From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It is routine for actors to get bored of, well, acting, and use their privileged position to try their hand at other endeavours. But while these typically short-lived toe-dipping-endeavours tend to take the erudite form of directing, screenwriting, music and art, Scarlett Johansson has decided to pursue a less well-trodden path and turn her attentions to the food industry.
The 31-year-old actor, who is known for her roles in Lost In Translation and Girl With A Pearl Earring is opening a popcorn shop in Paris and will even be doing the honours of serving the customers herself. Jumping on the latest food fad, Johansson’s shop will serve gourmet popcorn in an array of flavours, including everything from real Vermont cheddar to truffle, parmesan and sage.
Johansson’s business venture has been launched alongside her French husband Romain Dauriac and it is Dauriac's sister who will manage the shop.
The shop, which has been christened Yummy Pop, will be located in the heart of the Marais in the French city. If it is indeed successful they hope to expand and open up several others.
Johansson’s shop will have a so-called “soft opening” this Saturday and close until its grand opening sometime in the near future.
