Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman bonded when they filmed alongside each other not too long ago. The collaboration was particularly helpful for Portman, who Johansson showed how to be a bit more comfortable with confrontations.
Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman worked together on ‘The Other Boleyn Girl’
Johansson and Portman first collaborated in the 2008 movie The Other Boleyn Girl. The movie was a historical romance film where Johansson and Portman played sisters both vying for the love and attention of a king. For Portman, Johansson was what drew her to the film in the first place.
“I read the script and loved it and came on as Anne. I said I only want to do it if Scarlett does it. I had watched her for so long, since we were kids, and she’s so true always, and so good. Like Scarlett was saying, you just never get the chance to work with someone your own age that you so admire. It was such a great, great chance,” Portman once said in an interview with Cinemablend.
Likewise, Johansson joined the project because of the Black Swan star’s involvement.
“A major part of why I joined the project, is because Natalie was involved. I’ve been a huge fan of Natalie’s for a long time, and I’ve always loved her choices and her performances. I’d never had the opportunity to work on such an even playing field with my peer. It was a great opportunity for both of us I think,” Johansson added.
