One year after actor Scarlett Johansson decided to exit upcoming film 'Rub and Tug' following the backlash she received for being cast as a transgender man, the star made headlines for a new interview in which she spoke about politically correct casting and stated that she should "be allowed to play any person."
The 34-year-old actor clarified her comments made in the interview in a statement to Entertainment Weekly on Sunday, via her representative, claiming "An interview that was recently published has been edited for clickbait and is widely taken out of context."
