Scarlett Johansson is fed up of being "an object of desire."
The 29-year-old star, who is pregnant with her first child with her French journalist fiance, Romain Dauriac, plans to embrace the aging process and claims she feels less pressure to look perfect as she gets older.
"I don't want to be the ingenue any more. That part I'm happy about. It's nice to be glamorous, but I don't want to always have to be trendy and glamorous and an object of desire. I don't want to be stuck in that forever. Because it doesn't last," she said.
But Scarlett also told The Weekend Australian magazine that she believes that Hollywood's leading men aren't subjected to as much criticism: "With [male actors] it just doesn't happen the same way. You can be every woman's fantasy and nobody thinks twice about the fact that you have eight kids or whatever."

Jessica Chastain: I’m Not a Sex Symbol
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Features,
Jessica Chastain is shocked to be considered a sex symbol.
The sultry redhead - who is famous for her roles in The Help, The Debt and Lawless - doesn't see herself as object of desire having been a tomboy as a child and she is always surprised when she is told she is attractive.
Speaking in the new issue of the UK edition of GQ, she said: "When someone tells me I'm a sex symbol I'm like, 'What?' But I'll take what I can get. That'll teach all those boys back in junior high [school]. In fact, I hope my very first boyfriend, the guy I dated for one month and who broke up with me at the Valentine's Day dance - I hope that boy reads this!"
Although she doesn't think of herself as any man's dream woman, Jessica does enjoy getting flattering comments from the opposite sex. "It's a huge compliment when someone says you're attractive, especially when I was such an awkward kid - I was very tomboyish, with very short red hair, running around with cowboy boots on," she explained.

Scarlett Johansson is Too Sexy For Some Roles

.)
The 27-year-old actress is considered to be one of the world's most beautiful women, and although she is flattered to be considered a sex symbol she claims her gorgeous face and figure have resulted in her losing out artistically.
"That has happened to me before, yeah. That's always an unfortunate thing to figure out, 'Why can't you see?!' For me, I would imagine when casting someone, you would want to challenge yourself in some way. It is so interesting to see actors transform. There are certainly plenty of times when I am definitely not sexy," she said when discussing if she has lost out on roles because she is sexy.
The We Bought A Zoo star - who was previously married to Ryan Reynolds - does work hard to maintain her enviable figure and avoids meat and dairy products to stay slender. However, Scarlett isn't as strict as some Hollywood actresses with her diet and is happy to indulge in a few glasses of wine now and again:

Scarlett Johansson doesn't like being called "the sexiest woman alive." The 27-year-old star regularly tops polls naming her sexy and beautiful but she would prefer it if she could remain anonymous.
"There are so many wonderful women out there, and they aren't even actresses! I don't like being labeled as 'the sexiest woman alive.' As an actress I prefer to maintain the anonymity," she said.
The Avengers star was previously married to Ryan Reynolds and has also been romantically linked to actor Sean Penn and is believed to be dating advertising executive Nate Naylor, but she is keen to keep her personal life private: "I don't talk about my private relationships anymore. I often read many things and don't even recognize myself in what was written."

Scarlett Johansson: My Sexuality is Boring

Scarlett Johansson thinks her striking good looks are a "by-product of being curvy." The Avengers actress - who plays spy Black Widow the superhero movie - finds her own sexuality "boring" and she tries not to think about it.
"I think that's just a by-product of being curvy. I never think about it, except when I get constant questions in interviews about sexuality. I really have nothing to say about any of that stuff because it's so boring," she said when asked how she feels about her looks.

Scarlett Johansson: I’m Not a Sex Symbol
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies,
Scarlett Johansson doesn't think of herself as a sex symbol. The 27-year-old actress is lusted after by men all over the world but she doesn't think of herself as a very attractive woman.
When quizzed on how she feels about being a "sexy icon," she said, "I don't know, I don't think of myself that way. It's alright for now. I'm convinced that obviously in a couple of years' time it will be somebody else. I won't be as interesting that way."
Scarlett doesn't think her sex symbol status has been cultivated by her films because she doesn't consider many of the characters she has portrayed to overtly sexual. The screen star - who can next be seen battling villains in a skin-tight catsuit as Black Widow in The Avengers - told Empire, "I actually have not played that many sexy characters! Of course you could say the characters I played maybe in Match Point, maybe in Black Dahlia [are sexy]. But the characters I play aren't really traditionally sexy, I don't think. I don't think I was particularly sexy in Lost in Translation or particularly sexy in The Other Boleyn Girl ... I think it's probably a reaction to the fact that I'm curvy and confident about it, maybe."
Jon Hamm Blasts Kim Kardashian Again

Jon Hamm has lashed out at Kim Kardashian again.
The hunky Mad Men actor - who recently called the reality TV star a "f***ing idiot" - says he doesn't want to be known simply as a sex symbol because then he "might as well be a Kardashian and have a sex tape," a reference to Kim's leaked erotic video with former boyfriend Ray J.
"The sexy thing is so ephemeral and meaningless other than in the world of selling magazines. Who cares, when it's reduced to just that? You might as well be a Kardashian and have a sex tape. It's not for me to define. It's exclusively in the purview of others and I can't remotely be a part of it. I guess it's better than the alternative. I mean, what's the opposite of a sex symbol? A person who makes children cry when they see their picture?"
Jon and Kim have been involved in a war of words ever since he blasted the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star for being famous for being stupid.
