Celebrity Flashback: Eva Mendes & Scarlett Johansson
By Allie | August 18, 2008
Here’s a film featuring Scarlett Johansson at 13. I had never heard of My Brother the Pig, and so upon checking out the clip I was (pleasantly?) surprised to not only see Scarlett doing her 13-year-old thing, but also early Eva Mendez before she changed her last name to Mendes. Better yet, she’s playing Johansson’s nanny Matilda with a thick Spanish accent. Thankfully Mendes eventually grew up and became hot, removing her from a Hollywood life full of playing the nanny for rich white folk.
My Brother the Pig sort of reminds me of Adventures in Babysitting, except one sibling was accidentally turned into a pig and there’s no male teenager to crush on Johansson or her almost-but-not-quite-hot-yet nanny Eva Mendes (ie: This isn’t the Johansson threesome you want to see).
Also making an appearance as the clueless dad? Yup, Judge Reinhold! You know it’s bad when the six different pigs used in the film are credited on the movie’s IMDb page. Damn, I can probably do another 500-1000 words on this sick flick, but I’d rather stop here and let you enjoy the clip above.
