Once upon a time, Scarlett Johansson and Jared Leto were an item, yes, really! It feels like a fever dream, but it’s true. The two reportedly dated briefly back in 2004, and their rumored romance is remembered mostly for one infamous paparazzi shot that the internet just can’t let go of.
Years later, Johansson spoke about hitting rock bottom after dating an “emotionally unavailable” guy. Fans are convinced she was throwing shade at Jared Leto, and here’s why!
The picture that turned Scarlett Johansson and Jared Leto’s fling into internet lore!
Back in 2004,Scarlett JohanssonandJared Letosparked dating rumors, though they never officially confirmed their relationship.

Despite the odds already stacked against them, that infamous moment might have been the final nail in the coffin. After that, the duo were never spotted together again. Fans were baffled that Leto had the audacity to ignore someone like Johansson mid-kiss, who hilariously to this day, among other things, fuels some of the sort of irrational hate the internet has for him.
Why everyone thinks it was Jared Leto Scarlett Johansson was calling out
Many believe Scarlett Johansson was throwing subtle shade at Jared Leto during her 2016Cosmopolitaninterview when she described a certain ex as“attractively unavailable.”Fans think Leto fits the bill perfectly, and here’s why.

In the interview, Johansson reflected on a past relationship that left her feeling drained. She said,
Long, long ago, I had someone in my life who was forever unavailable…but, like, so attractively unavailable. You have to get to your breaking point… rock bottom is the moment when you’re like, ‘I’ve lost myself. Why am I standing outside this bar at 1:30 in the morning texting while my friends are inside? Or taking a taxi to see him at some ungodly hour? This isn’t me.’ That is the moment you’ve gotta cut it off. Otherwise, it will keep coming back, suck your blood.
While she didn’t name names, the timing and description have led people to connect the dots, with many convinced she was talking about Leto. After all, their brief fling had all the ingredients of a sort of mismatched connection, and that infamous phone-checking kiss moment doesn’t exactly scream emotional availability.
While some things may never be confirmed, many are pretty convinced she was talking about the Joker actor.
