Robert Downey Jr.’s Perfect Reply To Scarlett Johansson’s Diet Question
It is not uncommon in general for celebrities to get questioned about their diet and training regime. Similarly, it was not the first time when Johansson had been questioned about her diet. But this time the question sounded even more ridiculous when it was asked that while RDJ got a philosophical question sitting right next to her. It was evident by the Under the Skin star’s face that she was not quite happy with the question.
During a promotional interview, a question was presented to Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson. The Iron Man star was asked how he dealt with the shift of attitude of his character from being an egotistical solo player to becoming a cooperative team player. On the other hand, the Black Widow star was simply asked what’s her diet and training routine for delivering such a perfect figure and performance as Natasha Romanoff. Before the Lucy star could respond, RDJ replied that people are more interested in Johansson’s question than his answer, and lighted the mood for everyone.
“If I have learned anything then it’s that people are much more interested in your second question to Scarlett than any answer to mine.”
Johansson then took over and shared about always being questioned about her diet, unlike her co-stars who receive such thought-provoking questions. Johannson of course then continued to give a little glimpse into her diet.
“I was just gonna say the very thing, that’s so funny. How come you get the really interesting existential question, and I get the like rabbit food question? I don’t know…surely you know your training and doing all that stunt work and eat a lot of green things.”
