Scarlett Johansson admits she puts pressure on her fiancé to change as a person.

The 'Don Jon' actress is set to marry French former journalist Romain Dauriac soon, but says she - like many other people - has to work hard to understand and respect who he is as a person, rather than try and change him into the man she would ideally like him to be.

She said: "I can certainly relate to this habit of wanting your partner to just kind of fit into this mould you've made for them. We do place pressure on somebody to just do it the way we think it should be done.

"It takes a lot of growth and searching to understand that it is the differences in relationships that enrich and strengthen the relationship; that help us evolve as people and partners. I understand that conviction - I know that is something I am guilty of."

Johansson is very happy in her personal and professional life at the moment.

The 29-year-old actress - who was previously married to Ryan Reynolds - is particularly happy in her career and feels blessed to be able to do something she loves for a living.

Speaking to Marie Claire magazine, she explained: "I think I've always been, by nature, a happy person. You know, everybody has their moments, but I do what I love and my job is very satisfying and I get paid to do it. I live in New York, I live in Paris, I get to travel a lot. I work with people I admire. How can I complain?"
