Scarlett Johansson Appears on “You Quiz on the Block,” Opens Up About Her Struggles with Anxiety
On July 9, tvN’s beloved variety show You Quiz on the Block teased fans with a special announcement: Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson would appear on Episode 300 Special Part 2, airing at 8:45 PM KST.
In the teaser video shared on social media, the Black Widow star sits down with Yoo Jae-suk and Jo Se-ho to share both light-hearted stories and deeply personal reflections from her 30-year career in Hollywood.
During the episode, Yoo Jae-suk asks, “In Korea, we have team dinners or wrap parties after filming. Do you have team dinners in Hollywood?” Scarlett responds, “We do team dinners too. We go out for dinner or to a bar together.” Jo Se-ho adds, “In our team, Yoo Jae-suk is the leader, so he usually pays. In Hollywood, when actors go out, who pays?”
Scarlett then recounts a humorous moment from a recent premiere in London, saying, “The whole cast and staff went out for dinner. We ate and drank a lot. But as the night went on, everyone said, ‘Bye!’ and left. I was just sitting there like, ‘Who’s paying for this?’ It was me. I paid. Just me and the bill were left.”
Her story sent the hosts into laughter, with Yoo Jae-suk joking, “So as everyone left, you were stuck paying alone.”
In a more emotional moment, Scarlett Johansson opened up about her ongoing struggles with anxiety, despite her long-standing success. “Everything makes me anxious. Every time I start a new project, I get incredibly nervous,” she admitted. “When filming Jurassic World: Rebirth, I had an existential crisis for the first two weeks. I wondered, ‘Am I the right person for this role?’ I had no idea if I was doing well.”
Her honesty offered a rare glimpse behind the glamor, showing fans that even A-list stars deal with self-doubt and mental pressure.
