Scarlett Johansson Lost 14 Pounds
April 8, 2009 in Scarlett Johansson, Then and Now by Versus

The Sun reports:
I think most folk will agree SCARLETT JOHANSSON’s curvy figure is a winner. So it comes as a disappointment to learn the bubbly blonde’s famous assets may disappear after being put on a strict diet by GWYNETH PALTROW.
The actress has reportedly lost over 14lbs since she began working out with her Iron Man 2 co-star in preparation for the movie. A source told Star magazine: “The pair have been doing daily workouts with Gwyneth’s personal trainer TRACY ANDERSON.
“Scarlett is also staying away from carbohydrates.” The 24-year-old actress decided to diet, reportedly fearing she could lose out on the roles she wants to younger, more attractive actresses.
A friend said: “Scarlett has always been happy with her curves, but recently she has been feeling pressure to lose a few pounds. She knows that she is up against tough competition from younger, prettier and increasingly skinner actresses.”
Scarlett previously insisted she loved her fuller figure and felt no pressure to diet. She said: “I don’t need to be skinny to be sexy.”
Maybe Scarlett has lost 14 pounds, but not in the last months – like in the past 2 years or so (even though she didn’t need to!). What do you all say?
She’s just wearing a more flattering outfit in the second picture, I don’t think she’s lost weight (and she doesn’t need to anyway). That second picture was taken a couple weeks ago though so she might already look different if the reports are true. I can understand succumbing to the pressure, it’s hard. It doens’t hurt to tone up but losing weight isn’t necessary.
agreed. she doesn’t look much different to me, just changed the flats for high heels and is posing. she’s healthy anyways.
Exactly my sentiments
You must be kidding. She is so fat in the first picture. Saying she is healthy sound so dumb ! How would you know? Oh yes… you are the same writers who call a skinny woman unhealthy, even tho she actually might be very healthy. Everyone knows we have an overweight problem, especially in the USA, and you are encouraging it with your obvious ” me too ” comments.
Stop eating so much and you will feel better about yourselves.
BTW, the second picture is a ” huge” improvement.
I would by no means call her fat in the first picture. There is a healthy middle ground between very skinny and overweight and I’d certainly say that she was in it (and looking at her waist, I’d even think her on the lower end of that scale). Whilst we shouldn’t encourage obesity, it can be just as dangerous for girls to grow up and think that anything above Hollywood skinny, is fat. There has to be a balance, not everything is black and white.
You are right about too skinny, but her legs are soooo fat that even her big shorts are stretched out of shape by her out of control thighs.
I think the shorts are just made ugly they look like something an old man would wear. and they’re not stretched out of shape because obviously they’re baggy in the front can’t you tell??
Honestly, she is perfect.
This is what we should be marketing to our teens and kids.
And obesity should not be encouraged, but obese girls stay obese because they know they can never reach the idle look – skinny.
If this look was marketed to girls, they might actually look up to her and try to be her, because it’s not impossible to be that way.
Adding to that, I would totally go for her.
You sound dumb for implying she is fat. What is with you and obsessing about the size of women’s thighs. Belly fat is the one to watch out for, no-one every died of having thighs bigger than a size 4! Get a grip for goodness sake.
even if the second picture meant skin-good for you it can’t be that the first one, with just 7 kg (14 pounds more), means fat. I appreciate that people say what they think (even it is stupid) but, at least, try to investigate before. The normal BMI ranges 15 kg, so, even if your view was healthy (it isn’t, saying SK is fat means you have a distorted perception, maybe anorexic, or not) it wouldn’t be truhtful because of the BMI range. Fat means BMI’s over 25 (overweight) or 30 (obesity). SC 1 is just about 22
hmm first pic does look better to me.. but it could be the hair colour
she looks great in both pictures!
i really love her , and yes i think she has definately lost some weight, even though she didn’t have to, but i understand her reason
and she is NOT fat !
Weird…she hasnt lost that much weight yet but looks like a lollipop head! She looks good though, Just her head looks giant!
A 24-year-old is afraid of losing roles to younger actresses…since when is 24 old? You gotta love hollywood.
This is one of those stories that reminds us how destructive the Hollywood culture can be to women’s self esteem and their bodies. That Scarlett Johansson, who is what, 25, is concerned about losing out to younger actresses is sad. That she thinks she has to be skinny to be attractive is sick. And that her acting talent, which is considerable when she’s given a chance to show it, doesn’t seem to be an issue is frankly disgusting.
i cannot believe people are calling her fat- seriously go to any public place and look around, you’ll see fat. she looks like she is of average weight esp. in the first pic. i think she looks better in that pic, just not a very flattering outfit. her face looks too thin in the second.
She looks fab in that dress, but I think a lot of it is down to a more flattering outfit. She still has her curves, I’m just a bit disappointed she’s feeling under pressure to lose them too – I think she looks gorgeous either way but I kind of prefer her on the left, it’s a shame she lost the weight because she made me at least much happier about my own hourglassy figure – and DT, sorry what? She does not have ‘out of control’ thighs – that kind of comment is bloody insulting to everyone (myself included) who is perfectly slim, but just happens not to have stick legs!
eww….first pic is gross. sooo fat! she wanna keep her bombshell stat she better drop some el bees!
Wow
My thoughts entirely. It’s ok though, I’d be surprised if ck is over the age of 16, so she there is still a chance she may grow out of such a skewered way of thinking.
her head look giant xD ahahah… she looks good anyway with any weight..
but in the secnd pic the make up and the dress and the hair.. bad!
She definitely looks like she lost a bit, but more like 5lbs than 14lbs. IMO. And didn’t she just tell Allure magazine not too long ago that she never works out and has never been on a diet?
I believe that article/comment was made before she took the role as Black Widow in the next “Iron Man” movie.
good luck cutting out carbohydrates, scarlett – let me know if you have somehow conquered your body’s biological need for them. why not just replace your refined carbs and sweets with whole grains?
hahahah good one. ( i mean because your totally right)
I think her figure still looks curvy, and she still looks stunning. Also, the photo of her “bigger” is very unflattering. That outfit looks like something my mom would wear, and everyone knows that mom clothes are never flattering! I don’t think working out with Gwennie is that great though, because G-dubbs is too skinny and she is a bore (in my humble opinion). Besides, Gwen can hardly get anyone to sign up for the gym chain she is trying to start. She has to cold-call people… sad.
I actually think she looks way better in the first pic – so natural and pretty. The second pic is really strange; the weight loss makes her head appear so big in proportion to her body and does no justice to her face.
Sure she could’ve toned up a bit, but she was at a great weight before and I think this is just sad.
I hate her new hair color, it ages her. She was so beautiful as a blonde.
Honestly I’d take her over any skinny/prettier actress any day! She can act i dont want to see no talent hags on a movie screen
She has definitley lost some weight, however I think a lot has to do with toning up. I just hope that she doesn’t get too carried away in the great hollywood weight race. I prefer her blonde.
she looks like she has lost weight but she was never a ‘fat’ girl to begin with.
If you look at her chest/collar bones, she doesn’t look like she’s lost weight and she isn’t any bonnier. She’s going to look slimmer when she wearing a corseted dress with heels.
I actually liked her better before, but she still looks nice and isn’t too skinny.
It looks like she lost weight. She does look a lot better in the second picture than the first.
She is the same- its the outfits for christs sake! The first is a candid shot in a casual no-fuss outfit. We have all had those days! And the picture on the right is a posed photo- she is wearing heels, which makes her legs seem leaner, AND A WAIST CINCHER.
I think she is beautiful, particularly in lost in translation. All the wonderful men in my life think her body in that movie is the epitome of perfect. The ones who think otherwise are the guys who want women like tara reid & Paris…
I sooo- totaly agree w/ you.
Some of you need to get a grip of reality. Reading this has made me feel sick. She’s got the perfect figure, I would kill for it. (before you start saying I’m a whale I am naturally horribly skinny not by choice. Sadly, I hate it. Overractive metabolism!)
She’s not fat. Get a grip, and it makes me laugh the ones saying she is appear girls! God girls, she’s happy why can’t we be? She’s got a stunning figure, she’s a very lucky girl. You wanna see fat. Google it, stop being obsurd and get a life. Scarlet probably thinks your sad little f*cks with nothing better to do. I think that too. Honestly. Ask men who they prefer Scarlet or Victoria Beckham (first disgustingly skinny women to pop to mind) and see who they prefer. No wonder David had an affair. Fancy going to bed with that bag of bones night after night!!
People on here are reasons why girls have such a problem with weight and why their are pro anorexia sites out there.
She hasn’t lost any weight in those pictures at all. She has the exact same proportions sans a black dress and heels which we all know are slimming. Not to mention the angle, and also the fact these pictures have probably been doctored up lighting wise to make it suggestive to its audience that she looks different. In one picture she is candid and in one she is posing and standing in a defined way. It is ridiculous to say there is any difference besides what the media persuades one to believe. And she is totally not fat, after 25 most girls don’t look like that in this country.
I CAN’T BELIVE IT!!!!!!!
she is my favorite actress, for some reasons. And one, is for her personality to take over her curves! please Scarlett, back to your normal weight, you are perfect!! see this almost made me want to cry. I admire you for what you are, you own.

I think it’s SO disappointing. Hope she reverts to her old habits once the filming’s done. This sounds like the beginning of an eating disorder to me…
I am a figure competitor, and as such before a show I have to shred down my fat level to a very low level, and one of the things I notice with women, is that when we have two low a fat level, our heads look big, and our faces are never as pretty. Alot of us just can’t pull off being BEAUTIFUL, and SKINNY at the same time. I personally prefer how I look with an extra 10 lbs on my bod, and I feel the same way with Scarlett. I thought she was so beautiful 4 years ago, now she is aging herself, because the less fat you have, the less youthful you will look. It makes me sad…
