American actor Scarlett Johansson's latest outing 'Marriage Story' follows the dissolution of a marriage, something that she was too familiar with when she began filming for it. Johansson stars as Nicole, an actor who finds her marriage to her husband Charlie, a director, coming to an end. Adam Driver stars as her husband, while Laura Dern plays the role of Nicole's lawyer. In the film, the two also share an 8-year-old son, managing a bi-coastal separation and divorce.

The actor opened up about filming the gritty new breakup drama while going through her own divorce. "I was actually going through a divorce," the 'Avengers' actor told Variety on Thursday at the Venice Film Festival, where the film had its world premiere.
