Scarlett Johansson has taken the rather peculiar step of battling against rumours about her weight loss. During her filming of the upcoming Iron Man sequel, Iron Man 2, there were rumours a-plenty about the rather large amounts of weight she was supposed to have shed, in order to play her controversial role as the Black Widow.
For the part, Johansson could be seen to have dyed her hair red and have lost her famed curves. She was a pale and rake-thin red-head, with notably absent T&A, where a baby Marilyn Monroe had once been.
Of course, people noticed and pined for her former figure. However, Johansson just whined and insisted that she found all the chatter about her weight rather ridiculous. That is, given that this is her first week in showbiz and she has no idea how this annoying rumour-mill thing works. Don’t worry, I shall pull her to one side and explain that rumours that don’t involve drug-abuse or murder are really nothing to get your panties in a twist over.
Scarlett Johansson talks to the November 2009 issue of Glamour (via Us).
- Scarlett Johansson on the rumour-mill and how much weight she lost in 2009: “There was this rumor mill cranking out stories that I had lost 14 pounds — I could never lose 14 pounds,” the actress, 25, tells the November issue of Glamour. “I hate seeing these ridiculous articles where [tabloids] guess some one’s weight.”
- Scarlett Johansson on her body type: “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 admits.
- Scarlett Johansson on accepting her body for what it is: “You have to work with what you’ve got.”
- Scarlett Johansson on freaking out about having to work the red carpet: “I have a tumultuous relationship with it because I love to get ready for the red carpet, but being on it is very uncomfortable. It’s so freakish and weird,” Johansson says. “I get flop sweats, dry mouth, heart palpitations, all over panic!”

Is she serious? Don’t get me wrong, she actually does have talent and all, but let’s face it, the curves are what made her career. Judging from the pics I’ve seen of her recently, looks like they’re on their way back, though. Could just be the clothing.
I think she is gaining back at least some of the weight she pretty obviously did loose for the role. She’s trying to exaggerate them with the clothing too – well noticed.
