Los Angeles, March 13 (NationPress) Oscar-winning actress Scarlett Johansson acknowledges that she "offends a lot of people" by declining to take photos with them when she is not in work mode.
The 40-year-old actress values her privacy and asserts that she will not pause for pictures with fans if approached outside of her professional commitments, as she prefers to be immersed in her own thoughts, according to reports from femalefirst.co.uk.
The “Black Widow” actress shared with InStyle magazine: "It really offends a lot of people. This doesn’t mean I'm not grateful for the support of fans or that I'm unhappy to see them. However, I always explain to individuals: ‘I'm not working.’ I prefer not to be recognized in that moment with you. I’m focused on my own activities."
She expressed her discomfort with being self-conscious.
Johansson remarked: "I enjoy being in my own thoughts, which are unrelated to what others think of me. I avoid feeling self-conscious."
Furthermore, the actress disclosed her understanding of pop singer Chappell Roan, who has been candid about her challenges with fame.
She said: "Like everyone else, I became a fan of hers over the summer. She is very vocal about the difficulties she's faced in adjusting to stardom. It’s akin to being a heart-throb; that can be tough. When I was younger, I dated actors who were heart-throbs, and that was intimidating to me.
I don’t experience that level of fan crush. It can be quite overwhelming."
This discussion follows Johansson's admission that turning 40 in November has been a “liberating” milestone because she is less concerned with the opinions of others.
During her appearance on 'LIVE with Kelly and Mark', she stated: "So far, it’s fantastic... You also begin to disregard what anyone thinks, which is incredibly liberating. It truly is!"
