Random Acts

Random Acts: Scarlett Johansson plays charades, Ali Larter goes boar hunting and Amber Heard… God knows what Amber Heard is up to

Scarlett Johansson plays charades on Jimmy Fallon's show

Normally, Scarlett Johansson would clean up in the ‘random acts’ stakes by her slightly random decision to play charades with Jimmy Fallon, Tariq from The Roots and Drake. I mean, who would have seen that coming?

She even tried to do interviews in a New Jersey accent for an extra bit of random.

But surprisingly, Ali Larter came out of left field to temporarily steal the lead by talking about her experiences of boar hunting in Germany:

“It was a very traumatic experience for me. But it’s ceremonial, and they roast it and it’s a whole thing. So I did try it.”

And, again, normally that would be enough to get our Ali the title in the random prize fight. But then Amber Heard, currently here in London – Brixton to be exact, obviously relishing our delightful Autumn weather as she films an adaptation of Martin Amis’s London Fields – decided to bring along an entourage so random, it blew everyone else out of the water.

No, I have no idea what’s going on here.
