Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson have had a strong on-screen presence in various films. The two A-list actors have brought their versatility in multiple films, including the 2011’s We Bought a Zoo. Damon starred as Benjamin Mee, a widowed father who buys a rundown zoo in hopes of starting fresh with his children while Johansson’s Kelly Foster, the zookeeper, helps Benjamin navigate the challenges of restoring the zoo. While their on-screen chemistry was natural, there was an incident that didn’t quite go the way the viewers might expect.
In a throwback interview for LADbible TV, Damon opened up about an intimate scene with Johansson for a dramedy film for which the actress wasn’t prepared. The Oppenheimer actor shared with co-star Emily Blunt, “We went to lunch and she and I both thought [filming the kissing scene] was over and she ate, like, an onion sandwich. And she came in and [director] Cameron Crowe had set the camera up and it was, like, a tight shot of the kiss.”
Damon continued, “And she goes ‘Aw s—! I literally just had – I had, like, an onion sandwich.’” The topic of kissing co-stars came up when Blunt and Damon questioned whether you should tell someone if they have bad breath.
