Scarlet Johansson explains how the pressure of being slim has worsened
Scarlet Johansson discussed the pressure she faced as an actress in Hollywood during an interview. The actress from Under the Skin stated that she has experienced tremendous pressure over the years to look a certain way and that it is just getting worse. While talking about how the actresses face problems just to stay slim, the 38-year-old actress said,
“There has always been pressure on actors to stay thin. There’s a scene in one of my favorite movies, All About Eve, where Bette Davis is circling around the room, horribly upset about something, and she picks up a chocolate … puts it down … picks it up again … puts it down again … finally, she gives in and eats it, but only after a huge struggle! So even back then, there was the pressure going on. And now, it’s much worse.”

I’d rather just stay in shape the natural way.”
