Scarlett Johansson Says Turning 40 Feels “Liberating”

Scarlett Johansson has described turning 40 as “liberating” after celebrating the milestone birthday with a surprise birthday party thrown by her husband, Colin Jost.

The Avengers star opened up about her feelings on turning 40 on LIVE with Kelly and Mark, saying, “Well, it’s only been three days, but so far, it’s great.” 

“You also don’t care what anybody thinks, which is so liberating,” Johansson told hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos. “It’s so liberating!”

The star revealed husband Jost put together a surprise party to celebrate the landmark birthday.

“He threw me a humongous bash this year,” Johansson said. “It was a surprise. And I had all the martinis for everyone, and I can’t wait to see the photos so I can remember the night.”

Scarlett said her “friends and colleagues came from all over the place” to attend the party. 

“It was just, it was magical. And he put it all together!”
