Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Scarlett Johansson reveals why she snubs fan requests for selfies
Caption: Scarlett Johansson reveals why she snubs fan requests for selfies. The two-time Oscar-nominated star, 40, has been in the spotlight since her on-screen debut in 1994 and is more than happy to pose with fans when at premieres or work-related events. However, she has made it clear that she does not appreciate fans demanding photographs when she is simply going about her day. Explaining her zero-tolerance approach, the Black Widow star told InStyle: "It really offends a lot of people. It doesn't mean I'm not appreciative, of course, that people are fans, or happy to see me.” “But I always say to people, 'I'm not working.' (And that means) I don't want to be identified as being in this time and place with you. I'm doing my own thing.” She also explained that she refuses to join social media - but has, at times, felt under pressure to sign up to apps as part of her work. ”It goes against my core values. I mean, even today, I got an email from Universal (Pictures), and they're like, 'Hey, would you consider joining Instagram in tandem with the release of Jurassic World Rebirth?’” “(I) get a lot of pressure to join social media. Is there a way I could do this and stay true to who I am? It didn't feel like I could.” "The work that I put out there is all based in truth. That's the key ingredient.” “So if I was a person who really enjoyed social media, then I could totally get on the bandwagon. But I'm not. And I think the film will do fine.” Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
