Scarlett Johansson on refusing selfies with fans: It offends a lot of people
Oscar-winning actress Scarlett Johansson agrees she "offends a lot of people" by refusing to take pictures with them when she's not working
- LOS ANGELES — Oscar-winning actress Scarlett Johansson agrees she "offends
a lot of people" by refusing to take pictures with them when she's not
working.
-
- The 40-year-old star is extremely private and says she won't
stop to take pictures with fans if they approach her when she's not working
because she wants to be left alone in her "own thoughts", reports
femalefirst.co.uk.
-
- The “Black Widow” star told InStyle magazine: "It
really offends a lot of people. It doesn't mean I'm not appreciative, of
course, that people are fans, or happy to see me. But I always say to people:
‘I'm not working.' I don't want to be identified as being in this time and
place with you. I'm doing my own thing."
-
- She said she doesn’t like to be “self-conscious.”
-
- The actress added: "I like to be in my own thoughts
that have nothing to do with what other people think of me. I don’t like being
self-conscious."
-
- Johansson went on to reveal she empathises with pop star
Chappell Roan, who has been open about her struggle to deal with life in the
spotlight.
-
- She said: "Like everybody else, I fell in love with her
over the summer. She's very outspoken about how hard it's been to adjust to
fame. It's like heart-throbs. That’s hard. When I was younger, I dated actors
that had heart-throb status. That is, to me, scary.
-
- I don't have that level. Fan crush-dom can be really
hard."
-
- It comes after the actress revealed that turning 40 in
November has been a "liberating" experience because she cares less
about other people's opinions of her.
-
- During an appearance on 'LIVE with Kelly and Mark', she
said: "So far, it’s great ... You also don’t care what anybody thinks,
which is so liberating. It’s so liberating!"
