Scarlett Johansson Reveals Being Eyed as ‘Sex Object' Repeatedly After Lost in Translation Role With Bill Murray; Here's Why
In her Vanity Fair interview, Scarlett Johansson stated, "After 'Lost in Translation,' every role that I was offered for years was 'the girlfriend,' 'the other woman,' a sex object — I couldn't get out of the cycle."
The actress then went on to state that back then, she felt it was her dignity now as an actor, also thinking that she couldn't do much about what was going on with her.
Even her representatives did not help the actress from We Bought a Zoo back then to avoid such roles, and were simply reacting "to the norm. The industry worked like that forever."
As per the actress from The Prestige, once an actress puts on clothes that she wants, once she simply expresses herself and then she "suddenly turn around and you're like, 'Wait, I feel like I'm being' — I don't want to say exploited because it's such a severe word."
In case you don't know, Lost in Translation stars Bill Murray, who played the character of a fading movie star in Tokyo. He is soon shown to befriend Johansson's college graduate.
Talking about her co-star, Scarlett Johansson stated that Bill Murray was in a challenging situation back then. She then went on to add that all the people on set, including the director, were "on tenterhooks around him."
Catch Johansson in Jurassic World Rebirth. The actress will be seen acting alongside Jonathan Bailey and more. Jurassic World Rebirth is set to release on July 4, 2025.

Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection Day 17: Aamir Khan's movie nears ₹150 crore mark, mints THIS amount on Sunday
Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection Day 17: Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par is less than ₹ 5 crore shy of achieving the ₹ 150 crore mark by the end of three weeks at the Indian box office. The movie, which had a significant hold on urban cities earlier, is now facing tough competition from Anurag Basu's Metro In Dino, which, too, focuses on the same target audience. However, the potential of both Sitaare Zameen Par and Metro In Dino in metro cities is being impacted by stiff competition from the Hollywood biggies – Jurassic World Rebirth and Brad Pitt's F1. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Sitaare Zameen Par earned ₹ 3.23 crore till 5 PM on Sunday, Day 17. With this, the movie's total earnings have climbed to ₹ 145.78 crore, which is nearly ₹ 4 crore away from the ₹ 150 crore mark. These are just early estimates from Sitaare Zameen Par's Sunday earnings. The numbers will be revised later to include evening and night show collections. Therefore, a decent jump in the second half of the day may help the Aamir Khan and Genelia D'Souza starrer to cross the mark by the end of the day. By the end of Saturday, Day 16, the movie had collected ₹ 142.55 crore, of which its Tamil version garnered ₹ 74,00,000 and its Telugu variant earned ₹ 44,00,000. Sitaare Zameen Par saw an overall 13.83% occupancy on July 6. For the Hindi version, the occupancy was as follows: The numbers for the evening and night shows are yet to be released. Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Mumbai, and Pune recorded the highest footfall for the day. Sitaare Zameen Par, directed by RS Prasanna, has earned a solid ₹ 217.5 crore globally in 16 days. Its overseas collection stood at ₹ 51.7 crore, while its India gross was ₹ 164.8 crore. The numbers are yet to be updated for Day 17.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle lose 6 employees; the source points at 'low cash flow'
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly running low on cash flow with no royal backup, despite spreading out their ventures on social media platforms. In the focus of saving dollars, the duo has laid off six employees, including two in-house representatives. "Milk lasts longer than their employees" According to Page Six, the tally of the employees who have either left or lost their jobs goes up to 25, with some not being disclosed in public. 'It's the same old story – they cycle through staff as quickly as normal people cycle through toilet paper. Milk lasts longer than their employees,' one royal source said. Initially, a deal with an OTT platform was said to be $100 million, but now, newer reports concluded that it's closer to $20 million. While the docuseries, 'Harry & Meghan,' and the lifestyle show where the Duchess gives homemade remedies and tips, 'With Love, Meghan,' created a significant impact in the market, the others were simply flops. After the royal battle over security, the cost that Prince Harry has to bear is nearly $2 million a year. Everybody is terrified of Meghan Markle... Previously, Vanity Fair covered a story where an anonymous employee stated that it is 'really, really, really awful. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esse novo alarme com câmera é quase gratuito em Criciúma (consulte o preço) Alarmes Undo Very painful' to work with Meghan-related media projects. While another staff member said that she throws her employees to the wolves. 'She belittles people, she doesn't take advice. They're both poor decision-makers, they change their minds frequently. Harry is a very, very charming person — no airs at all — but he's very much an enabler. And she's just terrible,' a source said in September 2024, when The Hollywood Reporter exposé mentioned that everybody is terrified of Meghan. Prince William noticed... Meanwhile, Meghan launched her rosé wine on Tuesday, on what would have been Princess Diana's 64th birthday. The swift move did not go unnoticed by fans as well as Prince William. 'It's not lost on Prince William that Meghan has launched an alcohol brand on his mother's birthday, the very mum he lost in a drink-driving tragedy,' the royal reporter told The Sun.
