Scarlett Johansson’s a proud mom of two, sharing daughter Rose Dorothy with ex Romain Dauriac and son Cosmo with SNL’s Colin Jost. She’s been at the parenting game for a while now, as her eldest daughter is already 11, but there’s one piece of advice that’s stuck with the actress as she’s worked at her career and her mom duties concurrently.
She told Sunday Morning that it all starts with her admitting having a work life balance is a myth. When she’s on a movie set, that’s her life. The hours are long, she’s often away on location when she’s filming a movie, and she’s not able to focus on her home life like she might want to. It doesn’t get easier at home. In between those roles, she also has a skincare line, has worked as a producer, and has pushed to direct movies like Eleanor the Great. All of this has led her to being the highest paid actress in Hollywood, but it comes with parenting downsides.
