Scarlett Johansson: The Amazon!
Meet the new action star: Scarlett Johansson! She is all set to become an Amazon gladiatrix for her new movie, The Amazon Warrior, which is set in the year 200 B.C. She indulges in an interview with the Daily Telegraph about her newly dark hair, her legs, and her gladiatrix role.
On her deviation from blonde bombshell: “For a long time I’ve had really white-blonde hair. I’m naturally blonde – my dad’s Danish – and I was playing up to it. I wanted to act out all those famous blonde icons – Lauren Bacall, Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe… Ever since I started on the red carpet, my idea of glamour was the Golden Age of Hollywood. I like to be feminine. Give the people what they want. The hair, the make-up, the gown, the diamonds. That, to me, is glamour.”
“ [My hair is] more a dark red. I was bored one day. It was raining. I was with a hairdresser friend and just decided to color my hair. We experimented with a few shades until we got the right one. I like it.”
On her fashion inspiration and her legs: “I guess Rita Hayworth or Ava Gardner. Most probably Rita Hayworth. Oh, those legs of hers. My legs? They’re not bad. They get me places.”
On her role in ‘The Amazon Warrior‘: “I think I’m supposed to be a gladiatrix. These film guys are crazy about gladiatrixes. But do I fit into the Amazon mold? I’m a Danish/Jewish girl from New York. I’ve done weapons-training. I’ve fired all kinds of guns: 9mm semi-automatics, machine-guns, shotguns. I’ve jumped off a 60ft building. I learned to ride for ‘The Horse Whisperer.’ But I’ve never done a full-on action role.”
“I guess I’m still waiting for my Cirque du Soleil moment. It would be fun.”
