Actress Scarlett Johansson said in a recent interview that she’s opposed to actors speaking out about politics.
“I don’t think actors have obligations to have a public role in society,” the Avengers star told The Gentlewoman, a British magazine.

“Some people want to, but the idea that you’re obligated to because you’re in the public eye is unfair,” she added. “You didn’t choose to be a politician, you’re an actor.”
Johansson said that her job is to “be a mirror for an audience” and that “the other stuff is not my job.”

“Whatever my political views are, all that stuff, I feel most successful when people can sit in a theatre or at home and disappear into a story or a performance and see pieces of themselves, or are able to connect with themselves through this experience of watching this performance or story or interaction between actors or whatever it is,” she said.
Johansson stars in the Marvel superhero movie Black Widow, which will be released on July 9.
