Scarlett Johansson Refuses to Starve Self

Scarlett Johansson

Don’t count on Scarlett Johansson to turn into one of those Hollywood actresses that suddenly drops a bunch of “baby fat” (it’s not baby fat if you are old enough to actually have a baby) and credits an impromptu boost in metabolism. The Black Dahlia star is speaking out against the Hollywood slim fast trend, calling it “unsexy,” Starpulse blog reports. 

“I try to stay fit and eat healthily, but I’m not anxious to starve myself and become unnaturally thin,” she says. “I don’t find that look attractive on women and I don’t want to become part of that trend. It’s unhealthy and it puts too much pressure on women in general who are being fed this image of the ideal, which it is not.

She continues: “I think America has become obsessed with dieting rather than focusing on eating well, exercising and living a healthy life. I also think that being ultra-thin is not sexy at all. Women shouldn’t be forced to conform to unrealistic and unhealthy body images that the media promote. I don’t need to be skinny to be sexy.”
