Scarlett Johansson: Curves are what make me a woman

Actress says she'd never want to be stick-thin

Sunday, 19 October 2008

Scarlett Johansson has hit out at skinny actresses, saying she loves her shapely figure.

'There are a lot of actors around Hollywood who are just too thin for my taste,' she says.

'I don't understand this obsession for being stick-thin. I could never be like that – it's just not my body shape.

'I would never want to lose my curves, because curves are what make women look like women. They are what make you sexy.'


But Scarlett, 23, confesses that she'd never allow herself to put on too much weight.


'I'm a person in the public eye and I need to maintain a certain appearance, so I'm not going to balloon into somebody who is very much bigger than I am now,' she tells Weekend.

'But there's a weight I can maintain which is slim and healthy, and I think I can be my own judge of what feels comfortable to me and how I like my body to look.'

Scarlett married actor Ryan Reynolds, 31, in a small ceremony in Canada last month.

I would hope that Scarlett could find something more than curves to amek her feel womanly. Someone women are just thin by nature and have to work to keep weight on and they are no less women and def. not less sexy because they can't be as curvy as Scar (who really isn't that curvy at all). What is truly sexy is a woman who is confidant and knows who she is, not a woman of a particular body type.
