Scarlett Johansson’s Disney dreams

Actor has been seeking role for past 20 years

This may come as a bit of a surprise but Hollywood’s very own Black Widow, Scarlett Johansson, says she is desperate to become a Disney princess. In fact, the 32-year-old actor has apparently been asking around for the role of a princess for the last 20 years.

“Right now, I have the dream that I will someday be a Disney princess but it’s probably not going to happen. I’ve been asking for that job for the past 20 years and nobody has booked me,” The Indian Express quoted the Avengers star as saying. “When you see films from 50 years ago, the characters reflected what people wanted to project to the world, which was very black and white and guarded, idealistic or whatever. It’s not that way anymore. Films that have a better audience reaction now are the ones where the characters are flawed.”

Johansson has been in front of the camera for around two decades and is still going strong, with several projects, including animated movie Sing in the pipeline. There’s been a great deal of change in the industry since she started out, with A-listers now being targeted on their every move by the press and the public through the Internet – something Johansson is horrified of.

“I remember watching Macaulay Culkin dealing with the media, but it was because he had that Shirley Temple effect and he was making so much money. That was a very unusual situation for him,” Johansson said of the Home Alone star.
