At the time, she was just 13 years old.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I&#8217;m just a teenager and I do have fights with my parents,&#8221; said teenage Johansson in the old interview. &#8220;We want our independence, but at the same time, we want a security blanket there too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Meanwhile, Johansson is smiling to herself while watching the video, agreeing with the points her teenage self was saying. Now, the actress has two children of her own: a 11-year-old daughter named Rose Dorothy with her ex-husband Romain Dauriac, and a four-year-old son named Cosmo with <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/colin-jost-reaction-wife-scarlett-023630568.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:her husband Colin Jost;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">her husband Colin Jost<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Looking back on that, I think I&#8217;m getting dumber actually?&#8221; I think I was smarter then.
