Johansson, 27, said she wanted to be known for her actress prowess, reported Daily Express. "I never wanted to be a sex symbol, I wanted to be a character actor. But I think women who are curvy can be pigeonholed in that bombshell thing.

What can I do about it? "I'm never going to be rail-thin. Everyone in Hollywood is so damn skinny and you constantly feel like you're not skinny enough," she said.

"You're training and doing all that stunt work so you eat a lot of green things. I spent a lot of time in the gym because of all these huge choreographed fight scenes, and I was happy to do that," she said.u00a0
