Hello.
Hi, Scarlett.
Hi.
Well--
Hi.
[CHEERING]
I think we were all very impressed by that fighting.
That was--
As was I.
Yeah.
Now, had you ever trained?
What is that?
What kind of martial arts is that?
That's just like a kick ass form of martial--
Kick ass form.
Yeah, something like that.
Yes.
Oh, it goes back--
That's the technical--
The ancient kick ass form.
Right.
Yes, yes, yes.
For 5,000 years.
And so you had not done training before?
Or had you?
I'd never trained in martial arts before,
so that was a whole new ball of wax for me.
I had to--
I spent many, many a month just failing a lot
and then eventually succeeding.
But the failures are all incredibly painful.
But that's pretty impressive, that you did that yourself.
Yes.
Actually, I did it myself.
And also, this incredible gymnast and stuntwoman
named Heidi Moneymaker.
That's her actual--
Don't give it away!
--name.
Don't give it away!
I have to.
I have to!
Heidi what?
Heidi Moneymaker.
Can you believe that?
Yeah, and she is.
She is.
And we basically shadowed each other for five months
and were able to just start and finish and be
like a seamless person.
And it was intense.
It was intense.
But you just kind of--
I think if you foolishly believe that you can do it, you do it.
And then you capture it on film.
And then you never have to do it again.
Well, doesn't it make you want to do it again, though?
I think that--
I'm hoping so.
I mean, this character has a 40-plus year legacy,
and she's beloved by many fans.
So I'm hoping to be able to bring
her back in another installment or possibly
in Avengers or something like that.
But I'm not-- I'm sort of dreading the training
but looking forward to it at the same time.
But to be on a movie set, is it more
invigorating to do scenes like that instead of just dialogue?
Does it keep you awake more?
Or does it exhaust you more to do that and dialogue?
It's funny.
It's almost like you're doing two
completely different movies.
And I really enjoyed both of them.
And coming in to do this stunt work was like, by the way,
this is what we've been working on for the past five months.
And being able to do it with the crew there was pretty exciting.
Yeah.
I can't wait to see it.
I mean, I loved the first movie.
And it's just so-- especially, you just see what that is
and that fight sequence.
And then you walk away and you just mace somebody in the face
after all that.
Yeah, that's the icing on the cake.
Yeah.
That's like, you don't have to do anything.
It's just--
It took months to do that.
Yeah.
What are you talking about?
To get it just right.
Very cool.
Well, I bet it did, if they're not lined up exactly.
And congratulations for being one
of the most Beautiful People in People magazine.
Oh, thank you.
Here you are.
Thank you.
[CHEERING]
Thanks.
It makes sense!
What makes you feel pretty?
Now, when they ask you what makes you feel pretty,
you said "sandwiches and red lipstick."
[LAUGHTER]
Yes.
[LAUGHTER]
Ooh, sandwiches!
And my Cover Girl red lipstick, also.
Why, thank you.
Thank you so much.
Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and red lipstick.
I must have-- I think I was probably eating a sandwich when
I gave that answer.
When you said it?
Yeah.
You didn't feel like thinking.
No, that's exactly what happened.
Right.
But now, I feel foolish.
Oh, no.
Now, don't.
Now, this looks incredible.
Thank you.
And on whole wheat bread.
How health conscious you are.
Now, when you-- yes, I am.
And I heard that--
I saw the picture of you on the red carpet,
and everybody was talking about how stunning you looked.
And you're nervous for things like that.
Is that what I read?
Well, it's not that the getting ready part makes--
I mean, I like the getting ready part.
I like to get--
I like the hair and the makeup and the pretty dress.
And do you want me to apply this, or--
No, no, I don't.
OK.
[LAUGHS]
I'm going to take both of these away.
Oh.
[LAUGHS]
But I know.
I like the getting ready part.
It's just getting on that red carpet,
I just instantly flop sweat, and--
Really?
Yeah, totally.
Just to get your picture taken?
Instantly.
Like, that's something that I do to get my picture taken?
No, no, no.
That makes you flop sweat, just knowing
you're going to get your picture taken?
I don't know.
It's just an inst--
it's a weird chemical reaction I have somehow to the red carpet.
I don't know what it is.
Wow.
Maybe it's just the carpet itself.
I don't know.
Maybe if it was a different color.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Maybe we should have had a green carpet.
I don't know.
But it--
More so than singing, when you when you sing publicly?
No, I flop sweat then, too, actually.
Oh, really?
Yeah, maybe it's just some sort of--
I probably need a shot to stop that.
I don't know.
Isn't there something you could do?
Well, maybe you have a perspiration problem.
[LAUGHTER]
Maybe we'll find--
And now, everybody--
--that out.
--knows.
Well--
Thank you.
--you're welcome.
Thank you.
Yes.
Yes, I do.
Well, you made me look like a fool.
So I'll get you.
[LAUGHTER]
Ah.
When you were--
I just said that.
When--
[LAUGHTER]
No, I--
Do you want me to eat one?
Would it make you feel better?
No, no, no, no, don't.
OK.
Let's go to congratulating you on something.
[LAUGHTER]
You just got nominated for Tony.
I was, yes.
Yeah, congratulations.
Thanks you.
[CHEERING]
Thank you.
[LAUGHS]
I don't know what's wrong with me.
That was a seamless transition there.
Thank you.
With editing, no one will ever know.
And then you also went to-- when was this?
It was last weekend, the White course--
the Correspondents' Dinner?
Yes.
The White-- I don't know what it's called.
The White House Correspondents' Dinner.
Right?
Yes, it was actually--
[LAUGHTER]
You want to ask that again?
No, we'll just let you say it.
The White House Correspondents' Dinner.
Yeah, I went there last week.
And my twin brother and I were-- he was my date,
and it was really a lot of fun.
Have you ever been before?
I have.
Years ago, I went.
Yeah.
Oh, you did?
Years ago?
Yeah.
It probably wasn't as good, was it?
No.
[LAUGHTER]
No, years and years ago.
Oh, years and years ago?
So it was really good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, because it was good.
It was good.
Yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah.
No, it was back then.
[APPLAUSE]
I had a great time.
I was really--
I was kind of--
it was like a prom night but with Chris Matthews
and the attorney general.
It was just-- it was--
Everybody in the world is there.
Everybody in the world was there.
It was incredible.
And I passed by Rosario Dawson, and she
was wearing a corsage, which I thought was brilliant.
That's hilarious.
I don't know.
It's a perfect added touch.
But it was like the Golden Globes on steroids.
It was unbelievable.
I've never seen anything like it.
Yeah.
It's a very cool--
The Golden Globes on steroids.
I don't know if that's ever--
If that's possible.
That's redundant, almost.
[LAUGHTER]
We have to take a break.
[LAUGHTER]
We're back with Scarlett Johansson.
Here she is, on the cover with her new baby.
And--
Isn't he a sweetie?
Yeah.
No, that's not you.
[LAUGHTER]
So--
[LAUGHTER]
So--
A little bundle.
How long--
--bundle of joy.
Your little bundle of joy.
[LAUGHS]
How long have you and Ryan, the adorable Ryan
Reynolds, been married?
We have been married--
how long have we been married?
A year and a half.
Year and a half.
And you're a cute couple.
[CHEERING]
He's also in here, right?
Thank you.
I think he may also be a beautiful person.
He's a beautiful person.
You're a beautiful--
I think so.
--person.
It's so good that you're both beautiful together.
Yes.
[LAUGHTER]
Because it's sad when there's just one beautiful person.
It is.
It's like the diamond in the setting.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
And how is married life?
Are you enjoying it?
Yeah, everything's great.
So far, so good.
We're both working a lot, so that's--
But do you get to--
--that's a little bit--
--spend a lot--
--of a chal--
--off time together, or--
We spend as much time--
you just-- you know how you do it when
you're in a relationship and you're both working, and--
[BUZZES]
Whoo!
[LAUGHTER]
What's wrong with us?
[CHEERING]
What's wrong with--
Oh, no!
You can't do that on television.
That's great.
What was that?
Did I say a buzz word, or--
No.
[LAUGHTER]
But that's a good idea.
I'm terrified.
That's actually-- you gave us a good idea.
I just clammed up now.
Yeah.
I don't know what else is going to come at me.
Yeah.
No, we're done.
It's like a water cockroach.
It was a decoy to get the bee out here.
Oh, god.
That's all.
You're free.
Oh, thank god.
All right.
Iron Man 2--
[LAUGHTER]
Ah.
That's not fair.
And then we just discard her.
That's not right.
[LAUGHTER]
Do you want to talk about anything else?
[LAUGHS] I don't know.
What would you like?
Is it Cinco de Mayo today?
Yeah.
Was that yesterday?
[CHEERING]
They love that.
Cinco de Mayo.
[CHEERING]
How do they know us?
They're crazy.
They're crazy for Cinco de Mayo.
People are crazy for Cinco de Mayo.
They're loco for Cinco de Mayo.
[CHEERING]
All right.
Well, you really are a very talented human being.
You're a really brilliant actress--
Thank you.
--and an amazing singer.
The last time you were here with Pete Yorn, I just was--
if you don't have their album, Pete Yorn and Scarlett--
it really is just--
I just love that--
Thank you.
--album so much!
It's very exciting for us.
We actually just went platinum in France,
which, to me, is like, we're like the David Hasselhoff of--
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
[LAUGHS]
No.
It's very exciting.
And we're hoping to do a couple of shows in New York
and maybe out here.
But it's just-- it was it's totally unexpected
and such a lovely surprise for both of us.
It's amazing.
You're extremely talented, and you should come back.
And really, she has such a great voice.
Thank you.
You're so talented.
Iron Man 2--
Thank you.
--opens in theaters this Friday.
We'll be right back.
Thank you.
