Scarlett Johansson Details Bond With Twin Brother Hunter Johansson

by

Scarlett Johansson is living her childhood dreams in more ways than one. 

At the premiere of “Jurassic World: Rebirth,” the actress revealed that her family – parents Karsten Johansson and Melanie Sloan, as well as siblings Christian, Adrian, Vanessa, Hunter, and Fenan – attended to show their support. Among them, twin brother Hunter displayed the most excitement.

Scarlett shared with TopMob News during an exclusive chat that he was undoubtedly the most vocal audience member. She had anticipated this, given his deep-seated passion for Jurassic, which was evident as he was eagerly anticipating it.

Indeed, Hunter was present to back up his sister Scarlett, who asserted that he would’ve attended regardless, as he’s an enthusiast of the movie and its action is so thrilling. In fact, he was arranging the John Williams music, and was quite boisterous about it. (Stay tuned for more from Scarlett and her co-stars on TopMob News tonight, June 26, at 11 p.m.)

But Scarlett, 40, was particularly touched by the moment. 

She shared that it was an incredibly enjoyable experience for them as they watched a movie together at the cinema when they were around nine or ten years old. Now, they’re reliving a full-circle moment, and it feels almost surreal.

Indeed, the actress from “The Nanny Diaries” – mother to 10-year-old Rose (with ex Romain Dauriac) and 3-year-old Cosmo (with husband Colin Jost) – mentioned that there were numerous instances on set that seemed like a cherished childhood dream coming true.

On our very first workday, we found ourselves in Krabi, Thailand. From there, a series of cars and boats took us to this remote island where we were filming. By the time we reached that narrow jungle trail leading to the beach, I couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow, it’s just like being in Jurassic Park!” The scene has been etched vividly in my mind ever since.

Simultaneously, Jonathan Bailey, Scarlett’s co-star, expressed delight about his family’s attendance at the movie’s London debut, especially his scientific sister who watched him portray Dr. Henry Loomis.

At the London debut, his sibling works as a genetic counselor for the NHS. He clarified, “In the movie, my character states, ‘Science belongs to everyone,’ which made her visibly emotional, almost to the point of tears.

In his own words, “You recall the significance of this movie, encompassing its various themes along with the excitement and peaks it offers. The Jurassic films truly have an emotional core.

Audience members will get a firsthand look at the action when “Jurassic World: Rebirth” premieres in cinemas on July 2. Until then, continue reading for additional insights about Scarlett and Hunter, as well as other notable celebrity twins.

At birth, Ashton tipped the scales at 10.5 pounds, while his unexpected arrival five minutes later, Michael, who had left his parents in anticipation of a son, weighed only 4 pounds. “People often joke that he must have consumed everything during our time together in the womb,” Michael, who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at three and underwent a heart transplant at thirteen, shared with the Associated Press in 2012.

However, the activist and parent of three ultimately found forgiveness towards Ashton – not only for his overindulgent eating habits but also for disclosing Michael’s medical situation many years prior in a public interview.

Michael shared that he felt extremely upset, extremely upset indeed. He recalled having a conversation with him regarding this matter back in May, as reported to TODAY Parents. At first, he didn’t want his experiences with CP (Cerebral Palsy) to define him, choosing not to discuss it. However, he eventually came to see that Chris (Ashton’s actual first name), in a remarkable way, had done him the greatest kindness by enabling him to express himself authentically.

In a conversation with TODAY Parents, the star of That ’70s Show shared, “My brother’s daily behaviors teach me that life isn’t just about confronting obstacles—it’s about powering through them. Mike displays an unyielding determination and profound empathy for others.

In 2015, Hunter shared with Parade that there aren’t many occasions where his sister can freely roam without being identified. He pointed out that they lived quite ordinary city lives in New York alongside their two older siblings, growing up. When such unusual instances arise, he reflects on a time before her fame, when we were just kids. This moment brings back memories he cherishes deeply. He considers his sister as his other half, and nothing is more valuable to him than our shared bond as twins.

Scarlett expresses her strong bond with her activist brother, who was then engaged in rebuilding homes following Hurricane Sandy at a nonprofit organization. She states, “I have a deep sense of kinship with him. He is truly an individual with a heart of gold. I believe many people search their entire lives for a companion, someone to serve as a reflection, to remind them they’ve lived. My twin brother has always been that mirror for me.

Yes, you might have occasionally swapped roles with each other throughout the years. It’s worth mentioning that Sami, who is only four minutes younger than you, is now a teacher. However, as children, we did get up to some mischief according to Rami, who shared this on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Over time, they have become less alike in appearance.

Fortunately, instead of exhibiting typical bad-boy behavior, Rami once enacted a monologue from a Greek tragedy as an impromptu performance for his unsuspecting brother during class one day.

Sami, who was close to graduation but lacked a few units, had told the actor that he would help him earn the necessary points for his degree. According to Rami’s account of what happened, after receiving applause that piqued the teacher’s curiosity, she approached him privately and asked, “‘Where did you acquire such skills?'” To which he responded, “‘Oh, it’s just something I do for fun.’

She inquired whether he could play an extra piece for her upcoming lesson, yet he politely declined, explaining that he was illegally parked in a red zone and needed to leave immediately.

2020 marked the 40th year of life for both Pati and Gisele, a pair of twins who are fortunate to have shared this incredible planet for four decades! Overjoyed at the milestone, Gisele expressed her gratitude for being born with her cherished twin and best friend on Instagram.

Since Mark Sinclair chose a flamboyant stage name, it’s been relatively straightforward for Paul to fly under the limelight unnoticed.

Discussing a photograph featuring his genuine sibling alongside the deceased Paul Walker (the co-star whom Vin affectionately nicknamed “Pablo” and who came to feel like a brother to him), the actor clarified during a 2015 Facebook live broadcast, as reported by MTV News, “It’s important to mention that the other person in the picture is also named Paul…and despite their distinct appearances, he is indeed my twin brother.

Expressing his joy on his sister’s 17th birthday in October 2021, the actor from Stranger Things referred to her as “the ideal twin any brother could hope for.” He continued, “To us for many more shared years!

Marissa revealed on the podcast ‘Proper Talk by Tonje’ in May 2021 that she has a twin brother, which means I’ve never lacked confidence throughout my life because I’ve always had him. Additionally, my younger sister and I were very close, making our family incredibly tight-knit. As a result, I didn’t experience much friendship turmoil. If I did, I would simply distance myself and find solace in the security of my family, which was always paramount to me.

As a dedicated follower, I’m proud to have been part of the cinematic journey shared with Giovanni, where our collaborative efforts resulted in not just movies but family endeavors. The films we made together, “Some Girl” from 1998 and “According to Spencer” in 2001, were special because they were co-written by Marissa and had the valuable input of her mom, Gay Ribisi, as a producer. Furthermore, I had the privilege of appearing in Giovanni’s Netflix series, “On the Verge,” during these pandemic times. This ensemble dramedy was masterfully created by Julie Delpy.

Introducing the twin brother of the Euphoria actor: Jaden! In a message from 2018, Javon wrote, “Nothing can separate us, JDub.” While Javon delves into acting, it seems that Jaden has a passion for sports, frequently posting photos with Onward Athletics Baseball on his Instagram.

In 2016, Joseph explained to The Guardian that while he and his brother aren’t identical twins, it doesn’t diminish their bond significantly. He went on to say that since they shared a bedroom, birthdays, and womb, there’s an inherent connection between them. This link is distinct from the one he shares with his other siblings. Interestingly, Jacob, his twin, is a conservationist.

Jacob, a renowned figure in land management from England, was featured in the New Yorker magazine in 2020. The article described the Fiennes as one of Britain’s most famous artistic and unconventional families.

The twins are the youngest of six siblings, the eldest being Oscar nominee Ralph Fiennes.

In the episode “The Replacement” of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Xander required a look-alike, and Nicholas just happened to have a suitable stand-in – his very own identical twin.

“He pays me $200 a week to sign autographs,” Kelly quipped to People in 1999.

FYI, both brothers go by their real first and middle names, and their last name is Schultz.

In the 1988 thriller “Dead Ringers,” the duo shared their first film appearance, portraying identical twin prostitutes. However, it was only Jill who chose to pursue a career in acting.

In 2009, the actress from Crossing Jordan expressed regret on Jacqueline’s behalf, stating that she doesn’t wish to expose her to the chaos of my life as she has unintentionally become a target simply for resembling me. She is frequently followed by individuals who don’t accept that she isn’t my twin. Polite as she is, she often clarifies, “I’m Jaq, her sister,” but they assume she’s lying. They believe it’s actually Jill Hennessy being rude! People have yelled at her and walked away angrily, and I feel it’s my fault.

Jill added, “She’s a renowned author and TV news personality based in Toronto, and she’s widely recognized across Canada. I can’t help but feel empathetic when I learn about people who might have lost touch with reality and directed their frustration towards her. It’s challenging not to take it personally and question my role somehow.

In 1996, Jacqueline temporarily took over some of Claire Kincaid’s courtroom scenes on “Law & Order”, as Jill was unavailable in Baltimore, where she was portraying Claire for a joint NBC event with “Homicide: Life on the Street”.

In any life conundrum I find myself grappling with, it’s my brother who I rush to seek advice from, and he never falters in telling me the raw truth. Back in 2015, I shared this sentiment on TODAY about the opera singer and composer we both admire. He serves as a beacon of honesty and a moral guide for me in countless aspects. His unwavering support has been nothing short of extraordinary, and his artistic prowess is truly exceptional.

As your trusted lifestyle advisor, I once stepped into a captivating role on the hit series “Orange Is the New Black,” portraying a character that was my sister in flashback scenes. This was before the transformation of Marcus into Sophia, adding depth and intrigue to the storyline.

In an interview with HuffPost Live in 2013, Laverne mentioned that our casting director discovered I have a twin brother. She was adamant that he should try out for the role, so he did. And guess what? He landed the part!

On the 2020 documentary series “Becoming“, fashion designer Charlotte described her DJ sister as someone they were very close with, who was full of smiles and outgoing. In contrast, Charlotte portrayed herself as more reserved and serious.

In 2008, their older brother and musician Mark Ronson joked to Harper’s Bazaar, taking into account their hectic schedules, “Even on the most sacred Jewish holidays, we don’t gather as a whole family. However, we make individual time with each other whenever possible.

In a casual conversation back in 2016 with The Guardian, I remarked about Joy’s journey, as she now resides in Italy married to an Italian count, busy tending to her two children and overseeing the vineyard – quite a picturesque life, wouldn’t you agree?

The Casino Royale and Penny Dreadful star hasn’t found life particularly challenging, despite being only two minutes older than the rest.

In 2008, Eva stated to the Daily Mail that Joy and I are quite different personalities. Joy had no interest in acting, which was beneficial since it would have been challenging for us both. We used to argue fiercely and behave rather unkindly towards each other, but now our relationship is much improved. Joy even saves newspaper articles about me.

In an interview with The Guardian in 2018, Kiefer shared that growing up as a twin taught him the importance of having someone to share experiences with. He recalled that whenever he encountered something new, he could simply turn to his left and discuss it with his twin. When he was expecting his first child, he marveled at how his mother had managed to care for two infants simultaneously. She jokingly commented that it was a great convenience, which always amused Kiefer. His sister Rachel and he share a very strong bond.

In 2008, Jon shared with W that people often commented, “Dan is slightly more attractive,” but he assured them, “Don’t fret though, you’ve got an edge with women and you’re more polite.

Nevertheless, the actor famed for Napoleon Dynamite noted, “Fans often approach Dan and when he attempts to clarify his identity, they don’t believe him – mistaking his politeness for rudeness! – and they’ll still snap a photo. As a result, he usually just pretends to be me.

If you find yourself unable to outdo them, team up instead: The twins, along with their eldest sibling Doug (the Heder family has a total of six members), established the production company Greasy Entertainment.
