Scarlett Johansson: Sex scenes are liberating

Scarlett Johansson finds sex scenes “liberating.” The Lucy actress thinks love-making on screen is “challenging” because it requires so much focus and energy and she likes how she has to shed her inhibitions for raunchy roles. “You have to be totally without judgment, and it’s sort of liberating. It’s challenging. You have to stay in the moment,” she said.

Despite her stunning looks and enviable physique, Scarlett — who has two-month-old daughter Rose with new husband Romain Dauriac — insists her body is “unremarkable” and she doesn’t consider herself sexy. Speaking on “Barbara Walters Presents: The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2014,” she said, “It’s an OK body. I wouldn’t say it’s particularly remarkable though. I don’t like my thighs, my mid section.” Discussing how she feels about being considered sexy, she added: “I never put on a sexy face, so I don’t know what it means to act seductively.”

The Lost in Translation star – who was previously married to Ryan Reynolds – also discussed her personal life, admitting she finds relationships “challenging.”

“I think being in a committed relationship takes work,” she said. “It’s very easy to leave a situation when it gets uncomfortable. It’s challenging. But when it works it’s really worth it.”
