Scarlett Johansson has revealed that her career almost never happened, as she had to suffer a lot of rejection while she was starting out.
The 28-year-old actress said that she took acting and singing and tap and everything, and despite of that she was rejected by a kid's agent for a role in commercials and musicals, the Daily Express reported.
Johansson, who is believed to be worth nearly 35million pounds today, admitted that she was devastated by the rejection and considered it as the end of her career.
The 'Match Point' star, who made her debut at the age of 9, said that she suffered a lot of disappointment when she couldn't get through New York University's film school.
She added that she was probably not accepted as she didn't answer half of the maths questions, adding that she still has the rejection letter.
