Scarlett Johansson has been happily married to Saturday Night Live Weekend Updates host Colin Jost since 2020. This is the star’s third marriage, and she seems absolutely in love with her husband, with whom she has a son, Cosmo.

Scarlett has been linked to many stars over the years and her ex-husband, Ryan Reynolds, is a household name himself.

Seeing how most of Scarlett’s romances have been with prominent stars, it would be easy to ᴀssume they were at some point her celebrity crushes. However, that would be the wrong thing to ᴀssume, as the actress revealed to Howard Stern on his show.

Howard Stern invited Scarlett Johansson to speak about a celebrity she found physically appealing on his show. She found the question funny because her celebrity crush wasn’t what the host (or many of her fans) expected.

“A physical appealing guy to me,” she said, appearing unsure what to say.

“Oh my gosh,” she continued. “That would be… I don’t mind being typical,’ she said in reaction to Howard Stern reᴀssuring her that she was allowed to be “typical” in her preference.

Howard Stern reiterated the question as Scarlett seemed hard-pressed or unwilling to come up with a straight answer.

“If I said to you, I could put you in a movie with so-and-so, who would it be?” he asked.

“Honestly, I’m like somebody who likes Gordon Ramsay, I’m like the last person…” Scarlett admitted, bursting into laughter.

This shocked Howard Stern for a minute, but he quickly recovered, quipping that if Scarlett liked Gordon Ramsay, he probably also had a sH๏τ with her.

His pᴀss at Scarlett only added to her hilarity and she dissolved in giggles. Yet, he still couldn’t believe her choice.

“You mean physically, that’s the kind of guy you would want to be with?” he asked in disbelief again.

Scarlett reaffirmed her crush on the celebrity chef despite Stern’s disbelief in her choice.

Fans found Scarlett’s choice less difficult to believe than Howard Stern did. Most agree that Gordon Ramsay has great charisma and is an easy celebrity crush to pick.

Before her marriage to Colin Jost, Scarlett was married to Ryan Reynolds and, later, Romain Dauriac. Both those marriages ended in divorce, and while Scarlett’s separation from Ryan Reynolds was straightforward, her divorce from Romain Dauriac was more difficult because they share a daughter.

However, Scarlett and Romain Dauriac are working together to co-parent Rose and their relationship is better after the divorce.

Nevertheless, neither Ryan Reynolds nor Romain Dauriac is similar to Gordon Ramsay in any way physically, which makes Howard Stern’s reaction to her confession about Gordon understandable.

What’s more, none of the men Scarlett has dated are similar to the foul-mouthed yet talented Brit. Scarlett was rumored to have dated a number of celebrities over the years, including Jared Leto, Josh Harnett, and Justin Timberlake.

None of these stars are physically similar to Gordon Ramsay in any way and that makes Scarlett’s revelation to Howard Stern more shocking.

However, another shocker in her interview with Stern was that Scarlett wasn’t put off by the fact that he asked her personal questions about her crush that he doesn’t usually ask male guests.

In the past, Scarlett has reacted poorly to being asked personal questions by unprofessional reporters.

After Scarlett Johansson made her debut in the MCU as Black Widow, she probably expected her interviewers to concentrate on her part and acting, rather than her costume.

However, she quickly found out that reporters seemed obsessed with her costume and what she wore underneath it.

On one occasion, Scarlett lost her cool when a reporter asked her about her Black Widow costume and refused to answer the personal and highly inappropriate question.

She told the reporter off and refused to entertain his obsession with her clothes.

“You’re like the fifth person that’s asked me that today. What is going on? Since when do people start asking each other in interviews about their underwear?” she asked the interviewer, clearly annoyed.

“I’ll leave it up to your imagination. Whatever you feel like I should be wearing or not wearing under that costume,” she said, refusing to continue the line of questioning.

As Scarlett was concerned fans weren’t going to like how she portrayed Black Widow, it is understandable that talking about how тιԍнт her costume was and what she was wearing underneath it wasn’t something she was interested in.

However, her interview with Howard Stern didn’t deal with serious topics like her acting or portrayal of a particular character, so it’s understandable that Scarlett was relaxed enough not to mind his question.
