Scarlett Johansson: 'The Avengers' Actress hit "Rock Bottom" After Past Bad Relationship

Not only did Scarlett Johansson show off her assets on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine’s May 2016 issue, she also got candid on a former relationship that led her to hit rock bottom.

"Long, long ago, I had someone in my life who was forever unavailable ... but, like, so attractively unavailable," Johansson revealed. "You have to get to your breaking point -- rock bottom is the moment when you're like, 'I've lost myself. Why am I standing outside this bar at 1:30 in the morning texting while my friends are inside? Or taking a taxi to see him at some ungodly hour? This isn't me.' That is the moment you've gotta cut it off. Otherwise, it will keep coming back, suck your blood."

While the 31-year-old actress didn't drop any specific names, Johansson has a rather rich and complex history with some of Hollywood's A-listers. She famously dated Josh Hartnett from 2005 to 2007 and she was previously married to Ryan Reynolds, from 2008 to 2010.

Meanwhile, the Avengers actress has left those former dating woes behind her. These days she's happily married and has one child with her French millionaire hubby Romain Dauriac.

Johansson also weighed in equal pay saying, “There’s something icky about me having that conversation unless it applies to a greater whole… I am very fortunate, I make a really good living, and I’m proud to be an actress who’s making as much as many of my male peers at this stage… I think every woman has [been underpaid], but unless I’m addressing it as a larger problem, for me to talk about my own personal experience with it feels a little obnoxious. It’s part of a larger conversation about feminism in general,” she said.
