Scarlett Johansson’s red carpet moment in 2006 became viral when fans noticed a woman disappearing behind her.
The disappearing woman turned out to be Johansson’s own mother, as revealed during an interview with Jimmy Fallon.
Johansson’s worst red carpet experience involved a wardrobe malfunction, resulting in her dress splitting open and requiring frequent repairs throughout the night.

Over the course of her career, Scarlett Johansson has had lots of memorable moments, especially on the red carpet. However, some moments did more harm than good. An example was when a dress almost ruined Scarlett Johansson’s reputation in Hollywood, given that it was made by Harvey Weinstein’s ex-wife.

Nonetheless, Johansson managed to escape those storms, though there was another eerie red carpet moment fans never got over. In the following, we’re going to turn back the clock, taking a look at what went down in 2006 prior to the Golden Globes. It would appear as though a mysterious disappearance took place in the back of Johansson.

We’ll reveal what she had to say about the moment, and the fan theories about what would take place. In addition, we’ll reveal Johansson’s most regrettable red carpet moment ever.

Let’s get started.

Fans Noticed A Woman Disappearing In The Back Of Scarlett Johansson On The Red Carpet
We turn back the clock to this moment in 2006 at the Weinstein Golden Globes Party. The night featured some of the best Hollywood has to offer, including the great Scarlett Johansson. The actress looked stunning in a red dress. However, the discussion was all about something else – an eerie situation that took place in the background during Scarlett’s red carpet interview. It seems like a woman pᴀsses Scarlett Johansson and as she goes in behind her, she just suddenly disappears.

Credit to Jimmy Fallon for bringing this up during their interview. Fallon asks Johansson about the situation, and it takes quite the plot twist as Johansson reveals the disappearing woman is none other than her mom.

Fallon says, “I wanted to ask you something. It’s a clip that’s viral of you being interviewed on the red carpet in 2006. I don’t know if you remember this story. A woman walks behind you, and it looks like she fully disappears. Watch the video, it is real. Take a look at this.”

After watching the video, Johansson has a hilarious reaction. She says, “Oh my God, that is my mom. That’s my mom. I’ve been looking for her for the last 15 years. That’s very strange, that’s fully my mom. Where did she go?”

Fallon has a blast with Scarlett’s line about not seeing her mom for the last 15 years, and storms away from his desk in laughter. The memorable moment can be seen in the video below at the start.

Fans can also check out the short of Fallon and Johansson discussing the moment on the Tonight Show.

A very memorable moment, but of course, fans had theories as to what went down.

Fans On YouTube Have Theories As To What Took Place With Scarlett Johansson And The Missing Woman
It took awhile for fans to notice the disappearing lady in the background. However, once it went viral, fans had several theories as to what took place.

One fan wrote, “The lady is still there. She stopped behind Scarlett and the man walked by while the woman remained perfectly behind Scarlett. You can see to the right of Scarlett’s head the woman’s shadow of her hair.”

Another fan shares a similar perspective, “Regarding the “disappearing woman”: There’s at least six feet of space between ScarJo and the wall. The woman just walked towards the wall and is blocked by ScarJo. You can even see the shadow of her hair. Part of the problem is that the camera’s depth of field is deceptive: the rear wall is in focus and has no depth cues unless someone is standing right next to it, so it appears far closer than it is and it seems like there’s no space for someone to be occluded by ScarJo.”

Other comments were less bothered about what had taken place, and were instead praising Scarlett Johansson for her stunning red carpet look. Johansson’s appearance on the night became iconic, and among her top looks ever.

Now, despite all the ‘controversy’ to unfold, this wasn’t anywhere near Johansson’s worst red carpet experience. That moment took place on a different date, and would lead to quite a mess for the actress and her dress on the night.

It Was Far From Scarlett Johansson’s Worst Moment On A Red Carpet
Speaking alongside E News, Scarlett Johansson revealed her worst red carpet nightmare. The moment took place because of an unexpected wardrobe malfunction.

The actress revealed, “Right before I got on the red carpet, my entire dress split open and then every time I had to pee, I had to get cut out of the dress and resewed into it,” she described. “So yeah, not a lot of fluids that night.”

It turned out to be a tough night for the actress…
