And I say “still too sexy” because duh, don’t you remember the interview she did way, way back in May (May! Of 2012!) saying that she never wanted to be a sex symbol in Hollywood, and how she tries just so hard not to sexualize every single character she plays, but fails endlessly because her sultry sexuality just seeps through her flimsy sex filter. Because yeah. She’s doing the same interview all over again with next month’s Marie Claire, where she—surprise, surprise—talks all about how she’s too sexy for movies. From MC UK:
Avengers star Scarlett Johansson has said that she thinks her good looks have been holding her back and stop her getting offered meatier roles.
Scarlett Johansson says she regularly misses out on parts because movie execs think of her as ‘too sexy’.
Talking about her experiences of getting turned down for work, red hot Scarlett revealed: ‘That has happened to me before, yeah. That’s always an unfortunate thing to figure out. “Why can’t you see?!” For me, I would imagine casting someone, you would want to challenge yourself in some way.’
‘It is so interesting to see actors transform. There are certainly plenty of times when I am definitely not sexy.’
If you missed it, this is what girlfriend had to say the last go-round of “I’m so pretty, blah blah blah”:
I never wanted to be a sex symbol, I wanted to be a character actor. Those are the actors I mostly admire. I think women that are curvy can be pigeonholed in that bombshell thing. It’s not like I actively look for sexy roles. It’s not a requirement that my character be pretty and delicate. I never think about my character being sexy, unless that’s written in.
Boy. The crosses some people have to bear, you know?
Oh WAH!!! Girl needs to just shut-up! she is not exactly Meryl Streep in the acting department and sweetie in a few years you wont get the “pretty and delicate” acting jobs you will get to play their mother!
