Posts under ‘Scarlett Johansson’

Scarlett Johansson has been complaining for some time about being pigeonholed as the ingenue with a cutesy nickname. I remember scattered quotes, the past year, whining about how giant breasts are only half as awesome as you’d think because reluctant jiggles will typecast you for life. Which is why we’re being told she is naked under her Black Widow catsuit and other details we didn’t ask her for. She tells the UK’s Independent newspaper: ‘I never wanted to be a sex symbol…  women that are curvy can be pigeonholed in that bombshell thing.’

I somehow missed this from yesterday’s quotes because killer breasts are srs bsns from which I should be fired. Still talking about her Black Widow costume, Scarlett Johansson reveals she was nude under the same catsuit shredded in battle. Asked about the challenges of filming in the suit, she recalled: ‘Everybody on the film has their own uncomfortable costume situation. It’s like 800° in mine. And it’s a one-piece and I have nothing underneath it.’ Asked how everyone else stayed comfortable in their garb, she continued: ‘[The costumes were] very surreal. It was kind of an out-of-body experience. Like a dress-up, but to the extreme. Everybody looks incredibly uncomfortable until the cameras are rolling. Then we all look badass. And when the Avengers assemble, it feels like being a little kid. Then, cut! And we’re all like, ‘Arrgh, God, get this thing off me.’ As soon as everything is cut, everything comes off. All our costumes are unzipped, some air conditioning venting unit goes in, someone is having a wig removed… we all have our various things that we have to do to get comfortable.’

With the power to jiggle out of danger AND shred leather, Scarlett Johansson says her Black Widow catsuit from The Avengers is no more because her breasts are weapons. Asked whether she kept the costume, she replied: ‘I think it was just shredded. I don’t think I even had enough to take home. There was like this much fabric left after all those fight sequences.’ I’ll need photos. For science.
