For those wanting to contend this, you really are aware of the effortless charm that the Hollywood A-lister brings to her performance and the power she holds.
Be it her performance as Rosie in Jojo Rabbit, Sofia Coppola's melancholia in Lost In Translation or Nicole Barber from Marriage Story alongside Adam Driver, Johansson knows how to move us with her spectacular performances. Even when she is not on the screen, Johansson's voice is enough to make us linger in the moment far too long and we're totally okay with it.
