SCARLETT JOHANSSON hates the nickname “ScarJo”… so we probably need to stop calling her that. But can you blame us? Scarlett Johansson is quite a mouthful!
Scarlett has been on celebrity gossip websites and magazines more frequently than most celebrities thanks to her divorce from Ryan Reynolds (which was finalized in July), the release of her hacked nude photos, and more. And in every single article, she gets referred to—at least once—as ScarJo.
So what does she have to say about her media nickname? Scarlett tells USA Today:
“Oh, it’s awful.”
She adds:
“It’s a laziness… People can’t actually say the whole name? It’s just bizarre.”
ScarJo (this is the last time, Scarlett, we swear!) then wondered why other actors don’t get their names condensed into the first syllables of their first and last names, like the media did with hers. She then tried shortening some actors’ names, such as Daniel Day-Lewis into “DaDay” and Cate Blanchett into “CaBla”. Scarlett complains:
“Why is that? Why do I have to get stuck with a mangled moniker?”
Why indeed.
She adds:
“If I hear somebody say that (ScarJo), I know I don’t know them at all.”
Okay… if it bothers you that much, we’ll try to lay off your nickname, ScarJo… er… Scarlett.
