Scarlett Johansson believes she has missed out on roles because she is perceived as a sexy actress. She says she isn’t just a sexy person and is able to transform into different characters, so she feels it’s a shame she has been typecast in the way in the past. Scarlett candidly says it is something she has encountered already in her line of work, and she wishes people would be more open to a challenge:
”That has happened to me before, yeah. That’s always an unfortunate thing to figure out, ‘Why can’t you see?!’ For me, I would imagine when casting someone, you would want to challenge yourself in some way. It is so interesting to see actors transform. There are certainly plenty of times when I am definitely not sexy.’
Speaking on her diet, Scarlett says she isn’t as strict as many other actresses. She likes to treat herself to cake or a glass of wine from time to time, but she tries to eat as healthy as possible and avoids meat and dairy. She also tries to work out when she can to maintain her shape:
”I live a relatively healthy lifestyle, I think. I’m not overly strict. I like to go out and enjoy myself and drink a couple of glasses of wine and stay out late occasionally and eat a slice of cake. I work out and eat well most of the time and try to get some rest. [I eat] lots of kale. I try to stay away from meat and dairy and foods like that.”
