Scarlett Johansson Says She Was Offered ‘A Lot’ of Roles ‘Revolving’ Around ‘Desirability’ and ‘The Male Gaze’ as a Young Actress: ‘That Is Less Frequent’
Scarlett Johansson says she was offered 'a lot' of roles 'revolving' around 'the male gaze' as a young actress.
In a recent interview with The Times of London, Johansson said that when she first entered the industry, the roles she was offered usually centered around “desirability,” and the goals and needs of her male counterparts. “But when I was younger, a lot of the roles I was offered, or I went for, had their ambitions or character arcs revolving around their own desirability, or the male gaze, or a male-centred story. Back in 2022, the “Avengers” star said she was so “hypersexualized” by the industry at a young age, that she thought it would be impossible to branch out to different types of roles.
