Scarlett Johansson was enthusiastically supported by twin brother Hunter during Jurassic World Rebirth premiere
Scarlett Johansson has revealed that her twin brother Hunter was her most enthusiastic supporter at the premiere of Jurassic World Rebirth.
The 40-year-old actress leads the cast of the new movie as Zora Bennett and admits that her twin sibling was the "loudest audience member" at the event in New York because he is such a big fan of the dinosaur franchise.
In an interview with E! News, Scarlett said: "He was the loudest audience member. I knew that that would be the case because he loves Jurassic so much and was like, there for it."
She added: "He would've been there either way because he's a fan and the movie is so explosive. He was literally orchestrating the John Williams music and was just like, so loud."
Scarlett admits that her watching the film with her twin brother was particularly special as they had both loved the original 1993 flick Jurassic Park together as children.
The Jojo Rabbit star said: "That was really fun because we saw the movie together when we were nine or 10 in the theatre, and here we are in this full circle moment. It's kind of crazy."
Johansson realised a childhood dream by starring in the movie and has vivid memories of her first day on the set of the film.
She recalled: "Even our first day at work, we landed in Krabi, Thailand, took a car to a boat to another car to another boat to this remote island we were shooting on.
"By the time we got down to this little jungle path to the beach, you're like, 'Oh my god, it's really Jurassic Park out here!' It's just so embedded in my memory."
Scarlett's co-star Jonathan Bailey was also pleased to have the support of his scientist sister as he takes on the role of Dr. Henry Loomis movie.
The 37-year-old star explained: "At the London premiere, my sister is a genetic counsellor for the NHS.
"And my character says, 'Science is for all of us', and I could just see she gulped and she was like, crying."
Jonathan continued: "You remember how important this film is in all of its different messages as well as the thrills and the highs. There's a real heart to the Jurassic films."

Tom Sandoval found cheating controversy 'really hard'
Tom Sandoval found it "really hard" to overcome his cheating scandal. The 42-year-old star was widely criticised after it emerged that he had a months-long affair with Rachel Leviss, which led to his split from Ariana Madix - but Tom has now got his life back on track and he's having fun as a contestant on America's Got Talent. Asked what winning the TV talent show would mean to him, Tom told E! News: "That would be crazy. "That would be so amazing. Obviously, there's such a slim chance because of so many great acts out there, but I would obviously be so happy for the band and for myself." Tom admitted to feeling particularly nervous about Simon Cowell's feedback. Tom said: "He's a legend. I mean they all are, but he definitely has his reputation of being brutally honest." However, Simon and the other judges have been broadly positive about Tom and his band so far. Tom explained: "Seeing Simon Cowell's smile at the end, and Mel B just being like, 'You really put a smile on my face and I loved it. You guys are not ashamed to say that you're a cover man.' Everybody was having a good time and we got a standing ovation. That means so much to me." Tom also appreciates how fans have embraced him, following his 2023 cheating scandal. In a message to fans, Tom said: "It was really hard. Thank you for following along and hopefully we do well and I do them proud. Wish us the best of luck." Meanwhile, Tom previously admitted that he wears his cheating scandal as a "badge of shame". The reality star said to Ariana on the Vanderpump Rules reunion episode: "I know you don't want to be around me. "Whatever our relationship was the good, the bad - whatever you did, whatever I did - it doesn't matter. You didn't deserve that. And I'm really sorry, from the bottom of my heart." Tom admitted to regretting his affair and acknowledged that he'd struggled to move on from the controversy. He told his ex-girlfriend: "Ariana, I regret it every day. I wear it as a badge of shame. I did the thing that I said I would never do and I did it."

‘Biggest mystery' in cinematic history still unanswered
It's been more than 20 years since Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson joined forces for Sofia Coppola's award-winning film Lost in Translation. And yet, in the two decades since the movie's release, the mystery surrounding the pivotal final scene has never been revealed. Today, it remains one of the most endearing movie mysteries of all time. What did Murray's character Bob Harris whisper to Johansson's Charlotte during their final encounter? Only the co-stars, and the filmmaker herself know the answer. In the blockbuster, widely regarded as one of the best travel movies of all time, Murray plays a faded film star who forms a fleeting, intimate bond while in Tokyo with Johansson's character, a disillusioned young Yale graduate and newlywed. The film was a bona fide hit, earning $US118.7 million on a $4 million budget. It received four Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Murray. Coppola ultimately took home the award for Best Original Screenplay. And yet, that final whispered line seems to be what viewers still obsess over. Over the years, film critics and movie buffs have attempted to decode the parting thoughts of Murray's character at the end of the pair's whirlwind stay in the Japanese capital. But the answer has never been divulged. The most popular guess, which a YouTuber went viral for back in 2007, is: 'I have to be leaving, but I won't let that come between us, okay?' Other stabs in the dark from cinema detectives include: 'Promise me, that the next thing you do, is go up to that man and tell him the truth.' 'I just want you to know I will never forget this okay?' 'When John [Johansson's character's husband] is ready for his next business trip, go up to that man and tell him the truth, okay?' Others on Reddit have weighed in over the years, with one commenting, 'It's supposed to be ambiguous, a private moment just between the two characters.' Another wrote: 'How people hear anything but 'tell him the truth, okay' at the end of the phrase is bizarre.' Yet another couch critic said: 'You are supposed to decide what he whispers. I don't believe it is scripted.' There were plenty of jokes, too. 'You'll become Black Widow one day,' one person quipped. Director Sofia Coppola herself weighed in on the mystery on the film's 15th anniversary, simply stating: 'That thing Bill whispers to Scarlett was never intended to be anything. 'I was going to figure out later what to say and add it in and then we never did.' Meanwhile, the co-stars have continued to enjoy the prolonged secret over the years, without actually giving it away. The Cadyshak star, now 74, appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show back in March to promote his movie Riff Raff, however wound up reminiscing about the hit romantic comedy-drama from 2003. 'Well there was a girl, she was a teenager back then her name was Scarlett Johansson back then,' the comedian told Barrymore. 'She was only 17 when she made that movie, 17 years old and it was beautiful to make the movie with the two of them [Coppola and Johansson].' The host then hit up Murray about the unforgettable whisper scene. 'I love that you guys had the confidence to leave the film on the note of mystery,' she said. 'Well that was an inspired moment, that happened in the moment, it happened in the moment,' Murray said vaguely, before adding, 'there were three of us that had the same moment.' Despite whispering in Barrymore's ear for added flair, Murray concluded by saying: 'That was a moment of seeing, 'This is going to happen and it's going to be even better because we're never going to know'.' Right … Similarly, Johansson weighed in back in 2023 around the film's 20-year anniversary. 'Oh my god, that sounds pretty profound,' the Avengers star replied when hit up by Yahoo Entertainment about the exact transcript of the infamous moment. 'Probably way more profound than what was actually said!' Listening to the internet's answer a second time, she answered less confidently: 'Maybe? I don't know about that. I give it, like, a B-minus.' Of course, Johansson declined to reveal the exact sentence. And so, the mystery lives on.
