Scarlett Johansson on motherhood: “Protecting my children’s privacy is my biggest lesson”

The 40-year-old actress shares her 10-year-old daughter, Rose, with ex-husband Romain Dauriac and her three-year-old son, Cosmo, with Colin Jost. She recently explained that she wants them to understand that “anonymity” is something that, once lost, cannot be regained.

In an interview with InStyle, the star said: “If someone knows me, they’d probably say I overshare. I’m definitely not a closed book, you know? No. I’m politically active and outspoken about it. But I’m a private person in the sense that I deeply value my close friendships. My family is incredibly important to me, as is their privacy. My children’s anonymity is very precious to me. The other day, I was talking to my daughter because she said, ‘Oh, I’d love to make videos for [my skincare brand] The Outset.’ She asked, ‘Why can’t I?’ And I told her, ‘Well, aside from the fact that you’re 10…’ The thing about being a public figure is that the idea of being recognized and celebrated seems fun, but once you lose your privacy, you can never get it back. The reality is that it’s a huge loss, you know? So, I think preserving that for as long as possible until it becomes their choice is my greatest lesson as a parent.”

Meanwhile, the Black Widow star has been a Hollywood name since her teenage years but admitted that she still worries her success could vanish overnight.

“I’m fortunate to have worked for a long time, and not too long ago, I started feeling settled in my career. Like all working actors, I used to have this constant fear that everything would just fall apart. Or that every movie would be my last. Deep down, I’m still that eight-year-old kid hoping for the next role. But now I see that I’ve actually built something… that I have a place here. And because of that, I’ve been able to stand my ground and not feel like I could disappear. I can carry this with me.”

Man arrested after deliberately driving into seven children in Osaka

Japanese police arrested a man on Thursday after he rammed his car into a group of seven schoolchildren in an apparent deliberate attack in the city of Osaka.

The children, who were on their way home from school, sustained injuries and were taken to the hospital. All seven remained conscious, according to local authorities.

An Osaka police officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the suspect is a 28-year-old man from Tokyo. The officer shared statements the man made after his arrest: “I was fed up with everything, so I decided to kill people by driving into several elementary school children,” the suspect reportedly said.

The man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

The injured children, aged between seven and eight, included a seven-year-old girl who suffered a fractured jaw. The six other children—all boys—suffered minor injuries such as bruises and scratches and were undergoing medical evaluation.

Witnesses described the car as “zigzagging” before hitting the children. One witness told Nippon TV that a girl was “covered in blood” and the others appeared to have scratches.

Another witness said the driver, who was wearing a face mask, looked to be in shock when school staff pulled him from the vehicle.

Violent crimes are rare in Japan, though serious incidents do occur from time to time. In 2008, Tomohiro Kato drove a two-ton truck into pedestrians in Tokyo’s Akihabara district, then fatally stabbed several victims. Seven people were killed in that attack.

Clashes erupt during may day protests across France amid calls for better wages

May Day protests in France were marked by a heavy police presence and clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement in several cities.

In Paris, Lyon, and Nantes, thousands took to the streets to demand better wages, fairer working conditions, and to voice their dissatisfaction with President Emmanuel Macron’s government.

While the majority of the demonstrations remained peaceful, isolated confrontations broke out in some areas. Protesters threw objects at the police, prompting the use of tear gas and resulting in several arrests.

Videos showing police crackdowns circulated widely on social media, drawing criticism from labor unions and human rights advocates, who denounced the authorities’ response to the protests.

Kristi Noem credits Trump for mass migrant deportations by mexican president

U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem claimed that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has deported “more than half a million” migrants due to pressure from former President Donald Trump.

During a cabinet meeting highlighting the “achievements” of Trump’s administration in its first 100 days, Noem asserted that under the Republican leader’s influence, “Mexico has finally come to the table” to negotiate on migration and fentanyl trafficking.

“The president of Mexico told me she has returned just over half a million people before they reached our border,” Noem stated, criticizing media reports that suggest the Biden administration deported more migrants than Trump’s.

“I wish those deportations were counted,” Noem added, “because those people never made it to our border—she sent them back because you made her.” She went on to thank Trump: “They never made it here because they got the message—because you were so aggressive.”

Noem has made controversial claims about Sheinbaum in the past, prompting the Mexican leader to refute them.

On April 1, Sheinbaum responded to one such statement by declaring, “The president answers to only one authority, and that is the people of Mexico,” after Noem said on Fox News that she gave Sheinbaum “a list of things Trump would like to see” and that Mexico’s actions would determine whether Trump granted tariff relief.
