> “It was tough. There was a lot placed on how women looked,” Johansson said. “What was offered at that time for women my age, as far as acting roles or opportunities, was much slimmer than it is now.”
> Johansson added that there are “much more empowering roles” for young women in 2026 than when she was “in my 20s.” When Johansson was coming up in the industry, she said it was “Slim Pickens.”
> “You would get really pigeon-holed and offered the same [roles]. It would be like the other woman, or the side piece, the bombshell,” she said. “That was the archetype that was prevalent when I was that age.”
These so called stars really have it rough in the spotlight. Critique comes hand in hand with adoration.
It’s still very much a thing, sadly.
She made her millions. Can say these things now comfortably
I don’t think it stopped tbh.
It’s a visual medium. Beautiful people will continue to be rewarded and criticized when they fall short of that.
Not to sound so cold, but that’s reality itself, and it will never ever change.
Yeah that was the norm, crazy too. Remember all the Jessica Simpson stuff, etc?
For someone who made a career on her looks … this is pretty ironic.
Woman who has always been hot as shit laments how tough it was to be judged by looks. More at 11.
(also, it’s still that way, if not more-so)
I mean… yeah? You’re an actress/model. Of course looks matter. Not suggesting it can’t mess with your head but anyone who goes in to entertainment knows this.
Imagine the ones that *didn’t* look like Scarlett Johansson…
She did pretty well. The system worked for her, just like it’s working for Zendaya and other young and beautiful actresses right now. Nothing has changed except that ScarJo has gotten older and no longer benefits from her looks the way she used to.
It was acceptable then. It’s acceptable now, but it was then too.
