Scarlett Johansson admitted in a recent interview that she almost quit acting after losing out on a dream role to Sandra Bullock. She revealed that being rejected for major roles, including Black Widow and a role in Gravity, made her feel inadequate and question her future in the industry. Moreover, Johansson struggled with being typecast as a bombshell after her breakout film, Lost In Translation. However, her fortunes changed when she was offered the role of Black Widow after Emily Blunt dropped out. Johansson also discussed her decision to stay away from social media, citing its addictive nature and negative impact on her mental health.
