 Scarlett Johansson: Abashed by hoopla over Obama e-mails
American actress Scarlett Johansson said that she is embarrassed by the media coverage of her so-called "e-mail relationship" with Senator Barack Obama.
Scarlett Johansson said, "It seemed to me to be like a product of extreme sexism, and I kept thinking to myself, 'God, if this was just, like, Kal Penn or George Clooney or any of the other (Obama) surrogates or supporters ... there wouldn't be any question about it. Nobody would even talk about it'".
The 23 year old Scarlett Johansson, a vocal supporter of Obama, is promoting her new Woody Allen film "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" at Los Angeles. In an interview, she said, "I was merely trying to express my delight at Obama's commitment to his campaign in every aspect and his interest and his support in his surrogates and his staff and his fellows, and how wonderful and refreshing that is. And it was manipulated into such an unfortunate media frenzy of kind of a nonstory".
Barack Obama later told reporters that Johansson doesn't have his personal e-mail address, and that his assistant forwarded one message from Johansson to which he replied.
The romantic comedy set against the bohemian backdrop of Barcelona, Spain, has its share of buzz over Scarlett Johansson's much-hyped kiss with Penelope Cruz.
Johansson said, "It's just silly because the way people are talking about it, you'd think it was a Bertolucci movie or something. People are saying, 'It's Woody Allen's steamiest movie'. I'm thinking, 'Woody Allen's steamiest what?'"
This the third time, Scarlett Johansson worked with Allen, who has already directed her in "Match Point" and "Scoop" too.
Johansson and actor Ryan Reynolds has been snapped by paparazzi on the set of the movie last summer. She confirmed their engagement there.
When asked if they set a date, Scarlett Johansson replied, "We're just enjoying our time. We're just recently — very recently — engaged. So, you know, we're just taking it easy. And no big plan yet. But it's a good time and we're just enjoying our time to be young and engaged. I mean, I'm 23. There's no reason to rush into it. Everything feels very natural and relaxed". |
