On ‘Table for Two’ podcast with Bruce Bozzi, Scarlett Johansson opened up about how she was groomed to become a ‘bombshell actor’, “I kind of became, like, an ingénue. I think because of that trajectory that I had been sort of launched towards, I really got stuck in this. I did ‘Lost in Translation’ and ‘Girl With the Pearl Earring,’ and by that point, I was 18, 19 and I was coming into my own womanhood and learning my own desirability and s*xuality. I was kind of being groomed, in a way, to be this what you call a bombshell-type actor. I was playing the other woman and the object of desire and I suddenly found myself cornered in this place. I couldn’t get out of it.”

Scarlett Johansson further added, “It would be easy to sit across from someone in that situation and go, ‘This is working.’ But for that kind of bombshell, you know, that burns bright and quick and then it’s done and you don’t have opportunity beyond that. It was an interesting, weird conundrum to be in but it really came back to working at it and trying to carve a place in different projects and work in great ensembles.”
Johansson reminded her audience through the podcast that her Black Widow character also had a similar backdrop and trait. She then re-worked on the sketch of her character with director Jon Favreau and Marvel studios head Kevin Feige and made necessary changes.
On the work front, Scarlett Johansson will be seen in Asteroid City and My Mother’s Wedding.
