Scarlett Johansson is one of the biggest female film stars in the world but in a candid new interview, the actress revealed even she has had to face rejection from Hollywood directors.
Speaking to Variety magazine, the 38-year-old Under the Skin star said she lost out on her dream role to fellow Hollywood heavyweight Sandra Bullock and it left her feeling “hopeless”.
Sharing that she had just been rejected by casting directors for a role in Iron Man 2, the actress said she also lost out on the lead role in the 2013 sci-fi thriller, Gravity.
“I had wanted that role so much. It was sort of the straw that broke the camel’s back. I felt really frustrated and hopeless. Like, ‘Am I doing the right job?’ The work I was being offered felt deeply unfulfilling.”
