Last year, Scarlett offered a role in the RUB & Tug film, where she could play the head of the Broteos of Dante Gilla, who was born a woman, but feels like a man. As a result, journalists and bloggers put pressure on the star, insisting on the fact that this role should get transgender actress. As a result, Johansson spoke out against a politically correct casting. She stated that art should be free and to her as actress should be allowed to play any person.
Now I understand that incorrectly appreciated the situation. I issued my first reaction, but I did not understand how the transgender community refers to actors playing transgender. I was unequal in this regard. It was hard. I was very worried, I felt like I can't hear something important
- said Johansson in an interview with Vanity Fair.
Scarlett also commented on his position against Woody Allen. Recall, the scandal broke out around the director because the receptional daughter accused Allen in harassment. And Johansson supported the director and said that she still agreed to work with him.
Sometimes I feel in a vulnerable position, because I express my opinion and carry my truth and my own experience. I know that people can somehow misunderstand, somehow respond. But, I think, to restrain myself what you are and afraid of someone else's reaction is also dangerous,
- said the star.
Finally, the actress told that he felt when the role of black widow was originally offered Emily Blante:
I was then with my husband. We seem to be in some hotel. I was called and everyone said, I was very upset. Well, that's all. Life continued. In addition, I have a lot of experience in obtaining failures.
