Scarlett Johansson Loses Her Cool on Set, Slams Paparazzi for Getting in Her Way

TheScholarlyNote.com has the scoop on a dramatic moment that went down on the set of Paper Tiger, starring Oscar-nominated actress Scarlett Johansson! The 40-year-old Hollywood starlet was filming a scene in Queens when she lost her temper and gave paparazzi a piece of her mind.

According to eyewitnesses, Johansson was in the middle of capturing a pivotal moment when a pesky photog swooped in and got in her line of sight. That's when our beloved Black Widow went off! "Out of the f*g way!" she shouted at the top of her lungs. "Move out of the way, I'm working! I get that you're working, but let me do my job. Be respectful!"

It seems Johansson was feeling particularly fierce and ready to take on the world (or at least, the paparazzi). The actress, rocking a vintage-inspired look featuring a curly wig, 80s-inspired attire, and thick eyeglasses, looked every inch the Hollywood star she is.

But what really got our attention was the way Johansson stood her ground. When asked to describe the incident, an insider revealed that the actress "wasn't having it" when the paparazzi invaded her space. "She was totally calm and collected, but firm," they said. "She wasn't going to let anyone or anything get in the way of her doing her job."

So, what's Paper Tiger all about? The James Gray-directed crime drama stars Johansson alongside Adam Driver and Miles Teller. According to Deadline, it's a tense and gritty film that explores themes of betrayal and family torn apart. In short, it looks like this movie is going to be a real nail-biter!

The actress further vocalized her frustrations, loudly telling the photographers: 'Move out of the way, I'm working. I get that you're working, but let me do my job. Be respectful'

As for Johansson's latest achievement, she has officially surpassed her Marvel Cinematic Universe peers Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Downey Jr. as the highest-grossing lead actor ever! The actress accomplished this feat with the massive success of Jurassic World Rebirth, which raked in a whopping $147.3 million at the domestic box office and $318.3 million worldwide.

With her impressive track record and fearless attitude, it's no wonder Johansson is one of the most beloved and respected actresses in Hollywood. And we can't wait to see what she does next!
