Scarlett Johansson: you need to experiment to live life to the fullest

Scarlett Johansson has said she attributes her current happiness to not being afraid to try new things or experiences.

The Vicky Cristina Barcelona star told Parade recently: “I’m in a good place in my life right now. I’m a really big believer in loving yourself before you can give love to somebody else.

“The healthiest and most inspiring relationships are the ones where you’re so comfortable with the other person that you actually learn more about yourself that you could never appreciate before.

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with experimenting with different lifestyles, especially when you’re young, but at any time in your life.

“Sometimes you expect something is going to go one way and it doesn’t turn out, or sometimes the unexpected happens and it’s positive. If you’re not open to that, I think you can’t live life to the fullest.”

Earlier this year, Scarlett announced her engagement to boyfriend Ryan Reynolds. She was previously in a long term relationship with Josh Hartnett.
