Scarlett Johansson has described her first marriage as “incredibly romantic”, but insisted she currently has no plans to tie the knot for the second time. Speaking to the latest issue of ELLE UK (out January 2) the star – currently promoting ‘Hitchcock’ – said that she liked being married to Ryan Reynolds, at the time.

She said: “I got married when I was young and it was incredibly romantic and I liked being married, actually. But it is different. It’s hard to put into words.

“To me, being in a functioning relationship doesn’t mean you have to be married. I never think about marriage. Is that weird? The only time I ever think about it is when people ask me. ‘Would I get married again?’ It’s really not important to me.

“It has no relevance to me right now. I’m not having kids any time soon, I’m in a nice relationship, I’m working a lot and, like I said, it’s not important to me.”

The actress has this year also suffered a leak of personal intimate photos, intended for Reynolds. The hacker responsible has since been jailed.

“It was a crazy time. I had some problems in my family and publicly, my relationship – all that stuff. It was like ‘Oh man what next?’,” she said. “But life has ebbs and flows, don’t you think? Things are more manageable now, but I’m sure something will crumble.”

Here’s hoping life stays crumble-free!

We Bought A Zoo star Scarlett Johansson talks to Metro about the public’s fascination with her private life, and what it was like to finally work with Cameron Crowe.

How do you deal with the public’s obsession with your private life?
I don’t know how anybody handles that kind of stuff. I’m still figuring it out. My greatest fear would be to lose the ability to make an audience sympathise with the character I played because they felt they knew so much about me and they couldn’t shake it. I want them to be completely convinced by who I am playing, to get lost in it.

What was it like to finally work with Cameron Crowe on We Bought A Zoo? You had wanted to work with him for five years.
It was amazing. You leave the audition feeling like a million bucks, whether you got the role or not. You’ve tried everything a million different ways, discussing the depths of the character you want to develop. So to be able to do that over months was a beautiful thing.

Were you inspired by the real zookeeper behind this true story?
My character’s not based on anybody. I met so many handlers and trainers throughout the process. They don’t have friends; they don’t have families; they dedicate their entire lives to the job. Cameron got it right in that sense, when my character, Kelly, gives that dialogue; I think that was inspired by someone he’d spoken to.

The director of photography said you were not scared in the snake scene – so what scares you?
Cockroaches. I hate them. I have a weird childhood trauma from cockroaches. I could do most things I didn’t want to do but any kind of cockroach situation, even if meant the performance of a lifetime, I don’t think I could do it.

Do you feel like you had a childhood? Did you miss what other children had because you were working?
I had a relatively normal childhood. It wasn’t like I was on a TV show constantly and had to be home schooled. I worked consistently but it was never for more than a few months of the year. In many ways, I did things that most kids never had the opportunity to do. I was living a dream… I’m still living it.

She was photographed last week Enjoying the attention of her well built bodyguard. And Scarlet Johansson is showing no signs of leaving her idyllic holiday yacht behind as she relaxes on the boat’s deck with her friends. The Avengers star stayed under the watchful gaze of her burly bodyguard, who took the opportunity to soak up some rays himself. He kept a close eye on her, joining her for a leisurely stroll on a beach before returning to the yacht. And he wasn’t the only one. One image shows two fisherman ogling the beauty as she steps down from the boat. No doubt her bodyguard was just behind, keeping check of their wandering eyes.

Scarlett even looked a little nervous when he wasn’t nearby, biting her nails and looking anxiously over her shoulder. She has got used to having him around at all times, the muscly hunk never off duty for a second. The actress’s burly sidekick was on hand with the soap as she hosed herself down after a dip in the water. Clearly he takes his job very seriously. Scarlett, 27, showed off her jaw-dropping curves as she washed herself after a dip in the water, appearing unselfconscious and very comfortable in his company. The pair were joined briefly by a couple of crew members, but were alone for the majority of the time Scarlett’s bodyguard appeared to be making himself useful by holding something which looked like soap while she showered- displaying an admirable work ethic.

The actress was seen languishing on the boat alongside her bodyguard with whom she put on a very tactile display as she sunbathed earlier in the day.  Scarlett’s advertising executive boyfriend may be wishing he was there. It was Scarlett’s figure rather than the stunning Sicilian views that drew attention as she paraded her curves in a white string bikini. And her bodyguard clearly not wanting to be left out wore some rather form-fitting black trunks as he kept a watchful eye on her. Quite what he was expecting to encounter while at sea is anybody’s guess. But as they lay side by side on the deck, there was little space for anyone to get in between them. Laying out on a towel on the front deck of the vessel, Scarlett was the centre of attention in her white Bond-style two-piece.  The Avengers star shielded her face from the sun with a visor and wore sunglasses over her eyes. The actress was joined by her hunky bodyguard and two female friends, and the group kept hydrated by sipping from water bottles.  As they sped out to sea, the foursome snapped away with their cameras, taking in the breathtaking views.

Scarlett is currently staying in Sicily to attend Dolce & Gabbana’s first-ever couture collection presentation during Haute Couture Fashion Week this evening. The Lost In Translation star is one the spokesmodel’s for the fashion label’s cosmetics line. She has held the role since 2009.
