Scarlett Johansson has revealed that she felt lonely and in isolation after her harrowing divorce in an upcoming Netflix original Marriage Story.
Johansson who plays the character of Nicole, a once-famous actress who is soul-searching for a new identity after divorce with her husband, a renowned theatre director in New York.
The Avengers starlet said she feels a personal connect with this character as she herself went through a painful divorce while shooting for the film.
“I’ve felt in the past – there’s such a loneliness to being a single parent,” said Johansson.
She added, “Obviously, it’s a lot of many different things at once, but there can be a loneliness and this constant feeling of doubt, that you don’t know what the hell you’re doing and you don’t have anyone else to bounce it off of.”
Parenting solo brings a specific kind of isolation, she noted. “You’re also spending a lot of time alone with a child, without the company of another adult, which is hard for long periods of time. You maybe have doubts about your life: How did I get here? It’s not all the time … but those moments creep in, and they creep in at weird times.”
Meanwhile, Johansson will be tying the knot with Colin Jost in a dream wedding soon.

I honesty thought that film came off like a bad TV show! Am I the only one who didn’t think it was so great?
She’s a good actress and beautiful to look at, but I think she is very ugly and narcissistic on the inside. Some people just shouldn’t be parents, and I think she is one of those people.
