Scarlett Johansson’s First Paid Acting Gig Was On “Late Night” | Late Night with Conan O’Brien

[@wiidub9225]

You can really see the strength of Conan's talk show host skills here,he made this conversation interesting after a slow start

[@MichaelSTaylor]

3:51 From a cinematic perspective the pink underwear as a first impression was so important to the movie. I really enjoyed seeing the 6-minute featurette on the Blu-ray having Scarlet and Sophia both trying on dozens of pairs of pink underwear and the way they repeatedly zoomed in on each other from behind with each pair really speaks to the verite impressionism of the post avant-garde neorealism's impact on the structuralist purity of the film's opening scene. 90% of you have already left to buy the Blu-ray and completely skipped the word salad nonsense that followed. Sadly there is no such pink underwear featurette starring Scarlett and Sophia, but having an imagination is truly a beautiful thing. Please feel free to enjoy how that featurette might have looked in your mind's eye. You're welcome.

[@mojo9291]

@@Hoganply I love that for this films 20th anniversary last year in a live interview on HBO Max, it turns out that Scarlet and Sophia had actually read my comment here and decided to try on and model dozens of pairs of pink underwear "for the dedicated fans of our movie."

HER VOICE

[@RoninMilli]

She had a nose job that I think changed her nasally voice. And she had her teeth fixed up. Her voice was always deep. Her nose was always bigger. Those were the two things I always loved about her.

[@benenovak]

While all stars says they had a nose job to fix a deviated septum, she sounds like she may have actually had one

[@RoninMilli]

@ImperiumRomanum Yes if you actually have a nasal issue. My mom has a nose where she cannot breathe out of. It makes her voice deeper naturally. I had vocal cord surgery like Miley Cyrus did. Idk what she had but I had cysts removed and it made my voice deeper too. The nose has a lot of sinus cavities too. Just adjusting one can change your voice. The nose and mouth are connected.

[@RoninMilli]

@@benenovak Definitely agree. I've been a fan of hers since I was little. She always had a schnoz and not a nose. I got a big nose bc I'm Latina and I'm built like the girls from Encanto. It's why I respected her for being an actress who flaunted her nose. I do think she had a nose job to help her and not "fix" her looks. Because she has always been stunning.

[@riveraharper8166]

She has a flu or rough previous night here I think.

@@kb5509 it's just something that isn't usually done. In most shows or films older actors play younger people.
