Scarlett Johansson shares how she 'put away' excitement after 'Jurassic World' role

Scarlett Johansson recently shared how she landed the Jurassic World movie role. 

As per the latest report of Film News, the Black Widow star wanted to be a part of the franchise, and so she pitched herself to franchise creator Steven Spielberg. 

Instead of "playing it cool," the actress expressed her enthusiasm for depicting the titular role of the covert operations expert Zora Bennett in the next movie, Jurassic World: Rebirth.

Recalling this experience, the acting sensation told Hollywood Reporter, "I had a meeting with him and I don't actually know if he knew the depths of my Jurassic fandom, but I'm hoping that no one explained it to him too thoroughly because it maybe would've come off as being a little too much." 

She went on to note, "Although knowing Steven now, he was excited when I shared with how much it would mean to me to play any part in Jurassic. I could've played it cooler and maybe I wouldn't have gotten it."

In addition to this, the actress shared her two cents on actively expressing 

She further explained, "(The experience) taught me that if you are enthusiastic about a project, it is actually good to share your enthusiasm. You don't have to dumb it down or play it cool."

Referring to her feature directorial debut Eleanor the Great first, Scarlett mentioned, "I had to compartmentalise my nervous excitement for the job in front of me while also focusing on making it work." 

She joked in conclusion, "I would have these really geeked out, fangirl moments and then be, like, 'OK, put that away for a second.'"
