In the sci-fi and romantic comedy Her, the 39-year-old actress plays an artificial intelligence named Samantha, and Phoenix’s character, Theodore, falls in love with her.

During an appearance on the Armchair Expert podcast in 2022, Johansson recalled the bold scene between the two main characters in the film. Even though she was the voice of Samantha, the actress did not physically appear in the film, which made the situation a bit strange. “Joaquin arrives, we try to do a take and he was, like, losing control. He was, like, angry,” she said.

“He had already done [the scene], he had done it in person, and now he was with me, in this weird theater, I’m in a balcony and [Joaquin] is looking at me, the lights are low and Spike is there. It was so bizarre. Joaquin was so upset by this that he left the studio. He needed a break,” admitted the actress.
