“I pounded the pavement for years and I know what it’s like to struggle as an actor. A lot of it is luck and, certainly, a lot of it is opportunity — and the lack of that. So, I totally understand the frustration there … A lot of my friends who are struggling actors are going through the same thing. But, I can’t apologize for it. I have worked my ass off to get to where I am so I understand that struggle. For me, it’s more about hiring the right person for the job. If somebody is cast because they are a name but they’re not right for the job, well, it’s very frustrating.”
Scarlett Johansson on her recent Tony win, and her verbal retaliation to the haters that say she can’t act her way out bags. Yes, bag plural.
But whatever. I’m behind you 100%, girl. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any other movie aside from A Love Song For Bobby Long (and I’m naturally biased, because it’s my favorite movie of all-fucking-time) that had you in it, but hey. You can probably act, just based on what I’ve seen.
And if not, you still have your gorgeous looks to fall back on. And the fact that you’re married to Ryan Reynolds. And your deep, meaningful and super-private beach scene tattoo, which I’m still confused about.
Yes, she struggled so long and hard. Wasn't she in The Horse Whisperer and other major Hollywood films when she was like 12? Oh, the struggle for her art!
Omg. A Love Song For Bobby Long is one of my top ten favorite fucking movies ever. Best role she's ever played and best role Travolta has EVER played in his career.
