Scarlett Johansson: ‘Sex Symbol Thing is a Phase’
Scarlett Johansson hopes she’ll grow out of being labeled a sex symbol.
The Vicky Cristina Barcelona star - who married actor Ryan Reynolds in a secret ceremony earlier this year - wants to eventually be praised her for her acting abilities rather than her good looks.
Scarlett, 24, tells the London Times newspaper, “I never expected that kind of thing, to be honest. I think that comes with my age, the whole sex-symbol thing. I’ll grow out of that. It’s a phase. And people want to turn you into merchandise in some way, don’t they?
“I look forward to growing in the industry and aging in the industry. A lot of actresses take their meatiest roles in their thirties and forties. And I’m looking forward to that.
“I’m at a little bit of a funny age where I get that ’sexiest woman’ thing, and it feels like a label for right now. But maybe when I get older, it won’t be like that.”

Maybe if Scarlet stopped flashing her tits and ass around every two seconds, people wouldn’t slap her with the “sex symbol” title.

I personally can’t stand Scarjo..I don’t think she is that pretty, and the way she is always talking about how great her boobs are make me sick!! Oh, and i don’t think she is a good actress either, but she does have a big ego

I’d like to have material to praise her for her acting more than her boobs… looks, sorry.

I don’t care what she says, how she acts, her boobs are BIG and she is pretty.

I think she’s pretty as a blonde when she’s all dolled up, but at other times, she looks average. Great body, though. If she didn’t want to be known as a sex symbol, she should keep her clothes on. She’s just like Jessica Alba. They seem to think they deserve the respect that actresses like Cate Blanchett and Meryl Streep get. I’m not saying Cate or Meryl have never done a sexy spread, but at least they can actually ACT!

She looks like an inbred redneck cracker, like Tonya Harding’s less-talented younger sister.

Sure thing.
I don’t want to be a millionaire and live in a house with a gold plated toilet.
Shut up and act!
Stop making crappy music albums too. What a waster of valuable CD space.
