Scarlett Johansson Talks Being a Wife & Mother in 'Parade'

Scarlett Johansson is all smiles on the cover of Parade magazine‘s latest issue, on newsstands this Sunday.

Here is what the 30-year-old Avengers: Age of Ultron actress had to share with the mag:

On her marriage to art curator Romain Dauriac: “[Marriage] takes a lot of work. It takes a man who’s not only confident in the love that you have for one another, but confident in what he has going on in his own career. He has to be in a field that’s completely different from yours. My husband’s also involved in art. What’s important to him is the recognition that he gets from his job, and that has nothing to do with my job.”

On the couple’s shared interests, despite being in different fields: “We like to go out and go dancing. Other times, we like to sit at home and eat Thai food and watch House Hunters International for four hours. And we’re interested in each other’s worlds. He’s interested in my weird alien entertainment world. It fascinates him because it’s so different than what he knows. And I like to go to art openings with him and talk about art and emerging artists with him. That’s his passion.”

On her new role as mom to daughter Dorothy: “The biggest joy that I have is looking at my daughter. When I’m just hanging out with her and we’re doing silly stuff and if I make her laugh, the feeling of joy I have is explosive..If only you could actually bottle that and carry it around.”
