Don’t call Scarlett Johansson ‘ScarJo’

By Tribute on April 8, 2014 | 1 Comment


Scarlett Johansson doesn’t like her nickname, “ScarJo.” In an interview for Glamour‘s May issue, the Captain America: The Winter Soldier actress said, “I associate that name with, like, pop stars. It sounds tacky. It’s lazy and flippant. And there’s something kind of violent about it. There’s something insulting about it.” It’s not the first time the 29-year-old expressed her disdain for her nickname. In 2012, Scarlett  told USA Today that it is “awful. It’s a laziness… People can’t actually say the whole name? It’s just bizarre… so Cate Blanchett is not, like, ‘CaBla?’ Why is that? Why do I have to get stuck with ScarJo?” ~Alexandra Sharova
