Before Scarlett Johansson, 37, and musician Jack Antonoff, 38, made it big, they struck up a romance around 2001 while attending NYC's Professional Children’s School. The unexpected duo even went to prom together, though a source claimed the actress called it off shortly after graduation as she began her Hollywood career.

The musician hinted at their fallout in Steel Train's tune "Better Love," which contains lyrics like "Scars are in her name / And she scars me with blame / Hey Scarlett, you're not the same." Ouch!

My instant thought was 'What did you just do?'" he recalled. "We talked and decided to break off the engagement. It was messed up."
