American actress Scarlett Johansson participated in the Oscars ceremony in 2015 wearing a green Versace gown and holding a breast pump tucked into her purse. The Captain America, 32, actress admitted in a recent interview that with a 5-month-old daughter at home, she couldn’t afford to attend the ceremony without it.
“I was nursing and every ounce is like liquid gold,” she said of carefully sticking to a regular pumping schedule, a task breastfeeding mothers must adhere to regularly.
Johansson added “Somehow, Mark Consuelos got ahold of my breast pump — in a bag with all the milk, ice packs in there, and s--t. He grabbed it out of my hand.”
The 45-year-old actor, who attended the awards show with his wife, Kelly Ripa, was trying to lend a hand by carrying the purse. “Our cars got separated. Apparently, Kelly looked over, and she was like, ‘Wait a minute — is that Scarlett’s breast pump? We’ve got to get it back!’ because she knew how panicked I would be. We finally ended up at the same party three hours later, and Mark was like, ‘I’m so sorry.’”
