Scarlett Johansson is thrilled about her private September wedding to Ryan Reynolds.

“It was my mission to have a moment of privacy, to do something for myself,” she says in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. “I was happy with the results of that.”

Johansson — who’s currently starring in The Spirit — says she secretly spent all summer planning the nuptials, which were held Sept. 27 in a remote wilderness resort outside Vancouver.

The actress also reveals that she looks up to Drew Barrymore, with whom she filmed He’s Just Not That Into You (out in February).

“[Barrymore and her producing partner, Nancy Juvonen] make movies that they like, that they’re proud of, that people love, that is entertaining,” she says. “I would love to be able to do that someday, have a production company and encourage other directors and writers to follow their vision.”

(Johansson is also considering releasing a second album after her first, Anywhere I Lay My Head, topped the Billboard Heatseekers chart this past spring.)

The 24-year-old says she “looks forward to the opportunity” aging will bring to play more complex roles.

“I feel like the hype that comes with being young in the industry will kind of dissipate and that there are some really good roles in my future,” she says.

“Then again, I say that as an actor who thinks every job is their last job,” she adds.

Johansson says she was born to act.

“I was a real ham when I was a child, one of those jazz-hands kids,” she says. She took voice lessons and began studying at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York City at age 7.

Most recently, she’s starred in three Woody Allen movies — and she admits she’d do any job on set just to be around him.

“I would do Woody’s shoeshine,” she says. “I’m lucky to be able to fit into that young-woman category in his mind, so I hope he keeps writing for young women. I think he will.”
