"He killed it!" Johansson said of Jost's proposal. "He did like a whole James Bond situation. He's surprising. He's got a lot behind that news desk that he's hiding ... [He's] very charming and very thoughtful and romantic.

"I was surprised," she added. "Even if you kind of imagine what that moment's going to be like, it's a beautiful moment."

Johansson didn't share the specifics of Jost's proposal but said the moment was very meaningful.

"It was very personal," she said. "It was a very special moment. I think more than anything, when someone tells you they want to share the rest of their life with you, that's just a lovely, special thing."

Johansson and Jost got engaged in May. Johansson showed off her 11-carat engagement ring during an appearance at San Diego Comic-Con in July.
