She told WENN, “There are things outside of the movie business that I want to pursue and hopefully eventually will when all this falls apart.”
“I also think it would be nice to have a vineyard somewhere and have an organic farm. It’s a hippy dippy wish but a good one.”
It doesn’t look like Johansson’s career is ending anytime soon, but we’ll be on the lookout.
