Scarlett Johansson might be best known as the queen of science fiction but the actor is keen to try her hand at other endeavours. 

 

斯嘉丽·约翰逊也许最为人所熟知的是各类科幻片中的女主角形象，但是她还有志在其他领域一显身手。
 

 

The actor has said she might swap¹ films for politics and run for office in the US. Johansson explained she had always had a keen interest in local politics and was keen to follow it up.

 

"I've always been interested in local politics," the 32-year-old said during a Good Morning America appearance. "Right now I think with my young daughter, and also as my career is going right now, it's not the right time."

 

"But eventually, maybe if my daughter was older and I could totally focus myself on something like that, I think it could be interesting."

 

Johansson attended the Women's March on Washington, a protest which took place the day after Donald Trump² was elected, and gave an impassioned speech about Planned Parenthood and women's abortion³ rights. She told the crowd about the life-saving experiences both herself and close friends have had at Planned Parenthood - a non-profit organisation⁴ that provides reproductive health care in the US and globally.

 

Johansson, who was named the top grossing actor of 2016, said despite being a public figure she likes to keep her private life private but added a caveat⁵ for the Trump era. "I feel that in the face of this current political climate, it is vital that we all make it our mission to get really, really personal," she said.
