From Child Star To Hollywood Icon

Scarlett Johansson underwent a massive change when she was 13, when her parents decided to separate. "At the time, it was difficult to understand why they did certain things," she explained to Elle. And as Johansson said on "Inside the Actors Studio," the divorce meant that the family ended up separating, too. Her mother moved to California, while she, her twin brother, and their father remained in New York.

In 2014, Johansson explained to Glamour that her twin, Hunter Johansson, was hugely helpful at the time. "My parents were on either coast, and our next older sibling is five years older than us and was in college," she recalled. "We had to stick together and be each other's constant in an environment that was really changing a lot." 

The divorce had a serious impact on Johansson as well. In 2019, she spoke to Vanity Fair about how she eventually drew on the painful time for her performance in "Marriage Story." Apparently, her parents' divorce provided more inspiration than her own experience, as at the time, she was going through her second divorce.
