Scarlett Johansson Was Embarassed About The Rumored Relationship With Obama

Scarlett Johansson may laugh now, but the actress says she was embarrassed by media coverage of her so-called "e-mail relationship" with Barack Obama."It seemed to me as a product of extreme sexism, and I continued to believe myself, 'God, if it was just, like, Kal Penn or George Clooney or any of the other ( Obama) or substitutes supporters ... it is not (just) question about this. Nobody would even talk about it," Scarlett Johansson said.

Scarlett Johansson, one vote for Obama, told the website Politico.com in June and that the Democratic presidential hopeful was commercial e-mails. Obama, later said that Scarlett Johansson does not have his personal e-mail address, and his assistant sent a message Scarlett Johansson to which he replied.

"I was just trying to express my pleasure Obama's commitment to campaign in all its aspects and its interest and support (in) and his deputies to his staff and his companions, and how wonderful and is refreshing. And it was handled in such an unfortunate media frenzy of a kind non story, "the 23-year-old actress said Tuesday in an interview from Los Angeles, where she was promoting her new film by Woody Allen" Vicky Cristina Barcelona. "

The romantic comedy opposite the bohemian backdrop of Barcelona, Spain, has its share of buzz on Scarlett Johansson's much-hyped kiss with Penelope Cruz.

"It's just stupid ... because the way people are talking about you think ... it was a Bertolucci film or something," said Scarlett Johansson, laughing. "People say:" It is steamiest Woody Allen film. "I think," Woody Allen's steamiest WHAT? "

It was the actress' third time working with Allen, who directed her in "Match Point" and "Scoop". She and beau-actor Ryan Reynolds had been broken by paparazzi on the set of the movie last summer; she confirmed the commitment of the couple in early May.
