Scarlett Johansson is having trouble turning her head to the left after straining her neck muscles playing the Black Widow in new movie Iron Man 2. The movie beauty injured herself during stunt scenes for the eagerly-awaited action-flick. “I had such a great stunt team who were unbelievably supportive,” she said. “They were like ‘You can do it! Go!’ and you have to believe you can do it and that’s when it works. “I have to say though, I’ll probably never be able to turn my neck to the left again.”
Scarlett Johansson loved starring in her upcoming new flick Iron Man 2 — she’s keeping her fingers crossed producers will ask her to come back in the role in a spin-off movie! The actress — who plays the Black Widow in the Marvel action adventure — loved high-kicking her way on to the big screen in her first action-girl role. “I hope I get to come back and do it again,” she says. “The character certainly comes back. We see that she does in the comics and certainly she is a part of The Avengers. “I don’t know if that is where it’s going to go but she is definitely a big part of The Avengers and she has many different incarnations and different storylines so I’m hoping she will be able to continue in that way. “I’m hoping that if the fans like the character and support the character, we’ll see her again.”
Scarlett Johansson loves to cook — because it makes her feel normal! The Hollywood star — who is married to actor Ryan Reynolds — says she likes spending time in the kitchen to unwind after a hard day making movies. “After a long day at work, I really like to cook,” the 24-year-old told Britain’s OK! magazine in a new interview. “I actually find cooking dinner a really nice routine, especially after working, it makes me feel normal again. “There is something nice about the routine. Often when you’re working, you’re traveling around a lot and you feel kind of disconnected — so I find having a routine like coming home and cooking dinner every day sort of makes me feel more at home.”
Scarlett Johansson didn’t intend to become a role a model. The Iron Man 2 actress — who is married to hunky actor Ryan Reynolds – says she doesn’t consider herself an icon. “I always thought you reached icon status after you left this world,” she said. “I never signed up to be a role model as such. “Of course, ever since I was a little girl I had an idea of what I wanted to do — which was to pursue my dream of being a successful actor. “If that makes me a role model for people to look up to, then I suppose I am flattered by it. “I suppose it shows that if you work hard at something you really can succeed — so it’s important to keep your head straight and focus on your goal.”
Scarlett Johansson has been chowing down egg whites in a bid to get into shape. The Iron Man 2 beauty says her diet of egg-white omelets and lean turkey, paired with a punishing exercise regime has meant she is stronger, fitter and fabber than ever before — and she’s loving it! “I had to change my diet — when you are working out like that you have to feed your new body so you eat in a different way. It’s very clean,” she said. “I feel much stronger than I’ve ever felt just because I’ve had to build so much strength. “I had no choice, I had to do it — I mean you want to do these stunts and you have to be strong in order to do them.”
Scarlett Johansson got to throw a punch in new movie Iron Man 2 — and she loved it! The movie beauty — who plays the role of the Black Widow in the eagerly-awaited flick — hates playing weak female parts and reveled in the chance to be the tough girl for once. “Well obviously I don’t do damsel in distress very well,” she says. “The essence of this character is that she throws a punch like it’s going to go through you. For me that was an exciting challenge. I’d never done anything like that before — especially this physical aspect of the stunt work and all that. “I’d never been able to challenge myself in that way so that was exciting. Something new. And it used up aggression too.”
