Scarlett Johansson declines a job to focus on her children, but the aftermath takes an unsettling turn.

Scarlett Johansson refused to take a big job for the sake of her two children.

The Vicky Cristina Barcelona actress thought the move would make her kids uncomfortable and be ‘strange’ for them.

The raspy voiced star – who will turn 40-years-old this year – has daughter Rose Dorothy, nine, with ex-husband Romain Dauriac, and son Cosmo, two, with her husband Colin Jost.

But even after she said no, the pinup was dragged into drama with the company that she found ‘disturbing.’

The job? Voicing OpenAI’s chatbot.

The Lost In Translation star hit headlines earlier this year when she slammed the company behind ChatGPT for launching a new chatbot called Sky with a voice ‘eerily similar’ to her own after she previously turned down an offer to provide the voice herself.

And she’s now insisted she just didn’t want to get involved with the project.

Scarlett told the New York Times: ‘[I] actively avoided being a part of the [AI] conversation, which was what made it so disturbing.

‘I was like, “How did I get wrapped up in this?” It was crazy. I was so angry,’ said the star who provided the inviting voice of Samantha in the 2013 film Her with Joaquin Phoenix.

‘I felt I did not want to be at the forefront of that. I just felt it went against my core values. I don’t like to kiss and tell.

‘He [OpenAI CEO Sam Altman] came to me with this and I didn’t tell anybody except my husband … I also felt for my children it would be strange.’

She then added: ‘I try to be mindful of them.’

The 39-year-old actress went on to warn of the dangers of deepfake technology, describing it as a ‘dark wormhole you can never climb your way out of.’

She added: ‘Once you try to take something down in one area, it pops up somewhere else. There are other countries that have different legislation and rules.

‘If your ex-partner is putting out revenge, deepfake porn, your whole life can be completely ruined,’ she added.

‘I think technologies move faster than our fragile human egos can process it, and you see the effects all over, especially with young people,’ explained Scarlett.

‘This technology is coming like a thousand-foot wave.’

Scarlett previously declared she was ‘shocked’ and ‘angered’ over the choice of voice for the chatbot.
