Scarlett Johansson reveals family criticism over naming son Cosmo
The 'Jurassic World Rebirth' actress is a mother to two kids.
Scarlett Johansson is giving fans a peek behind the curtain of her family dynamics.
On the Thursday, December 4, edition of Today with Jenna & Friends, The Jurassic World Rebirth actress discussed naming her 4-year-old son Cosmo and admitted that while some family members embraced the choice, others weren’t quite as thrilled.
When we named our son Cosmo, I actually didn’t tell anybody for that very reason. I didn’t want any of the weird faces. You know when you tell someone they go like this, ‘Oh that’s…that’s different,’" the 41-year-old actress shared.
“You know when they do that, and you’re like, ‘What’s happening? You don’t like it?’”
Johansson noted that her mother loved the name, recalling, “It had a great meaning for her."
"She was like, ‘Oh, I had a, you know, I had like a…my third grade crush was Cosmo,'" she playfully revealed.
Her mother-in-law, however, had a different perspective, "My mother-in-law was like, a few days after she goes, ‘Cosimo is a name I can find. That’s a recognizable name.'"
The Lucy star is a mother to two children: 11-year-old Rose Dorothy, whom she shares with ex husband Romain Dauriac and son Cosmo with comedian Colin Jost.
