In a recent interview with Howard Stern on his podcast, Johansson shared her experience while filming the movie. She revealed that she felt like she wasn’t kept in the loop about what was happening on set and that the 34-year age gap between her and Murray, along with his eccentric nature, made the project difficult to work on. She also mentioned that Murray had a lot of energy, was always “on,” and had a lot of ups and downs. As a 17-year-old, she found it hard to keep up with him and felt more introspective in comparison.

Despite being a challenging shoot, Johansson and Murray were a hit together on set. Their chemistry translated to the screen, and Lost in Translation was a critical and commercial success. The experience made Johansson a better actor and provided her with the experience she needed to grow in the industry.
