Scarlett Johansson has a complicated relationship with her history of taking on roles that highlight her “desirability and sexuality”. Looking back, the 38-year-old actress said she “was kind of being groomed, in a way, to be this what you call a bombshell-type actor,” whether she liked it or not. Despite some perceived upsides, Johansson noted such a niche “burns bright and quick and then it’s done and you don’t have opportunity beyond that”. Ultimately, the actress – who has two Oscar nominations to her name – started “trying to carve a place in different projects and work in great ensembles”. The new remarks elaborate on those Johansson made in October during her appearance on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast.
