Scarlett Johansson Was Offered ‘Sex Object’ Roles ‘For Years’ After ‘Lost in Translation,’ Says Bill Murray Was in a ‘Hard Place’ on Set: ‘Life Has Humbled Him’ Now
Scarlett Johansson says Bill Murray was in a "hard place" on the set of "Lost in Translation" and not in a good "headspace."
“After ‘Lost in Translation,’ every role that I was offered for years was ‘the girlfriend,’ ‘the other woman,’ a sex object—I couldn’t get out of the cycle,” Johansson said. Johansson would not go into specifics but did say “Bill was in a hard place” during the film’s production, adding: “Everybody was on tenterhooks around him, including our director and the full crew, because he was dealing with his… stuff.” I think life has humbled him,” Johansson said, confirming she was partly referring to his behavior on the set of the 2022 movie “Being Mortal” that resulted in the project being shut down.
