Hey there! Let's dish about Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray, shall we? Their collaboration on the 2003 film Lost in Translation offered more than just a great movie. Scarlett spilled the beans on Bill's tough times on set, and it ain't all rainbows and sunshine.

Scarlett, who's known for her roles as Black Widow and in the mega-hit Avengers, was a big fan of Bill before joining him on this project. But boy, oh boy, did things change. Seems like Bill was swimming upstream during production, and it affected everyone around him, including the director and the whole crew.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Scarlett revealed that Bill was in a rough patch. She felt that everyone on set was walking on eggshells around him because of his personal issues. But this kind of co-star headspace was new to Scarlett.

But fast-forward a few years, and they crossed paths again at the Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary special. Scarlett shared that Bill's transformation was evident. She said, "He's a completely different person now. Life has kind of kicked him around, and I think that helped him realize there's more to life than what he was dealing with back then."

When asked if Scarlett meant that Bill had been "humbled" by the allegations of misconduct leveled against him, she confirmed it. "Yep, those allegations were a real wake-up call, no doubt about that," she said, adding that Bill also had a tough time dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Scarlett's next big project is Jurassic World Rebirth, set to premiere on July 2, and she'll be starring alongside Jonathan Bailey. On the other hand, Bill is all set to star with Naomi Watts in The Friend, hitting theaters on March 28.

Oh, and for those curious about the details of Bill's struggles on set, Scarlett didn't delve too deeply. Instead, she focused on how his behavior affected the mood on set and how he's reportedly changed over time.
