Hollywood is nuts - Johansson

London - Scarlett Johansson says it is "horrible" being a curvy woman.
The He's Just Not Into You actor is frustrated by the unwanted attention she receives for her looks and hates the way Hollywood are obsessed with appearances.
Last year fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi grabbed the star's breasts on the red carpet, which she says was a very unpleasant experience.
"It was horrible. I didn't know what to do. It was very awkward," she said.
"It's funny coming up in the industry: I never thought about being sexualised. But people are obsessed. Obsessed with weight, curves. It's nuts. I have my own standard of how I like to look. I'm a healthy person and I take care of myself."
Frustrated
The 24-year-old star is also frustrated by the unwanted criticism she has faced regarding her sex life.
The beauty - who married actor Ryan Reynolds last September - was branded a "tramp" in 2008 when she admitted to getting tested for HIV twice a year.
But the star is adamant she has nothing to be ashamed of.
"It became, like, 'She's a tramp, she gets an HIV test.' At the time, I was single. You have to. It's mandatory. Why would you not? People don't want to talk about sex: it is a very strange reaction. Like, 'She's having an HIV test. She's having sex!' At least it kind of starts the conversation.
"You just have to swallow it. It's frustrating, but I'm not a very confrontational person. You hope it fizzles away."
