But during this year’s MTV Movie and TV Awards 2021 ceremony, she was left totally stunned after her husband Colin Jost, threw a bowl of slime over her while she was acceptation the prestigious Generation Award.
The actress, whose films include Marriage Story, Jojo Rabbit and the Marvel movies, dedicated the honour to those she had worked with over her glittering career.
In a video acceptance speech, Johansson also paid tribute to her fans for “riding the wave with me and supporting my career so I can continue to have the good fortune to pursue the job that is my passion”.
Saturday Night Live star Jost appeared during the speech and poured a bowl of slime over his wife, joking he had confused the MTV ceremony with the Nickelodeon awards, where winners are traditionally covered in the sticky substance.
“What the f*ck?!” she screamed, spluttering through the bright green slime.
