According to data from the project The Numbers, Scarlett Johansson has become the highest-grossing actress in film history, surpassing Robert Downey Jr. and Samuel L. Jackson. This result was achieved thanks to the successful launch of the new installment of the «Jurassic World: Rebirth» franchise, which brought in $318 million in its first six days in theaters.

In the movie, Scarlett Johansson plays Zora Bennett – an expert in covert operations and a former soldier who joins a team heading to one of the few remaining dinosaur-inhabited islands.

Despite this achievement, Johansson’s acting in the film did not receive high praise in reviews from industry media. Moreover, the project was described as «a good movie when the characters are silent».

In total, films featuring her have grossed $14.8 billion worldwide, with the majority coming from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and her role as Black Widow – $8.7 billion.

As a reminder, this is not Johansson’s first time topping rankings. In 2018 and 2019, she was already named the highest-paid actress of the year by Forbes.

Scarlett Johansson is among those celebrities who lead a private life: she has no social media accounts, and she carefully shields her family from media and fan attention.

Recently, Hollywood’s highest-paid actress became the cover star of the latest issue of InStyle. The 40-year-old celebrity appeared on two covers of the magazine and took part in a stylish photoshoot, shot by Heather Hazzan.

In addition to the photographs, the magazine features an interview in which Scarlett Johansson explains why she keeps her children out of the public eye.

The actress is raising her 11-year-old daughter Rose from her previous marriage to journalist Romain Dauriac and her 3-year-old son Cosmo from her current husband, comedian Colin Jost.

According to Scarlett, she deliberately protects her children from media attention to ensure they have a happy childhood. The actress wants her son and daughter to grow up mentally healthy, well-rounded individuals with fond memories of their life with her.

«My children’s anonymity is something priceless to me. At first, fame seems like fun, but then you realize that you lose so much. Once you’re in the spotlight, there’s no way to turn back time», Johansson stated.

The actress also explained why she refuses to take photos with fans in her everyday life: «It upsets a lot of people, but I always say, «I’m not at work». That doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate my fans».

She clarified that she enjoys interacting with fans during official events but follows a golden rule: no work-related communication outside of work hours.

«Every public figure should have the ability to just be themselves, not a character from the screen 24 hours a day, seven days a week», the actress concluded.
