- Being generous with her food on set.
Ultimate sharer!
[Scarlett laughs]
- I'm just a feeder.
[Scarlett laughing]
- Yeah, it's true, you would feed me.
[both laughing]
[gentle jazzy music]
- Florence and I first met at a rehearsal space.
- And there was so much build-up to the day
that we were gonna have a rehearsal
and the day that we were gonna meet each other.
I actually had just got off a flight two hours previous,
there was no time in the day for me
to have showered in my trailer.
So I remember just sitting there going,
"Oh my God, I'm gonna meet Scarlett Johansson,
and I'm smelly.
Great, fantastic." [Scarlett laughing]
- I was a little nervous because I was kind of geeked out.
- No. - I had been geeking out.
Let me tell my story. It's about you.
- Sorry, I just can't believe you were geeked out.
- It's about you, my friend.
I was a little intimidated really.
'Cause you were very grounded and in yourself
and there to do the work and everything.
And I'm just like, ooh.
- Everybody was like, "Okay, you ready to go over
and meet Scarlett?"
And I was like, "Yes. Oh no, there is so much pressure.
And what am I gonna say?"
And then we ended up tickling each other
in a trust exercise, and yeah, it was all good.
[Florence laughing]
[gentle jazzy music]
- I think part of it is generational a little bit.
I'm really so impressed by how curious Florence is
about herself and others, how confident she is,
but very humble and okay with like her vulnerability,
and okay to show like her soft underbelly
and all that stuff.
I was so much more guarded when I was, you know, starting,
you know, when I was in my twenties,
I was, you know, very sort of protective
in different ways I think because of,
you know, it was 10 years ago, it was another time.
And then that's also just part of her personality too,
she's just like an open book.
And I think I learned, you know,
to be probably a little easier on myself, you know,
I feel Florence every time I see her,
she's like, "Don't say that, that's not true."
[both laughing]
She's like, "don't say that about yourself,
that's not true," you know, whatever.
- Number one thing that I was just so impressed
and excited to join in with, was the fun that Scarlett
had on these big sequences.
Just, she'd always come in so happy
and doing like a little jig or for example,
there was a buggy that she would drive around the studios
and she put a big furry spider on it.
Just all these wonderful, [laughs]
silly things that would just keep days going.
I also think, one thing that I remember looking at
and feeling really impressed and excited
that I was in the room for,
was her ability to stop and rethink things.
I think it was a very powerful thing for me to see
as a young actress, looking at this woman
who has created this movie and its character
and her ability to actually pause
and rethink something that doesn't work.
Whereas I think a lot of the time,
especially when you're younger, I suppose,
I'm eager to please or get the job done
and be like, "yeah, yeah, sure, whatever."
And it was really cool to see this woman just pause a set
for a second and fix an issue and not worry
about however many people were saying,
"Come on, come on, we may as well just shoot it."
It was like Scarlet was taking control.
So yeah, that was a wonderful thing to learn and watch.
[gentle jazzy music]
[Florence humming]
Oh God, there's just way too many.
I'm doing it in capitals 'cause I mean it the most.
I think I spelled a word wrong, but here we go.
I got, beautiful rosy cheeks when she laughs.
- Mine says you have a smile that lights up the room.
- Oh, stop it.
Look at those, look at those rosy cheeks.
See what I'm saying, look what happens to her cheeks
when she laughs, they go all like up here and rosy.
Being generous with her food on set.
Ultimately sharer.
[Scarlett laughing]
- I'm just a feeder.
- Yeah, it's true, you would feed me.
[Florence chuckling]
- It's 'cause I was like, "You're eating the same salad?"
Florence has a crazy salad that she's obsessed with,
that she makes it every day. - I just loved,
I just loved making salads, and Scarlett was like,
"Here, have some of this garlic gazpacho,"
before we do a scene that's so close
that maybe instead of acting tears,
you could just smell each other's breath.
- Well, I didn't wanna be the only one,
that was actually just selfish for me,
'cause I didn't want to be
the only person with garlic breath.
Mine says you're a wonderful listener,
and that's a real gift for those around you.
- Aww. - You're a good listener.
It's true. - Yeah.
- Florence is a very compassionate person.
- When we were on the pole,
when we were hanging off the poles,
Scarlett went down for a wee and she came back
and she brought this tub of half baked cookies.
They weren't fully baked, they were half baked.
And we literally stood at the bottom of the pole
before we got heaved back up,
and just ate them with our bare fingers.
And it was just a mush
of amazing cookie dough/melted chocolate.
[Scarlett sighs]
And then we were about to go and do an intense fighting,
hanging off a pole scene.
[Scarlett laughing]
- They can now get into this harness.
- Priorities.
[both laughing]
- No bathroom breaks for three hours.
- Oh shucks, they don't fit.
[gentle jazzy music]
[Florence chuckling]
Yeah, excuse the face.
- You kind of look like an evil doll in mine.
- Oh great.
- You know, like real life.
- Great.
[both laughing]
- This is awful.
[paper tearing]
- Did you just rip it out?
And then I'm gonna give you a weird little hand
with a slice of pizza.
I'm gonna give you really long lashes.
- That's what you look like to me.
- Oh, yay.
- That's what you look like to me.
Giant eyeballs. - She's beautiful.
- Tiny nose, little smile.
I don't see your body. - Okay.
- I just see your beautiful smile.
- Well, I'll show this camera first.
I actually gave you like a piece of pizza.
- That's so good!
That's so good.
- I'll continue it and send it to you in the post.
[soft jazzy music]
- I learned that Florence is a master cartoonist.
I didn't know that before.
[Florence laughing]
- I learned that Scarlett fed me to give me garlic breath.
[both laughing]
I've learned a lot of things actually, from Scarlett today.
I didn't know how much she watched of me,
and it's been really lovely to hear
that she actually saw everything.
And that all the things that I remembered
as such massive moments in my memory
of "Black Widow" filming, was the same for her,
and that's really cool.
- Our shared experience.
- Yeah.
- Thanks, Glamour, for putting our friendship to the test.
[Florence chuckling]
