Scarlett Johansson's Bombshell Interview Includes Some Highly Divisive Statements
Between joining the Marvel Universe and starring in Oscar-nominated movies, Scarlett Johansson is one of the most famous faces in Hollywood. She’s been a part of the acting world since she was young and managed to make the tricky transition from child star to A-lister. After so much time in the spotlight, Johansson is unafraid to speak her mind, highlighted by one recent interview about her heartbreak, career ambitions, and a major entertainment controversy.
Self-awareness
In 2020, Scarlett acknowledged that she sometimes could make trouble for herself. She reflected, "I can be reactive. I can be impatient. That doesn't mix that great with self-awareness," she said. "I mean, everyone has a hard time admitting when they're wrong about stuff, and for all of that to come out publicly, it can be embarrassing.”
Blossoming career
It's no secret why there's so much attention on her. From an early age, Scarlett loved going to the theater, where she "disappeared into those movies and took on those characters." Soon, she started acting. Critics recognized the 13-year-old's talent in the movie The Horse Whisperer, and her career would only blossom as she grew older. In 2003, two projects that catapulted her to fame: Lost in Translation and Girl with a Pearl Earring.
Talented directors
Scarlett kept working. These successes gave her the opportunity to work with directors like Brian De Palma, best known for Scarface and Mission: Impossible. When he told the story of the Black Dahlia in 2006, he ensured Johansson was a part of the project.
Oscar nods
Another huge year for the actor was 2019 when her films Marriage Story and Jojo Rabbit were released. When these films brought her two Oscar nods in the same year, she joined an exclusive club: Scarlett was the 12th actor to receive double nominations in the same Academy Awards season.
