Scarlett Johansson has said comments she made on the “authentic casting” debate have been taken out of context and asserted that she supports diversity in film.
On Saturday, Johansson said those comments were subsequently edited in other publications for “clickbait”.
“I personally feel that, in an ideal world, any actor should be able to play anybody and Art, in all forms, should be immune to political correctness,” she said in a statement.
In a recent interview with As If magazine, she said actors should be allowed to play any person “because that is my job and the requirement of my job”.
