Last year, Scarlett Johansson headed the list of the most highly paid Hollywood actresses. But on the way to success, she had to receive many failures.
From the young age, I was constantly rejected. First you refuse to role, but then they call and still offer it. You can say, I built my career, being a "number two option",
- Share Scarlett.
Johansson played a black widow in the MARVEL film, but initially another actress was appointed to this role. Scarlett was invited to be filmed when Emily Blunt refused role because of her rigid graphics.
Johansson also tried to the role of Lisbeth Solander in the film "Girl with a Dragon Tattoo", but according to The Hollywood Reporter, Director David Fincher "was too distracted by her sexual attractiveness."
She was excellent. Listening perfectly, I assure you. But in the case of Scarlett, you will be waiting for it to be undressed in the frame,
- noted Fincher.
Earlier in a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter Scarlett Johansson said that the directors saw her only in one light.
In 20 years and even in adolescence, when I just started to shoot, I realized that I became hypersexual in the eyes of people. It seemed normal to all, but it was very distinguished from my inner sensations. I did not understand how to get rid of the role of a naive beauty or a fatal woman, because it was not at all what I wanted. I thought maybe I need another work in this industry, more satisfying. In terms of roles it seemed that it was just nowhere to go
- Shared actress and admitted that even thought to leave the movies.
