Celebrities do not get much more A-List than Scarlett Johansson. She is an A+++ List movie star. In honor of her Birthday today, learn more about Scarlett Johansson below.
Scar Jo
Scarlett Johansson started acting professionally at age 9. She had her breakthrough role in 2003’s Lost in Translation. Her performance earned her critical acclaim, and the film is still one of her most memorable performances. Iron Man II would be Johansson’s introduction the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Her role of Black Widow has defined her career for the past 15 years.
Oscar Nominations
Marvel made Johannson one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood. In 2018 and 2019 she was named the highest paid actress in the world by Forbes. Johansson was able to take her bankability and take on roles in smaller films and projects. She would receive two Oscar Nominations for her performances in the 2019 films, Marriage Story, and Jojo Rabbit. Johansson is one of the most well respected actors in the industry.
Scarlett Johansson & Her Signature Reebok Line
Scarlett Johansson had her own signature line of sneakers and apparel with the sneaker and apparel manufacturer, Reebok. You probably forgot about Scarlett’s “Scarlett ‘Hearts’ Rbk” collection… and to be honest… so did I. But the collection did exist, honestly, it did.
Scar Jo & Reebok
In 2006 Scarlett Johansson signed a multi-million dollar deal to design and model clothing & apparel for Reebok. Signing an entertainer to endorse an apparel and sneaker line is common today, but in 2006, it was rare. So rare that Scarlett ‘Hearts’ Rbk might have been too far ahead of its time.
Scarlett Johansson was only 21 when she designed and modeled the collection, and she was not the movie star she is today. This was before Black Widow and The Avengers. Also, in 2006, athletes dominated the footwear game. Today, brands like adidas and its relationship with Kanye West has helped to change the role of non-athletes and their importance selling footwear and apparel. The collaboration between Reebok and Scar Jo did not get the support and success it needed to continue.
You may not remember it, but Scarlett Johansson and her Scarlett ‘Hearts’ Rbk collection were trailblazers in the sneaker world.
