The American actress and singer Scarlett Johansson has revealed that being a parent inspired her for the upcoming movie 'Jojo Rabbit'. She said being a mother has really helped her and influenced her to work for her upcoming project. She added that real-life experiences do work especially when you take inspiration for a pertinent character. She said that being a real-life mother to a five-year-old Rose has really helped her portray the role of a parent in a big screen twice in the year of 2019.

The 'Avengers' actor opened up about the same while visiting the EW and PEOPLE studio at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) where her next outing 'Jojo Rabbit' is set to premiere on Sunday.

The 'Black Widow' actor noted that being a parent herself has been "invaluably helpful" in portraying the role of Rosie on screen.
"I think for actors, of course, there are ways of getting yourself where you need to go. Being a parent myself was just invaluably helpful to me," Johansson said.

"I had empathy for Rosie's plate that I may not have had insight on otherwise. She was just a joy to play. She's a warm, lovable character that felt really comfy to me. And I wanted that to come across, that she's just comfortable and kind of sugary and warm," she said of her character.
