Scarlett Johansson: Parenting should be personal

Scarlett Johansson hates actors making a big deal out of parenting.

The ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ star gave birth to her daughter Rose – her first child with French husband Romania Dauriac – last September and will admit her life has changed a lot since becoming a mother.

Unlike many of her Hollywood peers, Scarlett won’t be making any  »grandiose statements » about her experience of motherhood because she doesn’t think it’s appropriate.

In an interview with Australian website News.com.au, she said:  »I always really hate it when actors or people in the spotlight make giant grandiose statements about parenthood because it’s so, so personal. »

Touching on the changes Rose has had to her working schedule and her home life, Scarlett – who splits her time between her homes in Paris and New York City – added:  »I have a greater responsibility now so that will definitely affect my schedule. Before (Rose), I just made the choices that were affecting me but now I’m responsible for somebody else.

 »Eventually I will have to work less and it might even make me more discerning. »

Although Scarlett believes there will come a time when she will have to work less because she’s a parent, at the moment the 30-year-old actress says her work has been inspired by seven-month-old Rose.

Scarlett – who returns as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow in Marvel movie ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ – explained:  »I think it will hopefully enrich my work as well as my understanding of myself. That’s the hope anyway, you never know. »
