While filming her upcoming moviePaper Tiger, Johansson, 40, was caught on video yelling at photographers as she tried to work on set. "Move out of the f–king way," the Oscar nominee snapped, shooing a photographer with one hand in a clip obtained byPage Six. Johansson went on to tell the paparazzi to clear the area, saying, "I'm working." "I get that you're working, but let me do my job. Be respectful," she added — proving that her strong work ethic has earned her a top spot in Hollywood. On set, the Marvel star was almost unrecognizable, sporting a short curly wig and oversized glasses instead of her usual long blonde hair. Paper Tiger, an upcoming crime drama, starsAdam DriverandMiles Telleralongside Johansson. This project comes shortly after she was named the highest-grossing lead actor in Hollywood. Just last week, she surpassed Marvel Cinematic Universe starsSamuel L. JacksonandRobert Downey Jr., according to data fromThe Numbers. Her record-breaking success was fueled by the blockbuster opening weekend ofJurassic World: Dominion. The film, which premiered on July 3, earned $147.3 million domestically and $318.3 million worldwide. These figures pushed Johansson's total global box office earnings to a whopping $14.61 billion. Johansson hit this milestone starring in only 36 lead films — less than Jackson's 71 and Downey's 45. Much of her box office dominance comes from her decade-long portrayal of Black Widow in the MCU, starring in blockbusters likeAvengers: Endgame,Infinity War,The AvengersandAge of Ultron. While fans celebrate Johansson's achievement, someone close to her is ready to share in the credit — her husband, comedianColin Jost. Joking about their combined success, he said, "When you think about it, combined, me and her are probably one of the top couples at the box office ever. You know what I mean? And, she's probably doing a little bit more of that lifting, but combined… that could be a huge record, too." Speaking toEntertainment Tonight, Jost added, "I've been in several No. 1 movies. I basically only do No. 1 movies. Tom & Jerry. Perhaps you saw Coming 2 America? How To Be Single. I think those may have all been No. 1 movies? Yet? I don't think the internet has information like that." After some playful banter, he got serious, explaining that "It's crazy. I'm so proud."
