Scarlett Johansson shows off her huge back tattoos at the Asteroid City premiere in Cannes

Scarlett Johansson showed off her massive back tattoos at the Cannes Film Festival premiere of Asteroid City on Tuesday.

The American actress, 38, looked glamorous as she showed off her eye-catching inks while dressed in an elegant pink dress.

Scarlett’s form-fitting dress with white shimmering straps showed off her incredible figure, while she turned up the heat by accessorizing with a dazzling pair of earrings.

The actress first debuted inking a lamb under her right shoulder blade in June 2017 at the premiere of her movie Rough Night.

Just a month later in August 2017, she first revealed the large floral tattoo etched on her back.

Scarlett’s other tattoos include a horseshoe on her rib cage – designed by French graffiti artist and tattoo artist Fuzi Uvtpk – a rising sun on her left forearm and two interlocking circles on her right ankle.

She also has a bracelet tattoo on her wrist and a Lucky One stamp on her ribs.

Scarlett made an extremely rare red carpet appearance with husband Colin Jost, 40, at the premiere of Asteroid City when she held hands.

The movie star, who plays the character Midge Campbell in the film, couldn’t contain her smile as she socialized with Saturday Night Live star Colin, who looked very dashing in a black tuxedo.

Directed by Wes Anderson, the film follows the route of a Junior Stargazer convention that is spectacularly disrupted by world-changing events.

The actress in Asteroid City also includes Jason Schwartzman, Margot Robbie and Tom Hanks.

Scarlett and her husband Colin have been married for three years and share a son, Cosmo Jost.

The Hollywood star also shares eight-year-old daughter Rose Dorothy with French journalist ex-husband Romain Dauriac.

It comes after the actress admitted earlier this year that she nearly quit acting after she lost a dream role that went to Sandra Bullock.

In a candid new interview, Scarelett opened up about her feelings of inadequacy after being rejected for the big roles she auditioned for.

And after initially losing the part of Black Widow, which was originally offered to Emily Blunt, Scarlett shared how she started feeling “hopeless” after being subsequently overlooked for a role in Gravity.

That part went to Sandra Bullock, 58, who starred alongside George Clooney, 62, in the 2013 sci-fi film, which saw her nominated for Best Actress at the Academy Awards, Golden Globes, and BAFTAs.

Scarlett said that a certain rejection was “kind of the straw that broke the camel’s back” because it made her think about her future in the film industry.

She said Variety: ‘I was turned down for two roles – the first was Iron Man 2 and the other was Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity, I wanted that part so much.

‘It was kind of the last straw that broke the camel’s back. I felt really frustrated and hopeless. Like, “Am I doing the right job?”‘

Meanwhile, the actress questioned whether the roles she had actually been offered “fulfilled” after her success in breakout film Lost In Translation set her up to be a bombshell, with Scarlett claiming it was “difficult” to get out of. escape that box. and change the story.

She wondered if she would make any progress with her career, adding, “The job I was offered felt deeply unfulfilling. I think I’ve gotten every Marilyn Monroe script ever. I was like, ‘Is this the end of the creative road?’

However, Scarlett’s fortunes soon turned when Emily Blunt was forced to pull out of Iron Man 2 due to contractual obligations with Fox and she was offered the role in the Marvel movie again.

While her role in the movie wasn’t huge, it did pave the way for other opportunities for the star.

She said “That movie wasn’t going to advance the needle in terms of how my character was written, but there was potential for what it could be – a potential for growth in subsequent films”.
