This was interview for the move The Avengers. Now while I love watching Scarlet Johansson's responses, there are things the interviewer from Extra did that was wrong. One of such was openly asking a private question about Johansson's body and clothing without any regard to how uncomfortable she might feel about it (what was underneath her costume? really?). I might've given this interviewer the benefit of a doubt if he asked Jeremy Renner the same question. But he didn't and he targeted Scarlet based on her gender pretty much. And notice he doesn't even apologize for pretty much offending Johansson, despite it being obvious that she was offended and upset about it. I liked how she managed to take the high road and put the interviewer in his place.
Lesson of the day? Maintain fair questions at all times and avoid sexist questions. It will make you look like a bad journalist.
