Scarlett Johansson: Curvy Women are Super-Sexualized

Scarlett Johansson has said that her "bombshell" persona is a result of the way curvy women are portrayed.
The actress, who stars as Janet Leigh in upcoming biopic Hitchcock, appeared in a photo shoot for Elle UK's February issue and spoke out about how her figure has earned her a reputation.

She said: "I think any woman who is curvy and wears a gown to an event is, like, super-sexualised."
Johansson said despite her age, her shape earned her comments in the media from the outset of her career.
"I mean, at the time I was 18, 19. I was young," she explained. "I've always been curvy. It runs in the family. "Throw on an evening frock and it's like all of a sudden you have boobs and everyone is like, 'Bombshell!'"

She added: "Instantly it was 'The new Marilyn'.

The 28-year-old also spoke of her marriage to Ryan Reynolds, which lasted two years from 2008 to 2010, saying she enjoyed the experience but the concept was not important to her.

She said: "I got married when I was young and it was incredibly romantic and I liked being married, actually. But it is different.

"To me, being in a functioning relationship doesn't mean you have to be married. I never think about marriage.


During her relationship with Reynolds, Johansson's phone was hacked and private photographs were circulated online, something she called a "crazy time".

"I had some problems in my family and publicly, my relationship - all that stuff. It was like, 'Oh man, what next?'

"But life has ebbs and flows, don't you think?" she added.

shangman 30th-Dec-2012 08:18 pm (UTC)
I think so, these pictures don't show it too well though
pineandapple 30th-Dec-2012 08:18 pm (UTC)
She used to be curvier, I guess.
vampireweekend 30th-Dec-2012 08:19 pm (UTC)
you can be curvy @ any size tho
poisonfield 1st-Jan-2013 03:20 am (UTC)
I hate how curvy is now a PC term for plus-size /rant
fred2265 30th-Dec-2012 08:21 pm (UTC)
I think so...
theblackwidow 30th-Dec-2012 08:22 pm (UTC)
She used to have really big boobs and nice hips. She still has my dream body thb but this doesn't look like your typical waifish Hollywood actress (which my body is much closer to lol)



Not my commentary OFC
georgie_georgie 30th-Dec-2012 08:44 pm (UTC)
yes.
champagnexdream 30th-Dec-2012 09:47 pm (UTC)
She has a curvy body type, yes.
pistol_eyes 30th-Dec-2012 10:07 pm (UTC)
Not to me.
itspokerface 30th-Dec-2012 11:42 pm (UTC)
I think she used to be curvier
bellwetherr 31st-Dec-2012 12:22 am (UTC)
she fluctuates, tbh. when she's promoting and filming, she's much thinner but when she's off she gains a bit of weight which gives her a bit more curve.
panicqueen_ 31st-Dec-2012 12:43 pm (UTC)
ikr? Biiiiitch u ain't keeeerrr-veeehhh

I'm so tired of this shit, it's like she doesn't have any Hollywood identity outside of her "curvy persona" and that just ain't happenin'.
mjspice 31st-Dec-2012 04:34 pm (UTC)
I think she got thinner tho.
poop_of_death 30th-Dec-2012 08:17 pm (UTC)
No man at any time anywhere should ever find a woman attractive at all. If they do they're a sexist.

reginageorge 30th-Dec-2012 08:18 pm (UTC)
iawtc i don't want men to look @ me ever tbh
poop_of_death 30th-Dec-2012 08:19 pm (UTC)
No one should look at you. It's disgusting to find anything attractive or appealing and down right piggish. You should gain weight and stop showering.
mynamehere07 30th-Dec-2012 08:31 pm (UTC)
The last time a man looked at me, I chopped off his penis.
kwikimart 30th-Dec-2012 08:32 pm (UTC)
I really don't understand the point of your comments these days.
Are you making fun of the reactionary trolls on here or do you genuinely believe women have no right to complain about being sexualised?

There's a difference between having men find you attractive in their heads and them going out of their way to make you a sex object no matter what you do e.g. even when you are dressed down or doing something where they shouldn't be focusing on your looks

i'd kill for her body :(
theblackwidow 30th-Dec-2012 08:19 pm (UTC)
I do agree with her. She is really hot tho. I fell in love with her this year after she didn't take misogynistic BS and she campaigned for Obama.
vampireweekend 30th-Dec-2012 08:19 pm (UTC)
she lights up my life

crazyfruitlady 30th-Dec-2012 08:19 pm (UTC)
All pretty people are super-sexualised in some way. If it's not boobs it's legs, or hair, or lips, or a six pack, or an arse, or a bulge. This is not unique to women with big boobs.
ms_mmelissa 30th-Dec-2012 08:19 pm (UTC)
Ugh, it's so true. Sucks having boobs and being curvy.
poop_of_death 30th-Dec-2012 08:20 pm (UTC)
OH POOR YOU I know girls who would kill for that
pineandapple 30th-Dec-2012 08:22 pm (UTC)
Ikr. I'll give you my pancakes anyday, anytime.
hisjulliet 30th-Dec-2012 09:07 pm (UTC)
well they can have mine then. I hate guys staring at them and getting back pain
crazyfruitlady 31st-Dec-2012 12:21 am (UTC)
OH POOR THEM. I know girls who would kill for a flat chest.
theblackwidow 30th-Dec-2012 08:24 pm (UTC)
I kinda wish I had boobs. My body is really petite and my sister tells me it is unattractive all the time.
expromqueen 30th-Dec-2012 08:26 pm (UTC)
i have big boobs but i want someone to take some of my boob fat and put it in my butt lol...i don't like having big boobs cause when i wear a sweater or a jacket i feel fat
cityxpretty 30th-Dec-2012 08:40 pm (UTC)
The grass is always greener.
fabouluz 30th-Dec-2012 09:54 pm (UTC)
I only have one boob so cry harder
bioshe 5th-May-2013 02:48 am (UTC)
Yeah I have big boobs but a flat butt. Sometimes I hate it but now I just own it. It's just a bit tough to dress for my body type cause I'm a pencil with tits.
madcowre 30th-Dec-2012 08:19 pm (UTC)
She's so gorgeous and makes me feel good about my own body.

I want her boobs. Mine are too big and it sucks.
pineandapple 30th-Dec-2012 08:21 pm (UTC)
I get where she's coming from, because she always gets to play the bombshell, the hot blonde who seduces every guy (Woody Allen movies), but idk, I like to be sexualized, just not objectified.
vampireweekend 30th-Dec-2012 08:22 pm (UTC)
mte i don't mind being viewed as sexy (shit it gives me extra confidence) just don't make me an object
stephaniebrown 30th-Dec-2012 08:28 pm (UTC)
ia. being seen as sexy or w/e gives me a weird confidence boost, but i am nhf being objectified.
beatlesluv 30th-Dec-2012 08:54 pm (UTC)
Embrace it, own it IMO. When I walk I often feel my power, I can feel my body move (my curves, my confidence etc) and I am comfortable with that. It's good to love yourself and be confident. After all, society spends so much time and money saying what's wrong with us (at varying levels according to race and class), that it's good to be in charge of our bodies and how we feel about them.
swissbeauty23 30th-Dec-2012 08:42 pm (UTC)
same
cityxpretty 30th-Dec-2012 08:49 pm (UTC)
Yeah , I don't care. Anyone who would be gross about it can fuck off. It's more of an issue for them, not me. I'm not a celeb though so maybe it's different.
beatlesluv 30th-Dec-2012 08:50 pm (UTC)
Yes. I embrace my sexuality, I like turning heads (not ashamed to admit it), but I don't want to be objectified either. I don't want that to be all people see - go ahead and find me sexy when you see me but know that I'm approachable and I have a brain between behind my pretty face/between my ears.
expromqueen 30th-Dec-2012 08:21 pm (UTC)
she's got a nice body but that second pic isn't showing it off very well...idk maybe it's just off photoshopping

I dyed mine red for my Black Widow costume for Halloween and it was the best decision I made all year (I made terrible decisions this year). I decided to keep it.
