BEING TOO SEXY COST ME ROLES



One of the things that causes most women frequent headache and concern is thinking of the fact that they are not beautiful or not being sexy enough.

 For Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson reverse is the case as she insist her ‘too sexy’ appearance has occasionally impacted on her career causing her to miss out in movie roles. 
IN THE MOVIE WE BOUGHT A ZOO

 She complained saying that “That has happened to me before, yeah. For me, I would imagine casting someone; you would want to challenge yourself in some way. 



She commented further saying 'It is so interesting to see actors transform. There are certainly plenty of times when I am definitely not sexy.'
IN THE MOVIE AVENGERS

She also said her staying beautiful is simple as she lives healthy but not too strict with herself as she occasionally go on outings taking a couple of cups of wine and  a slice of cake though she avoids meat and dairy products and also ensure adequate rest
