(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Scarlett Johansson believes living life in the public eye is "unfortunate" at times.

The We Bought a Zoo actress is a very private person.

Scarlett is not a fan of having her life narrated in the tabloids.

"The hardest part is actually going through whatever hardship you're facing. Going through it in public is the added unfortunate thing," Scarlett told USA Today.

"There's nothing you can do about that. It's just nice to have kind of a blinder up in that regard. It helps keep you sane. I can't follow all that stuff. It's too exhausting."

Scarlett married actor Ryan Reynolds in 2008 and the couple divorced in July of this year. The actress is unsure whether she will get married again in the future.

"I have no idea," Scarlett declared. "I don't X things off. I don't know. Life is long."

Scarlett is enjoying single life currently. She has no plans to rush into a relationship anytime soon.

"It's been nice to just focus on that and to focus on myself," she said.

"There's something quite refreshing about it."

Whenever she delves into romance in the future, Scarlett will not allow her mate to call her a certain nickname. The term of endearment "ScarJo" is repulsive to the actress.

"Oh, it's awful," Scarlett said. "It's a laziness. People can't actually say the whole name? It's just bizarre. [Actress Cate Blanchett] is not, like, 'CaBla'... Why is that? Why do I have to get stuck?"

We Bought a Zoo will be released in US theatres on December 23. (C) Cover Media
