Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Ingrid Johansson was born on November 22, 1984 in New York City, New York, USA.  Her mother, Melanie Sloan, is from Ashkenazi Jewish family, and her father, Karsten Johansson, is Danish.  She has a sister named Vanessa Johansson, a brother named Adrian, and a twin brother named Hunter Johansson born three minutes after her...who knew she had a twin...I sure didn't!  She started her acting career starring as Laura Nelson in the comedy film North (1994).  The highly rated drama film The Horse Whisperer (1998) brought her praise and worldwide recognition.  After that, she starred in many other films including the film Ghost World (2001) and then Lost in Translation (2003) with Bill Murray in which she again, astounded the critics.  Afterwards, she appeared in the drama Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003).

In 2003, she was nominated two Golden Globe Awards, one for the film Girl with a Pearl Earring and one for the comedy Lost in Translation.  She was going to be Lindsey Farris in Mission: Impossible III (2006), but she dropped out from other scheduling stuff, so they gave the part to Keri Russell.  Her next film was The Island (2005) with Ewan McGregor, which didn't earn good reviews.  After that...I know, I know, there are a lot of films that she's been in...anyways, she appeared in Match Point (2005) and was nominated again for a Golden Globe Award.  Man she's been getting a lot of awards lately.  Recently, she's been in the marvel films Iron Man 2 (2010), The Avengers (2012), and Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), as Natasha Romanoff ,which is her real name in the films, but the name she mostly goes by in the films is Black Widow, which I thought all those movies are just flipping amazing!

On the far left she has long, curly, and a little dark red hair in Iron Man 2, the middle one is when she had short, little bit more orange, and wavy-ish hair in The Avengers, and the one on the right is when she had short, straight, and a bit of a bright orange hair in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.  What an evolution of Black Widow.  Speaking of which, her upcoming films where she plays Black Widow are The Avengers: Age of Ultron, which will probably be released on May 1, 2015, and her very own movie Black Widow, still don't know when those are coming out yet.  And her other upcoming film Lucy, which will be released sometime this year.  Lucy is about this girl who was at a party, and then she was taken, and I don't remember what other things happened, but you should see the trailer to understand what I'm trying to sort of explain.

Anyways, lets hope that she does a very good job on those upcoming films and see wherever her career takes her!  And that's all I have on her, please comment if you're confused on something, or if I missed anything, or stuff like that, just please, please comment if you guys need anything.  I hope you liked this post and see you next time!

Emma Watson

Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson was born on April 15, 1990 in Paris, France.  Her catchy nickname is Em, which is a completely normal nickname for a name like 'Emma'.  Anyways, her parents were lawyers.  When she was five her parents divorced, and then she moved, along with her mother and younger brother, Alexander, to Oxfordshire, England.  Ever since her parents divorced her family as you would say has "extended"; her parents have new partners.  Her father has a son named Toby, and identical twin daughters named Nina and Lucy, and her mother's partner has two sons.  She spent most of her childhood living in England with her mother and stepfather, younger brother, and two stepbrothers.  Anyways, when she was at the age fo six, she just knew that she wanted to become an actress.  Now let's get into that!

thunderbird37

For a while she trained at the Oxford branch of Stagecoach Theatre Arts, where she studied singing, dancing and acting; and by the age of ten, she had been in various Stagecoach productions and school plays taking the lead role in "Arthur: The Young Years" and "The Happy Prince".  And this is where it gets exciting!  In 1999, the official casting began for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, which came to theaters in 2001 I believe, and from the brilliant mind of J.K. Rowling who wrote the series, of course before the films.  Which we all know of course that Emma took the leading female role of Hermione Granger, but the question is how...here's how.  There were casting agents that found Emma through her Oxford theatre teacher...I bet Emma thanker her teacher for this wonderful opportunity.  Anyways, their were eight constant auditions, and the producer, David Heyman, told Emma and the fellow auditioners...you know who they are...that they'd been cast for the roles of the three leads, Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint), and of course Hermione Granger (Emma Watson).

Ever since the release of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone came to theaters in 2001, that was Emma's major cinematic screen debut.  Now she is the most well-known actress in the world!  She continued to play Hermione Granger for nearly 10 years...obviously because you just cannot, and I mean cannot replace Emma Watson to play Hermione Granger...she was Hermione Granger in: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001), Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005), Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007), Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009), Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010), and finally Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011).
people
When I saw the first movie for the first time...I just couldn't believe it, I thought it was absolutely amazing!  And I just can't believe that we saw them grow up from little kids, to young adults!
When I saw the last film...I was dying inside because it was, epic, mysterious, magical for one thing, sad, and so many other emotions!  I sort of got to see these people grow up, even though I was so much younger than before, but yeah you get the idea.  Anyways, guess who else cried at the Harry Potter Deathly Hallows: Part 2 premiere...pretty much everyone who was in the cast...including J.K. Rowling!  Ever since the ending of Harry Potter, Emma Watson began to start other films, with My Week with Marilyn (2011), The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012), which I heard was amazing!  Then her recent films The Bling Ring (2013) and Noah (2014)...which I hope they got the facts right from the Noah's Ark story, because if they didn't, I'll be very upset!  Anyways, it was very sad to see these lovely people go.

And that's all I have on her, please comment if you're confused on something, or if I missed anything, or anything like that, just please, please comment if you guys need anything.  So hope you liked it and see you later!

Andrew Garfield

Andrew Russell Garfield was born on August 20, 1983 in Los Angeles, California, USA, to a British-born mother, Lynn Hillman, and an American-born father, Richard Garfield.  His only nickname is Andy...which is somewhat catchy, but sounds more line a common name.  When he was three years old he moved to Surrey, U.K. along with his parents and older brother.  He began acting in youth theatre productions while he was still in school...and at age 19, he went to the Central School of Speech and Drama.

He made his first debut on stage in 2005 in the Channel 4 teen series Sugar Rush (2005) in the U.K.  And guess what...for whoever loves Doctor Who...reaching a wider U.K. audience in a two-part story in Doctor Who season 3 for episodes "Daleks in Manhattan" and "Evolution of the Daleks", he played Frank!  And he's made more movie appearances ever since!  He played Eduardo in The Social Network (2010) and Tommy in Never Let Me Go (2010), two films that raised him up in his career, and brought a lot of fangirls.  And during that exact same year, he was cast as the title character in the Spider-Man film franchise, The Amazing Spider-Man (2012 film), which I mostly know him from, and from The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which I haven't seen yet, and I think he is a really cool superhero, and nobody can say otherwise!

I just think he is soooo adorable! and he deserves to be in the second Avengers movie, because Spiderman is an Avenger...number 329 to be exact.  Just read the comics and you'll understand...although I shouldn't be so judgey because I haven't really read the comics...but anyways read them!

southafricancomicbooks
And I'm just soooooo happy for Andy right now...you want to know why?!  Because he's dating his co-star Emma Stone, who plays Gwen in The Amazing Spiderman!  They actually met while filming on the set of The Amazing Spider-Man.  He has been a huge fan of Spider-Man a very long time before playing the part, and has said in his interviews that Spider-Man was his hero growing up.  He is close friends with Robert Pattinson, not a big fan of, and Matt Smith, now definitely a big fan of!  He's known since they started acting.  After he moved to L.A. in 2007, he became friends with Katy Perry, Shannon Woodward, they were in a relationship from 2008-2011, Bo Barrett and Mia Moretti.  Now that's a lot of cool friends to have...especially if one of them is Katy Perry!

Anyways that's all I have for him, please comment if you're confused on something, or if I missed anything, or anything like that just please, please comment if you guys need anything.  And remember ladies, Peter Parker/Spidey loves you...and he'll do anything to protect you!
