Scarlett Johansson Wearings A Curly Blonde Wig While Filming 'Paper Tiger'

Last week, the 40-year-old was photographed in a residential neighborhood of Queens, New York, on the set of Paper Tiger. The film is directed by James Gray and is centered around two brothers who get involved with the Russian mafia and end up terrorizing their families. The American crime drama stars Scarlett, Adam Driver, her famous co-star in A Marriage Story, and Miles Teller.

 

Though there isn't much information available regarding the plot and specific characters, the actress seems to play a mother figure, as she was filmed and photographed looking a bit older in some 'mom clothes,' exiting a suburban home with two teenage boys going off to school.

 

Part of her wardrobe for the scene she was filming was a platinum blonde, curly wig. It was styled in an old-school way, with plenty of volume. The rest of her look included a baby blue sweater, a pale beige coat, and light brown slacks. The hairstyle made her look just different enough for her to embrace her character, but she still looked like her iconic movie star self.

Scarlett's Fans Say They 'Can't Wait' To See 'Paper Tiger'

Once paparazzi took the on-set photos, they began circulating on social media, where fans of the mom-of-two started posting comments on her character transformation. Some feel she's channeling Marilyn Monroe in the vintage blonde hairstyle, while others are simply excited to see the film when it hits theaters later this year.

 

"Scarlett Johansson is so giving Marilyn Monroe but better," commented a fan under more on-set Instagram photos of Scarlett.

 

"She's always been beautiful."

 

"Oh, I'm sat," joked another fan who was getting ready to sit down for the film.

 

"Can't wait to see them all in this movie," commented an Instagram user.

 

"Even dressed dumpy, she is gorgeous," joked another.

 

In addition to Paper Tiger, Scarlett's been working hard on other pictures over the last year, including her directorial debut, Eleanor the Great, which debuted at this year's Cannes Film Festival. She is also acting in more films, including The Phonecian Scheme and the latest installment of everyone's favorite dinosaur franchise, Jurassic World: Rebirth.
