Scarlett Johansson: ‘We Still Live In A Country That’s Sexist & Racist’

Scarlett Johansson may have just gotten married, but the honeymoon’s over for her — at least when it comes to politics.

The “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” star, who wed actor Ryan Reynolds in an intimate ceremony in Vancouver last month, recently told CosmoGirl! magazine that America has a long way to go on the road to equality.

“We still live in a country that’s sexist and racist,” she said. “Those are issues that we deal with whether we want to ignore it or not.”

Full Story

overview

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.
