Scarlett Johansson Says Her Husband Has A ‘Naughty Side’
Johansson can’t just seem to get enough of her husband, Colin Jost, describing him as “kind,” “hilarious,” and “loving.”
However, she admitted that he can get mischievous at times as he has a “naughty side” that helps spice their marriage.
“He’s also got his naughty side, you know. That’s why he keeps it interesting,” Johansson said of the “Saturday Night Live” comic on “Live with Kelly and Mark” Tuesday, per Page Six.
Host Mark Consuelos then quizzed her about the Staten Island ferry that Jost bought alongside pal Pete Davidson in 2022, to which Johansson jokingly replied, “That’s the naughty part I was talking about.”
“It is, yep, still decommissioned,” she added.

The Actress Praised Her Husband For His Use Of The Staten Island Ferry
In her chat with Ripa and Consuelos, Johansson went on to heap praises on her husband for ingeniously using his pricey Staten Islan ferry.
In September, the boat was used as the site for Tommy Hilfiger’s New York Fashion Week show.
“Fashion people are coming on the Staten Island Ferry?” Johansson said of her initial reaction to the event. “I was like, ‘What’s happening with the bathrooms? Surely you renovated the bathrooms.’ And he was like, ‘No, I don’t actually know…'”
However, she recognized, “It was a big success, though.”
“Huge success, so if anybody has, like, a bat mitzvah they need to throw, yeah, please go to Rent-a-Ferry.com,” she joked. “It’ll really make our family happy.”

The actress talked about getting iPhones for her children: daughter Rose, 10, whom she shares with her ex-husband Romain Dauriac, and son Cosmo, 3, whom she shares with her husband, Colin Jost.
“I have a little guy who’s three, so he’s not on a phone. He’s into Legos,” Johansson said with a laugh, adding, “My daughter’s 10 and so there’s a lot of that pressure coming around now, especially if she’s hanging out with older girls.”
She added that “it’s hard for me to process” the idea of giving children phones.
