Why was Scarlett rejected as a child star?

CEBU, Philippines - Scarlett Johansson got rejected from something? The sultry 28-year-old “Don Juan” star recently told Interview magazine about how she was rejected as a child star because of her deep, trademark voice.

“I was always terrible at commercials because my voice was so deep. At the age of nine, I sounded like a whiskey-drinking, chain-smoking fool. Wasn’t going to sell Jell-O with that voice.”

The “Avengers” star, who got engaged to French reporter Romain Dauriac last month, also spoke of her need to have leisure time between and during acting projects.

“Especially in theater, where you’re doing something like eight shows a week, giving three-hour performances each time, and the work is agonizing and there’s never a moment to rest. I would just perish if I wasn’t able to meet my boyfriend for dinner afterward, or meet a couple of friends for drinks, or get up the next day and go to the gym, or see my dad, or just do those everyday things,” said the actress, who starred in the Broadway revival of Arthur Miller’s “A View From the Bridge.”
