Johansson was caught away by a young Chilean journalist’s brazen and odd revelation as cameras filmed, and the media gathered to hear details about her next project.

No one saw the moment of pure chutzpah that would shortly steal the show. A young Chilean journalist took advantage of the buzzing expectation to make an astounding confession. His voice shook with nervous energy and resolve as he revealed his true sentiments to the famous actress.
“This is kind of a confession: I can’t sleep at night thinking about you. Sorry, I have to tell you. I’m a journalist but I’m an actor, too. Please, could you choose one of your favorites (movies) to make with me. Come on Scarlett, please.”
The actress smartly replied,“Oh God…Uhm. ‘Single White Female,’ maybe,”
The proposal took aback Scarlett Johansson, but her humor was never far from her side. The journalist caught her off guard by the aggressiveness, but the actress handled the situation with comedy and irony, earning her audience’s laughter and praise.

Despite the journalist’s attempts to push the envelope, stars like Johansson and Washington expertly deflected attention back to their work, initiatives, and creative aspirations.
