Scarlett Johansson was born in New York in 1984. She started acting in movies at the age of 10 and came into prominence after her performance in the Robert Redford film The Horse Whisperer when she was 14-years-old.
She transitioned into adult roles with two memorable performance in 2003 in Girl with a Pearl Earring and Sofia Coppola’s much acclaimed Lost in Translation for which she won a BAFTA award for Best Actress in a Leading Role. She was also nominated for Golden Globe Awards for both films.
So, what does Scarlett Johansson have to say for herself off set?
Actually, not very many profound things.
According to what our LifeDaily team has been able to find, her sayings tend to relate only to her work or herself. This does not mean that she does not think deeply about other issues, but, if she does, she keeps those thoughts to herself.
Johansson is considered one of Hollywood’s modern sex symbols, appearing often in published lists of the sexiest women in the world. In both 2006 and 2013, she was named the “Sexiest Woman Alive” by Esquire magazine and she was also chosen by Playboy magazine in 2007 as the “Sexiest Celebrity.”
Surprisingly, Johansson became famously entangled in a political spat in January 2014, when she resigned from her position as Oxfam ambassador after facing criticism for her promotion of SodaStream, whose main factory is in an Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Oxfam opposes all trade with Israeli settlements but Johansson said she and Oxfam “have a fundamental difference of opinion in regards to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement”.
These sayings of Scarlett Johansson, however, give no inkling of her political views:
I mean, it’s nice to get a dinner reservation ahead of other people, but when it comes down to it, the most important thing to me is the actual work.
It’s nice to have a crush on someone. It feels like you’re alive, you know?
LA’s a very hard place to be unless you have people there that love you. It can be very, very lonely, and it can eat you up if you don’t take care of yourself. In LA, nobody wants to talk to each other, everybody’s giving each other catty looks.
I don’t go to McDonald’s anymore. After I saw Super Size Me… no way!
I still eat a burger at a counter with ketchup dripping down my face.
One of the best things for a woman to hear is that she is sexy.
I definitely believe in plastic surgery. I don’t want to be an old hag. There’s no fun in that.
I value my privacy and my personal life – and I certainly don’t exploit my personal life.
I have always… expected a lot from myself.
These tabloid magazines – I think they’re hideous and the downfall of society.
I hope they make a video game of me. At least I wouldn’t have any cellulite then.
I’m not anxious to starve myself. For me, it’s not at all sexy to be ultra-thin.
I’ve always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.
I don’t do damsel in distress very well. It’s hard for me to play a victim.
I’d rather go to the White House Correspondents’ dinner than any awards show.
I just want to work on things that are really hard, and when I’m not working on things that are really hard, I want to hang out with people I like to be with, and that’s it.
There’s no such thing as an aura of mystery anymore. It doesn’t exist. That’s a thing of the past.
