ET met 13-year-old Scarlett Johansson in 1998.
We love seeing Scarlett Johansson kick ass as Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the actress caught our attention long before that. ET first met 13-year-old Scarlett back in 1998 to talk about her newest project, The Horse Whisperer.
In the movie, Scarlett plays Grace, a young girl injured in a tragic horseback riding accident, who learns how to get back in the saddle with the help of a horse expert, played by Robert Redford.
Though Scarlett played a skilled horseback rider, she admitted at the time that she had no training prior to taking on the movie.

“I didn't know what I was doing and I was very unsure of myself,” Johansson told ET. “After taking many lessons and working with the wranglers, I became obsessed with it -- so it's a new thing for me, I'm excited.”
The movie was shot in beautiful Montana, the same state where she would marry her now-husband Romain Dauriac on Oct. 1, 2014.
“I could see having a vacation home there,” said Johansson of Montana. “Maybe someday I will have a home there and get to spend more time there.”
