Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost: A Unique Collaboration in Beauty
Scarlett Johansson, the 40-year-old actress, recently shared an intriguing detail about her skincare line, The Outset, during an appearance on Busy Phillips' talk show, Busy This Week. The episode, which took place on Wednesday, October 29, revealed how she enlisted her husband, comedian Colin Jost, as an in-house beauty tester.
Johansson explained that during the development of The Outset products, she was largely isolated due to the pandemic. "I'm in my own bubble here," she said. "I just used Colin." She added that Jost's excellent skin is a result of using The Outset, suggesting that husbands should also participate in skincare routines.
Phillips, who is 46, responded with enthusiasm, saying, "Wait, I'm kind of obsessed!" The conversation sparked curiosity about whether the couple might be working together on a TV show.
The couple, married since October 2020, have a four-year-old son named Cosmo. Earlier this year, there were reports that they might be taking their relationship to the small screen. A source close to the couple mentioned that Colin is Scarlett’s biggest fan and that she admires his talent. They worked together on Fly Me to the Moon, and both enjoyed the experience, expressing interest in doing more projects together.
The insider noted that a TV project could be ideal for the couple, as it would allow them to shoot in New York and manage their schedules around their family life. While they are still considering options, they are actively looking at pitches and developing their own ideas. The source emphasized that not every couple can work together, but the pair has proven they can, which is exciting.
Scarlett Johansson's Beauty Brand: The Outset
In the meantime, Scarlett continues to focus on expanding her beauty brand, The Outset. Launched in March 2022, the brand offers a range of skincare products, including cleansers, moisturizers, and serums. Johansson described her journey into the beauty industry as both challenging and rewarding.
"I’ve been the face of several luxury brands throughout my career, and all of those experiences were really wonderful," she told Vogue at the time. "I guess I always felt that I was sort of playing a character in those campaigns, and as I evolved, I wanted to create and represent a brand that was true to me."
Johansson admitted that entering the beauty space was intimidating at first. "I never understood the background of how brands come to be. I just didn’t feel like I had a place at the table, because it was this whole new venture," she said. However, over time, she gained confidence and felt that her perspective on skincare was worth pursuing.
The company was born out of curiosity and a genuine love for beauty and skincare. Although she initially considered partnering with an existing company, she kept returning to the idea of building something entirely her own. "It was this really authentic desire," she said.
