Channing Tatum had a funny first encounter with Scarlett Johansson. During the latest edition of Spilling the E-Tea, Tatum told his Make me fly to the moon co-star he first noticed about her on the film’s set.
“My first impression of you in the film was that you were adapting one of the wigs. That was amazing,” Tatum said. “It wasn’t there yet, let’s just say. It looked like a little raccoon on your head. Nothing against raccoons because they might be trendy, but this was, like, a red raccoon situation. But you tamed it. You got there. Got Lots of photos of it.”
“You haunted me throughout the entire movie,” Johansson added. “There’s nothing like having your co-stars like their little finger pulling your real hair. I was like, ‘Go away!’ You don’t want to see how the sausage is made, guys. This is fundamental here.
As for why people should see her new ’60s-set film, which follows a marketing executive and a NASA employee as he prepares for the Apollo 11 moon landing, Johansson joked about her and his friends’ fun banter. Tatum: “We’re doing it right now. This is what you get, guys. You get two whole hours of this.
“Because of that stupidity and the raccoons, apparently,” Tatum joked, with Johansson chiming in: “And a great weaving job.”
Another great reason to watch the film? Colin JostJohansson’s real-life husband makes a cameo in the project.
“He definitely didn’t get tested,” Johansson said of the Saturday night live star. “…It’s always fun to work with him.”
“I like to see it in a different light because we’re married and we live together, so we don’t normally see each other in a professional capacity,” she said. “It’s really fun to be on set and work.”
The next step in her career, Johansson was chosen to star in the next Jurassic World film.
“I’m basically looking forward to every aspect of it. I’m really excited,” she said. “Thailand will be incredible. We have an incredible cast. I’m very excited. I’m a huge, huge, huge Jurassic Park fan, so I’ve basically been trying to get into this franchise for the last 15 years. I tried many different ways, assuming it would never be possible. I was like, ‘I’m going to die in the first five minutes. I’d do anything. I would do artisanal work. I want to be in it.'”
Make me fly to the moon will hit theaters on July 12th.
