Johansson is a talented beauty, who neither runs around Hollywood strung out, nor creates scenes with her family members, festoons her flesh with ill-advised tattoos or publicly disses her directors.
She is talking about how good it is to be ScarJo, telling her Glamour interviewer she is happy to work with what she's got, which isn't too shabby.
“I can’t look at somebody who is 6 feet tall and 120 pounds and say, I’m going to get that body. That’s just never going to happen,” she tells Glamour. “You have to work with what you’ve got.” Scarlett elaborates, “I don’t want to look at the screen and go, Oh, my skin looks terrible, or, I look exhausted. That’s why I take care of myself when I work. But I don’t feel the obligation to be a specific weight. I don’t feel like I have to fit into a body that’s not my body. I have the body I have and I try to maintain it.”
Now married to actor Ryan Reynolds, Scarlett’s privacy and personal space is a key concern, she does not want the fame bug light some of her peers seem to crave.
Her upcoming role in "Iron Man 2" revealed her willingness to get down and dirty: “I wanted to do a lot of my stunts and to be believable as this superspy, so I started getting fit and eating well and feeling really good.”
ScarJo has even carved a respectable music detour, collaborating with Pete Yorn.
