Scarlett Johansson is known for speaking her heart out, and her actions prove that she doesn’t care about the world. She wears the outfits of Harvey Weinstein’s ex-wife when actors do not want to be linked with him or his family. And nobody can ever forget her take on Woody Allen amid s*xual abuse allegations. But do you know she once reviewed a successful Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise starrer and said she initially hated it? Scroll below for the interesting details!
As most know, Tom and Nicole are one of the most successful pairs in Hollywood. They fell in love on the Days Of Thunder (1990) sets, and their whirlwind romance made the top headlines in tabloids. They tied the knot in December of that year and became the ‘hit’ pair in many other films, including Far And Away (1992) and Eyes Wide Shut (1999). Their relationship ended in 2001, but the couple remains one of the favorite on-screen pairs even today.
Scarlett Johansson’s review of Eyes Wide Shut
In an interview with The Guardian in 2014, Scarlett Johansson shared, “I remember going to see Eyes Wide Shut and I saw it like three times in the theatre and the first time I saw it, I hated it. I had a visceral reaction to it I hated it so much. And then I was like, I have to see that movie again, I hated it so much. And then I loved it. I think in some ways I hated the emotional experience, it’s like a visceral reaction. There’s passion behind it. I can’t ever totally fault a film that I absolutely hate.”
