Scarlett Johansson slams tabloids for irresponsible weight reporting
Thursday, April 16th, 2009Scarlett Johansson got irked over reports that she has undertaken an extreme regimen for her upcoming role in Iron Man 2. Scarlett Johansson is already in shape and she need not resort to drastic weight changes to get in shape for her role which would require her to be outfitted in the Black Widow superhero costume—and that would mean either slinky or skin-fitting. A lot of reports came out about her drastic weight regimen allowing her to lose 14 pounds.
Scarlett Johansson however said she is a petite 5′3” and losing 14 pounds drastically would mean having to part ways with both arms–even a foot. She said it is frustrating to read about the utter irresponsibility of the tabloid media who dictate how people should look and how to get there. Scarlett Johansson said she has always publicly advocated for a healthy body image and it is ludicrous to accuse her of going on a crash diet or even a miracle workout to lose that amount of weight. She said this is reckless and dangerous reporting at this time when people should promote healthy eating.
