Scarlett Johansson isn't interested in getting political in public.

"I dont think actors have obligations to have a public role in society," the 36-year-old actress told The Gentlewoman in a recent interview.

"You didnt choose to be a politician, youre an actor," she added. The "Black Widow" star believes it's "unfair" to expect that from celebrities who don't want to offer it.

"Your job [as an actor] is to reflect our experience to ourselves; your job is to be a mirror for an audience, to be able to have an empathetic experience through art. That is what your job is," Johansson explained.

"Whatever my political views are, all that stuff, I feel most successful when people can sit in a theatre or at home and disappear into a story or a performance and see pieces of themselves, or are able to connect with themselves through this experience of watching this performance or story or interaction between actors or whatever it is," she continued.

Johansson added: "Theyre affected by it and theyre thinking about it, and they feel something. They have an emotional reaction to it good, bad, uncomfortable, validating, whatever. Thats my job. The other stuff is not my job."...

...She also reflected on originally defending Woody Allen, who she previously worked with. The director was accused by his adoptive daughter Dylan Farrow of sexual abuse, which Allen has long denied.

"I mean, everyone has a hard time admitting when theyre wrong about stuff, and for all of that to come out publicly, it can be embarrassing," Johansson said. "To have the experience of, Wow, I was really off mark there, or I wasnt looking at the big picture, or I was inconsiderate Im also a person."

Most celebrities are Republicans, but you can be a Republican and not support Donald Trump.

If that were true the Senate would have impeached and he wouldn't have gotten 70 million votes

I agree. If they want to be political they can be, if they want to be neutral they can be as well.

Most of us just watch the fucking movie and we don't think about the politics or views of the person in it. I've enjoyed a lot of Tom Cruise movies and I think his religion/world view is batshit insane. Unless the person is drinking the blood of orphans in their offtime I am wiling to accept conservative or progressive or neutral views politically.

Tbh I rather have conservatives actors be quiet about their politics, it was hard watching Gina Carano in Mandalorian.

You do realize that it was hard watching because you are weak right? As in you are a pathetic human being? You are one of life's many victims?

I can't name five but I know Gary Sinise was one of the first Never-Trump people. He was close with McCain too.

Joe Scarborough flat out left the party.
