Scarlett Johansson thinks Channing Tatum is in good company.
The Black Widow star shared that she was pleasantly surprised to discover that the Step Up actor was dating Zoe Kravitz when she started filming the movie Fly Me to the Moon with Channing.
"I feel like that was news when we first started working," Scarlett recalled in an exclusive interview with E! News. "I was like, 'Wait, no, you're dating one of my favorite people. She's so great.'"
In fact, the Oscar winner, 39, noted she's developed her own close relationship with Zoë—who confirmed her engagement to Channing in October 2023—after working together on the 2017 comedy Rough Night.
"I love his fiancée," Scarlett continued. "We've made a film together like several years ago. She's a wonderful person." (For more from Scarlett, tune in to E! News tonight, June 25 at 11 p.m.)
As for Channing, he's equally a fan of Scarlett's husband Colin Jost, who she tied the knot with in 2020. Case in point: One of the scenes from Fly Me to the Moon—which tells the story of the budding romance between a marketing executive and a NASA official as he prepares for the Apollo 11 moon landing—that stands out most for the Magic Mike alum includes a cameo from the SNL comedian.
"It's lowkey kind of one of my favorite scenes in the movie," Channing told E!, "because it's a little bit more pushed, like, comedy-wise and tonally than the rest of the movie... Yeah, it's fun."
Scarlett—who shares daughter Rose, 9, with ex-husband Romain Dauriac, and son Cosmo, 2, with Colin—commended her husband's performance in the film as well.
"He's up for whatever," the actress gushed. "He just comes on the day and is, like, throwing out all this craziness."
Fly Me to the Moon hits theaters July 12. While you wait, read on for the full rundown on Channing and Zoë's love story.
