Today, the charming actress may be off the market, but she's previously dated some of the most eligible actors in Hollywood.
7. JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE ACCIDENTALLY SWEPT SCARLETT OFF HER FEET
If we remember correctly, Justin and Scarlett made a video together, and the shiny community of Hollywood has been abuzz with some crazy speculation about their platonic-non-platonic romance ever since. The two were never in an actual relationship, but people were super curious to find out whether there was something more curious going on between them.
The high-profile actress appeared in the music video for "What Goes Around/Comes Around," which features some passionate scenes between Justin and Scarlett. When the cameras were no longer rolling, the two were spotted cozying up to one another.
The pair in question was also spotted hanging out together at NYC hotspot, and according to US Weekly, Scarlett was all focused on the famous singer. The two had a wonderful time together as they grabbed a pizza and partied until the wee hours of the night. “Other guys were trying to talk with Scarlett, but she was only focused on Justin."
6. JOSH HARNETT WAS SHOWN THE DOOR AS WELL. OUCH!
Aren't they sweet, right? Well, these two first met in 2006, and it instantly triggered speculation about their romance. Even though Scarlett is often quite reluctant to address such news, she eventually confirmed that they were a pair at the time. For a quick chat with Allure, the talented actress admitted that she fell for him because he's a pretty nice guy and a great person.
This otherwise charming couple couldn't find a way to make it all work, despite their extensive tantric sessions together. The Lost in Translation star might have thought that he's a real sweetheart, but it turns out that this is hardly enough for an attractive A-lister, like Scarlett Johansson. Her ex, Josh Harnett, told Glamour that they really tried to keep the spark alive, but they failed at that. Maybe their busy schedules also took a toll on their young love.
“Josh is very sweet. He’s a good boy. A great person. I’m very lucky and I’m very happy." There's no doubt that Josh really looks like a nice guy, but even his charming nature couldn't fix their relationship issues. Eventually, the couple broke up only after a year of dating.
5. PATRICK WILSON AND SCARLETT DATED WHEN SHE WAS YOUNG
Scarlett Johansson had a fling with Angels in America star, Patrick Wilson, but they never really became an official pair. A few years ago, Scarlett and Patrick were spotted together shortly after the actress called it quits with the frontman of 30 Seconds to Mars, Jared Leto. Traditionally, Scarlett isn't the type of woman who'd cry her eyes out because it's over. But what actually bugged the online community was the fact that Scarlett was only 19 years old when she dated Patrick Wilson, who was about 30 back then.
At the time, a source close to PEOPLE broke the news by saying that the two were dating, but it wasn't really such a big deal. Besides, Scarlett isn't exactly a stranger to such melodrama, revolving around men who are twice her age anyway.
Scarlett Johansson is often described as quite a diva, with an extensive experience in the dating department. Also, the stunning actress had previously broken so many hearts in and outside of Hollywood that it certainly made her quite a dangerous woman. The 33-year-old beauty even shared that she may be having a hard time being with one person forever. “I don’t think it’s natural to be a monogamous person.”
4. BENICIO DEL TORO AND THAT LEGENDARY ELEVATOR STORY
Following a glamorous 2004 Oscars after-party, the two might have actually made out in an elevator of the Chateau Marmont. It’s indeed a bizarre story, but it’s been neither denied nor completely confirmed by both parties. During an interview with Allure in 2004, the charismatic actress admitted that they actually made out in this legendary elevator. Of course, they were never an official couple or anything of the sort, but they obviously enjoy cozying up to one another in such odd places.
Speaking of the guy, Del Toro’s version of the story didn’t really make much sense when he refused to deny the story. During his conversation with Esquire in 2005, Del Toro decided to tease us all by saying the following: “Did I make out in an elevator with Scarlett Johansson after an awards show? I kind of like, you know…I…well….I don’t know. Let’s have that to somebody’s imagination. Let’s not promote it. I’m sure it has happened before. It might not be the last time either." Frankly, everything he said came across as a pretty weird explanation.
3. RYAN REYNOLDS AND SCARLETT'S MARRIAGE WAS A BIG MISTAKE
There's barely anyone who doesn't know about Scarlett's brief marriage to Ryan Reynolds. The two first met in 2007, and only after a year, they were already one of Hollywood's high-profile pairs. The handsome and mega-talented actor might have thought that he was the luckiest guy ever, but things quickly took a turn for the worse. Lost in Translation actress once confessed that "the logistics of being with another actor are challenging." Well, it must have been quite the challenge for them to stick through thick and thin because their marriage lasted only three years.
"There has to be a real understanding of how you share your time, especially when two people's careers are going at the same rate. Or even if one person is more successful than the other, that also proves to be quite challenging. There may be a competitive thing.”
Apparently, Scarlett and Ryan weren't made for one another, and they soon realized that they would never last as a celeb couple. It may sound pretty bad, but it's really such a good thing that they broke up before wasting each other's young years.
2. WHEN DID SHE GET TOGETHER WITH DEREK JETER?
It's true— most high-profile actresses are crazy about athletes, and Derek Jeter is certainly a fine example of that. As one of the most attractive guys in the sports department, Derek has also caught the eye of Scarlett Johansson. The two made quite an exotic pair since both parties are super attractive and famous for not really committing to serious relationships. Besides, Derek had made a name for himself as a playboy in sports, so it was a bit odd that she went anywhere near the star. But anyway, if she wanted a fling, she definitely got one without hurting anyone's feelings.
The two stars were spotted together at the famous, 2004 Microsoft Christmas party, and according to NYDW, Johansson was about 20 years old when she dated the sports star. Even though they kept it cool, the two were quite close as they even appeared to be flirting with one another. With so many guys in her life, it must be quite hard for Johansson to settle down with somebody serious. Well, hopefully, Scarlett Johansson has changed a lot since her youth and will never make the same mistake with Colin.
1. BRADLEY COOPER WAS COMPELLED BY SCARLETT'S BEAUTY
If there's somebody who's a bigger player than Scarlett Johansson, it's none other than the handsome, Bradley Cooper. This guy has been linked to many gorgeous actresses so keeping Scarlett's name out of the list would be a bit disrespectful. Bradley Cooper and Scarlett were seen dining at Bel Air restaurant, and an eyewitness told Glamour that the pair had intense chemistry as they enjoyed their dinner. It was clear that there was something more going on between them. At one point, the two engaged in witty banter and seemed to be relishing every second of their dinner date. Although there's nothing wrong with sharing an evening with a fellow actor, Scarlett's dining experiences often end up in her bedroom.
"They seemed very comfortable together, and it was pretty obvious they are into each other. Bradley seemed almost distracted by Scarlett's beauty, especially since she was wearing a very low cut dress, and Scarlett was totally working her charms. They were definitely having more than a 'friends' dinner, it seemed pretty obvious that they totally have the hots for each other."
