Johansson shared that her first concert was a performance by Cypress Hill at New York City's now-closed Roseland Ballroom.

"I’m still buzzing from it, man. I am," the Black Widow actress said.

She went on to add, "I must have gone with a friend. I don’t remember, because I was so high… I think it was at Roseland."

Johansson recalled, "And I remember they rolled this huge blunt that was like this big. It was like the size of a Blimpie sub. And they smoked it on stage, all the members of the band."

"Those were the days, man," the Fly Me to the Moon actress noted.

Furthermore, Scarlett Johansson also shared another candid detail about herself, stating that she has intense dislike for cockroaches.

Johansson said, "I hate cockroaches. Like, I really, really, really, really, hate them."

Moreover, she also shared that she was grossed out by "water bugs."

"So disgusting. Not only do you have a disgusting water, cockroach-looking thing but it files. And it's aggressive. It like, goes for you," Johansson said, calling them "an insect from hell."
