Scarlett Johansson Embarrassed By Hoopla Over Obama E-Mails
Scarlett Johansson can laugh about it now, but the actress says she was embarrassed by the media coverage of her so-called “e-mail relationship” with Barack Obama.
“It seemed to me to be like a product of extreme sexism, and I kept thinking to myself, ‘God, if this was just, like, Kal Penn or George Clooney or any of the other (Obama) surrogates or supporters … there wouldn’t be (any) question about it. Nobody would even talk about it,” she said.
Full StoryOverview
One of the hottest young actresses in Hollywood today, Scarlett Johansson has been acting since she was eight but it wasn’t until her well-received performance in 1998’s “The Horse Whisperer” that she began to gain critical attention.
By 2003, she had two Golden Globe nominations to her credit — one for giving her most memorable performance, starring opposite Bill Murray in “Lost in Translation.”
She followed up “Translations” with the less successful Michael Bay action film “The Island,” and then Woody Allen’s critically-acclaimed “Match Point” in 2006, which earned her a fourth Golden Globe nomination.
She has been romantically linked to a variety of actors including Jared Leto, Josh Hartnett and most recently, Ryan Reynolds.
