Fox News
Scarlett Johansson discussed her career trajectory and how she had to fight to get away from the "bombshell" stereotype that she felt she was groomed into becoming.
"I was playing the ‘other woman’ and the object of desire," she said of her stereotyped roles in films such as "Lost in Translation" and "Girl With the Pearl Earring." "And you know I suddenly found myself cornered in this place, like I couldn't get out of it." Caroline Thayer is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.

"I kind of became, like, an ingénue," she said, before adding, "Young girls like that are really objectified, and that’s just a fact, you know? And so I think whatever box they’re put into, it sort of sets you on this trajectory for how your life will go."
