Scarlett Johansson underwent therapy before The Ghost in the Shell

London: Scarlett Johansson says she agreed to do the film 'The Ghost in the Shell' only after she consulted her therapist.

The 32-year-old actress, who recently got divorced from second husband Romain Dauriac and has a two-year-old daughter, Rose, wanted to undergo therapy before she took up the role in the Rupert Sanders film, reported Event magazine.

"I'd had my daughter a couple of months before and it just seemed like an enormous undertaking. But something about it was enigmatic and I sat on it and discussed it in therapy. It was on my mind," said Johansson.

'The Avengers' star features as a major in the live-action remake of the Japanese manga tale.
