Is she red state, or blue state?
Scarlett Johansson struts her stuff in cleavage-baring dresses on the red carpet, but in real life, she’d rather remain a mystery.
“I can’t stand those articles where people spill their life story,” the 21-year-old actress tells InStyle magazine.
“After a while I feel like I know more about them than their best friend does – and that’s weird. It’s better when you don’t know everything.”
Johansson, whose screen credits include “Lost in Translation” and “Match Point,” plays a former prostitute in “The Black Dahlia” opposite Hilary Swank and Josh Hartnett.
Not that it’s all gone to her head: “At the end of (filming) every movie I think, ‘Wow – this is the last one! Nice working with you.”’
So what would she like to do if she wasn’t acting?
“Whose life would I like to step into for the day? The president’s,” Johansson says.
“I could probably get some things done in the Oval Office.”
