Joyful Moments at Home with Cosmo and Colin Jost
At the London premiere of Jurassic World Rebirth on June 17, Scarlett Johansson gave fans a peek into the music that now fills her household. The actress shared how Chappell Roan’s songs are on repeat because of her son’s enthusiasm.

She revealed that her son’s favorite song has become her own, purely because it makes him happy and he sings it so frequently.

Johansson, who is also mom to Rose, 10, with her ex Romain Dauriac, candidly admitted just how much the song plays at home.

Life on Set: Bringing Family into the Spotlight
The acclaimed star has not hesitated to discuss how family life blends with the demands of film sets. While filming Jurassic World Rebirth, Scarlett enjoyed her family’s company, especially since the production coincided with summer, allowing for a mix of work and leisure in interesting locations. However, balancing schedules isn’t always simple. She’s learned that having Colin Jost and son Cosmo join her on location depends on timing and the family’s busy calendar.
“Sometimes I do [bring them], but at this stage I feel like unless everybody else is on vacation, it’s so disruptive to everybody’s schedules and I’m working all the time,”
—Scarlett Johansson, Actress
She contrasted the experience with a recent project, The Phoenician Scheme, where the opportunity for family travel was limited due to the intensive workload.
“When we were doing Jurassic World it was over the summertime, so I got to bring my family to a lot of fun locations. But this one, it’s so much about the work.”

Reflecting on working under director Wes Anderson for his latest film, she commented on the focused, immersive environment created on set, acknowledging that children—while beloved—can shift attention.
“Wes has created this whole environment that feels like a troop of actors and you’re kind of all dug in and focused. And kids can be distracting.”

Handling Hollywood and Cherishing Family Achievements
Recent months have been a whirlwind for Johansson, who not only led the season 50 finale of Saturday Night Live as its host—an honor she has relished seven times—but continued to balance professional highlights with her cherished role as a mother and partner.
“It felt like a runaway train and by the end the wheels and bottom were all falling off and it was crazy,”
—Scarlett Johansson, Actress
On taking in the magnitude of her experiences, especially during high-profile events like SNL, she spoke about the importance of stillness in the midst of excitement.
“It felt like a big blur, but you try to take your moments as you’re doing it to look around and appreciate the uniqueness of what you’re experiencing and how special it is.”
