Scarlett Johansson on ‘Vulgar’ SNL Vagina Joke, Banning Fan Photos
Scarlett Johansson has finally opened up about the raunchy joke that Michael Che made her husband, Colin Jost, read live on air during a recent episode of “Saturday Night Live.” In an interview with InStyle magazine, Johansson expressed her shock and disbelief at the joke, calling it “so vulgar” and “old-school gross.”
The controversial joke took place during Jost and Che’s annual joke swap segment on the show’s Christmas episode. Che had Jost make a quip about Costco and Johansson’s vagina, which left the audience gasping and Johansson visibly shocked backstage.
Johansson revealed that she was given a heads up by producers before the episode that Che had written a “vagina joke,” but she was not prepared for the explicit nature of the punchline. She described the experience of being filmed backstage reacting to the joke as intense, saying she felt like she was going to faint.
While Johansson is comfortable with being filmed on set for “SNL,” she shared with InStyle that she has a strict policy of not taking photos with fans in public. She explained that she prefers to maintain her privacy and not be identified as being in a specific time and place with fans.
In terms of her public life, Johansson emphasized the importance of being in her own thoughts and not being self-conscious about others’ perceptions of her. She values her personal space and autonomy, especially when it comes to interactions with fans in public.
