Scarlett Johansson gushes over 'funny' husband Colin Jost

Scarlett Johansson recently heaped praise for her husband Colin Jost's sense of humour. 

During a recent chat with Collider, the 40-year-old actress revealed why Colin Jost is the perfect partner for her.

"My husband's a comedy writer, and I couldn't imagine ever being with somebody who wasn't funny,” she began.

The Black Widow hitmaker also talked about her roots and declared that being funny is a prominent part of her personality.

"I grew up in a very funny household. My dad is Danish and has a very dry sense of humor, and my mom is Jewish, so that's culturally a big part of our identity,” she revealed.

“It's certainly a certain kind of humor, and growing up in New York, that's another layer of it, of course. So, I see the ironic humor, also, in terrible things," she joked before moving on to a new topic.

In the same chat, Scarlett, who is one of the highest paid actresses of Hollywood, expressed uncertainty over her career as director.

When asked if she wanted to direct in the long run, she said, "I don't know. I'm not sure. I guess we'll see.”

She also added, "My intention is to work on projects I would go and see, whether they're like 'Jurassic World' or this film.”

The audience-centric actress further explained, “The commerciality of things is also important to me, too. Would audiences want to see this, too? Is this generally interesting? Those are things I look for and focus on and care about. So, we’ll see, I guess."
