She?s always an interesting read, and in Scarlett Johansson's latest interview with Stylist, she unveils how she got started in this whole acting game.
The ?We Bought a Zoo? babe began, ?When I was a child, I auditioned fearlessly and had a lot of courage, and the fact that I am here today is probably testament to my 20 seconds of courage back then. I think in the film industry, you have to have that courage, because actors are asked to do things that are out of their comfort zone all the time, whether that?s hanging on the side of a building or crawling through the woods, or revealing yourself emotionally. You find yourself thinking, ?What am I doing? This is crazy! Oh, the camera is rolling? Oh god, I?m just going to have to wing it.??
And though she puts out a strong, feminine vibe, Scarlett confessed that she can be emotional at times. ?Yes, of course, it?s only human that sometimes some things will get to you. But most of the time I think things happen for a good reason. I know that probably sounds idealistic, but it?s so true. The projects that I have wanted to work on and haven?t got, or when something hasn?t gone right for me, those times have forced me to use my brain in a different kind of way, and to approach things differently. It?s good to have that challenge; it makes you a better actor and a stronger person.?
Johansson also lamented her tendency to be typecast as a ?femme fatale.? ?It?s a little bit annoying to have to justify it, to say that it wasn?t my intention to play that role as a seductress. In Vicky Cristina Barcelona, I don?t think my character is necessarily a femme fatale. She?s free with her sexuality, but she?s not a vixen ? she?s just a confident woman. I think there?s maybe a misconception there; that playing a confident woman is interpreted as you relying on your sexuality.?
Scarlett noted that Tinseltown has a tendency to overly-sexualize ladies at an early age these days. ?Definitely. Way more now than there has been ever before. It seems to be getting younger. You see 16-year-old girls in these photoshoots that are frankly mind-blowing. It seems as if people want to label you as a woman before you really are a woman.?
