United Kingdom, May 28 -- Scarlett Johansson couldn't imagine "being with somebody who wasn't funny".

The 40-year-old actress admits that humour is a huge part of her life, and she thinks it can help her to overcome all sorts of challenges.

The Hollywood star - who is married to comedian Colin Jost - told Collider: "My husband's a comedy writer, and I couldn't imagine ever being with somebody who wasn't funny.

"I grew up in a very funny household. My dad is Danish and has a very dry sense of humour, and my mom is Jewish, so that's culturally a big part of our identity. It's certainly a certain kind of humour, and growing up in New York, that's another layer of it, of course. So, I see the ironic humour, also, in terrible things."
