Scarlet Johansson thinks her sudden rise to fame was toughScarlett Johansson has revealed that her sudden rise to fame was “almost like a breakdown” for her.
The Other Boleyn Girl star catapulted to the big time in 2003 when she starred in Lost In Translation.
She said: “I don’t think there’s any preparation for sudden celebrity. I think you almost have a kind of slight nervous breakdown when that kind of media attention happens. You have to make these weird adjustments.”
And since then she’s been the subject of celebrity magazines – one of which recently claimed she’d had plastic surgery.
“It was awful,” says Scarlett. “I was willing to let them examine me. I really haven’t had any.”
But Scarlett, who is in a relationship with fellow actor Ryan Reynolds, is now looking forward to delving into music.
On whether the release of her debut album later this year will represent a change in career for her, the Dane-American star said: “Who knows, I don’t have any expectations about it. I just love to sing.”
The Other Boleyn Girl is released on Friday.
