When Scarlett Johansson Was Rejected For A $239 Million Success Because She’s ‘Too S*xy’; Director Couldn’t Refrain From Confessing “You Can’t Wait For Her To Take Her Clothes Off”

‘If looks could kill’ is the apt quote for Hollywood’s biggest box office star, Scarlett Johansson. Famously known as the Black Widow, the 38-year-old beauty has been termed the ‘s*x symbol’ of Hollywood. And that’s precisely why David Fincher took the unexpected step, and she was rejected for one of his movies despite a good audition. Scroll below for more details!

We’re talking about The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. The 2011 mystery thriller starred Daniel Craig, Rooney Mara in the leading roles. It was made on a reported budget of $90 million and earned a massive $232.6 million at the box office. A critical and commercial success could have seen Scarlett as Lisbeth Salander, but destiny had its own plans!

David Fincher spoke about The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo auditions and told Vogue, “We flew in people from New Zealand and Swaziland and all over the place. Look, we saw some amazing people. Scarlett Johansson was great. It was a great audition, I’m telling you. But the thing with Scarlett is, you can’t wait for her to take her clothes off.”
