“I remember thinking to myself, ‘I think people think I'm 40 years old.’”
Aimée LutkinScarlett Johansson is now 37-years-old, but she came to fame in her teen years. In a new interview on Dax Shepard's podcast, she explained how even then, she knew the way she was being treated was inappropriate. And aging her up considerably.
Constantly being courted for the same type of roles again and again left Johansson with the impression that there there was a very clear stopping point to her career ahead.“Because I think everybody thought I was older and that I'd been [acting] for a long time, I got kind of pigeonholed into this weird hypersexualized thing,” she continued. “I felt like [my career] was over. It was like: that's the kind of career you have, these are the roles you've played.
“We live in a patriarchy and I feel like there's a fundamental reality of the woman's condition that will always, even if those 600 men are not actively aggressive necessarily as much as they would have been a minute ago, it's still fundamentally there,” she said. “It's so baked into our culture and society. It's hard for me to imagine that ever being not an element.”
