Inside Jake Johnson and Erin Payne's 20-Year Relationship

In June 2018, Johnson spoke to GQ about how he balances his work obligations with his personal life. "Taking jobs, especially when you have kids, is such a commitment," he said. Because of this, Johnson thinks twice before accepting jobs that require him to be away from home. For example, he almost turned down doing "The Mummy" in 2017. Although he eventually decided to do the movie, he said it was a "big, weird decision" that wouldn't become a regular thing. "Once it ended, I felt like, 'Well, that was a really unique four months. I'm not sure I ever need to do something like this again,'" he said.
