jealousy when a person is not involved in the industry, because actors by nature are very free-spirited and they create very intimate relationships with people at work,” she said. “They can be loyal to a partner and also very engaged in all these other kinds of relationships, and I think it can be a blurry line for some people.”

  3. Scarlett out here cheating and announcing it. I respect her game.

  4. This sounds like someone who’s never worked a real job. With real people. Coworkers here be banging all the time.

  5. Why is every quote from a Hollywood celebrity always weird and out of touch.

  7. You work closely for many hours with people and then don’t see them again. Probably works well for free spirits

  9. I feel like a lot of people are jumping on this quote unfairly.

    Yes, normal people have close relationships with their coworkers. Actors have simulated relationships with their coworkers, are often shown in public with those same coworkers, and occasionally have simulated romantic scenes with their coworkers. It’s not the same as having an opposite sex coworker you’re friends with in an office job.

  10. I mean, she announced that she’s not a monogamous person back during her first marriage to Ryan Reynolds. This is nothing new for her.

  11. Joe from Accounting here… So does that mean I have a chance?

  12. She finally admits Colin is not part of the industry.

  13. I saw a post here once of a set of photos of Steve Carrel with a former actress he worked with and they were VERY intimate. These weren’t even on set, they were just them in their personal time. Yeah actors kinda have to live that life to boost their online status.

  15. None celebs usually don’t have to contend with their partner leaving to spend months at a time with that coworker, be that shooting a film or literally travelling the world to promote it. The whole time, how they interact, on screen and off has to be perfect in order to further sell the film I can see why that might be hard for a normie.

    That said, still a weird way of wording it. Ew.

  16. Honestly, I get it.

    Imagine every few moths, you join a new community at a new job. You spend 12 hours a day with this weird cocktail of stress and boredom usually in the middle of somewhere far from home with all these people. It becomes like high school, where people are thick as thieves and sort of need to survive with each other. They’re all there for the same reason and you probably have a fair bit in common with your co-stars and sorta grow close at the heightened energy of this *thing*. It just kind of brings you together in an intense way and totally pulls you apart in the same way after. It’s happened to every play or show I’ve ever done. I had one girlfriend who just couldn’t understand the idea that I might have to kiss somebody, but I don’t really like them…it’s just the gig.

    None of that has to be sexual. but people not in the arts either totally get it, or do not and think its just corny or must be sexual.

  17. Hollywood actors and actresses should just date people who are polyamorous and then it wouldn’t be a problem.

  18. No, she just doesn’t want to date men who have a 9 to 5 job, because they are below her league (she makes tens of millions every year)

  25. How else will I become famous?

    Step 1. : date Scarlett Johansson.

  26. I don’t want to jump on this quote because I can’t tell if it’s just a poorly worded way of explaining that normal people struggle to see their partners be in simulated intimate experiences with other people or if it’s a weird way of justifying having relationships with coworkers that crosses the normal boundaries of a professional environment by saying that normal people are just incapable of understanding intimate relationships at work the same way actors do.

  27. i wouldn’t date an actor or actress.

    theater kid narcissism syndrome. so don’t do it

  29. Well sometimes even an actor or actress can get jealous of their celebrity partners too, not just folks outside Hollywood.

  30. So intimate that a celeb marriage that lasts more than a decade is celebrated.

  31. Actors are paid whores. Ancient cultures often shunned them, but here we are worshipping them.

  32. Lmao didn’t she say she wont date anyone in the industry because of jealousy and competitiveness. Not much options left

  34. Isn’t it a fairly well known “rumor” that she and Colin just have an open relationship?

  35. Look im almost certain that there is plenty of ladies and gentlemen around who wouldnt give 2 fucks about that if they could quit a soul sucking job..and play video games and do arts and crafts and shit no check to check with black widow if you dont fumble 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 she should just do a battle Royale

  37. I don’t get why actors’ opinions on anything are worth shit.

    They’re just dancing monkeys, basically. If they want to shag each other randomly then why does it matter to anyone outside of the dancing monkey world?

    These people are not role models and should not be treated as such.

  38. Annnd actors wonder why they struggle to stay with a person. Being “close” with other actors is also used as a cop out. Some actors have boundaries and stick to it and so their relationships last. They can set their boundaries if they really care so much.

  40. Yeah actors are garbage really, they’re all lovey and darling but in reality hate each other’s guts. Notice how actors never remember birthdays only their own. By the end of their life they’re forgotten. They’re left with a sad assistant who’s keeping them alive hoping for a payout. And when they’re dead the best they can hope for is their face in the “In Memoriam” tribute at the Oscars.
