Scarlett Johansson is now 37-years-old, but she came to fame in her teen years. In a new interview on Dax Shepard’s podcast Armchair Expert , she explained how even then, she knew the way she was being treated was inappropriate. And aging her up considerably.
“I kind of became objectified and pigeonholed in this way where I felt like I wasn’t getting offers for work for things that I wanted to do,” she explained. “I remember thinking to myself, ‘I think people think I’m 40 years old.’ It somehow stopped being something that was desirable and something that I was fighting against.”
Constantly being courted for the same type of roles again and again left Johansson with the impression that there there was a very clear stopping point to her career ahead. “Because I think everybody thought I was older and that I’d been [acting] for a long time, I got kind of pigeonholed into this weird hypersexualized thing,” she continued. “I felt like [my career] was over. It was like: that’s the kind of career you have, these are the roles you’ve played. And I was like, ‘This is it?’”
