Johansson’s films have grossed over $14.3 billion worldwide, which reflects how she managed to stay in the game despite her “impatient and reactive” attitude. The actress knows when and what to speak, and how to get away with controversies. She also explained that actors do not have an obligation to have a public role in society. She believes that actors should reflect the audience’s experience to themselves and be a mirror for an audience to have an empathetic experience through art.
Supporting Woody Allen
Despite Danny Farrow’s allegations of sexual abuse against her adopted father, Johansson continues to offer a “God-level” status to Woody Allen. The actress actively campaigned for Democratic candidate Barack Obama and managed to influence a brand like Marvel to become the first franchise to stop sexualizing women. However, her support for Woody Allen has been criticized by some.
In conclusion, Johansson’s art of patrolling boundaries and balancing controversial opinions has helped her navigate controversies and maintain her position as a successful actress in Hollywood.
