Scarlett Johansson gets daughter Rose Dorothy to eat fruits and veggies by not making it ‘a chore’

Notoriously private about her mom-life, Scarlett Johansson is opening up about how she parents her daughter at meal times.

The 36-year-old star discussed how she’s made eating healthy not seem like ‘a chore’ for six-year-old Rose Dorothy – whom she shares with her ex-husband – in a new interview with People.

Scarlett recently partnered with the company HumanCo on their brand of grain-free organic pizza bites, Snow Day.

‘It’s funny, but I think I never really had to trick her into eating healthy,’ Scarlett said of her daughter’s eating habits.

‘I think [it’s best] just letting kids discover food that way without making it feel like a chore,’ she continued, adding that she’s using the same ‘one bite rule’ that her own mom used with her when she was little.

The Marvel star went on to explain that she’s really not a stickler at meal times and wants Rose to figure out her tastes on her own. 

‘Everybody has a different palate. I’ve never tried to force my kid to eat anything she didn’t like, and I never tried to hide any foods from her because I was trying to pack in an extra carrot,’ the bombshell said.

‘I’m just like, “If you don’t like carrots, you don’t have to eat them.” But just offer a variety as much as possible,’ Scarlett continued. ‘And then I think, as you get older your palate develops, and you get out of those habits.’ 

Scarlett shares Rose with her ex-husband, advertising executive, Romain Dauriac. The pair began dating in 2012 but were split by 2016 after welcoming their daughter two years prior.

Following their divorce, Scarlett began a relationship with her now husband Colin Jost. 

A new trailer for Scarlett’s upcoming superhero film Black Widow was released on Marvel Entertainment’s official YouTube channel last Saturday.

The clip shows Johansson’s character confronting her tumultuous past and mending her old relationships, all while being pursued by an unstoppable villain.

The forthcoming feature was helmed by Berlin Syndrome director Cate Shortland and chronologically takes place after the events of Captain America: Civil War.  

Black Widow is set to make its debut in theaters and on the Disney+ streaming service on July 9th.
