Scarlett Johansson Defends Woody Allen: 'I Believe Him' & 'Would Work With Him Anytime'
Scarlett Johansson is on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter‘s new issue.
Here’s what the 34-year-old actress had to share with the mag…
On the allegations against Woody Allen: “I love Woody. I believe him, and I would work with him anytime. I see Woody whenever I can, and I have had a lot of conversations with him about it. I have been very direct with him, and he’s very direct with me. He maintains his innocence, and I believe him.” (FYI: Scarlett worked with the director in Match Point (2005), Scoop (2006) and Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008).)
On supporting Woody during the #MeToo movement: “It’s hard because it’s a time where people are very fired up, and understandably. Things needed to be stirred up, and so people have a lot of passion and a lot of strong feelings and are angry, and rightfully so. It’s an intense time.”
On being an awards contender for Marriage Story: “I haven’t really been involved in the mix of awards season for a long time, so I’m not sure how I feel exactly. Maybe a little out of my element?”
