Scarlett Johansson, 37, said in a recent interview that despite having an acting career that started at age seven and has earned her two Oscar nominations, she was “pigeonholed” as a young actor and once felt it’d be impossible to diversify her onscreen roles. Johansson opened up about her career on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast.
“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,” Johansson said (via Yahoo). “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.”
