Scarlett Johansson talks about her ‘challenges’ from 2011

With 2012 quickly approaching December becomes a time for reflection of the year that has passed and for Scarlett Johannson, she has a lot to look back on in 2011.

The actress divorced the love of her life, Ryan Reynolds, who has now moved into a pretty serious relationship with Blake Lively, as well as her five month whirlwind romance with actor Sean Penn.  Johansson also had to deal with the scandal that broke after very private photographs of her in the buff were leaked online.  While speaking to Access Hollywood, Scarlett spoke about the ‘challenging’ events that happened throughout 2011.  She said;

“I've had ups and downs. Certainly, this past year has been a lot of unexpected things in many beautiful ways, many challenging ways. You just have to kind of embrace it. For me, the most important thing is that it doesn’t affect my work and it doesn't affect my private life as much as possible."

As for 2012, Scarlett has one thing in mind – sleep.  She said;

“I'm just looking forward to sleeping later than five in the morning. I just want to have a little vacation before I get back to finishing this job, and then just keep going."
