Scarlett Johansson shocked by her own photos
The story goes like this. Scarlett Johansson, the actress who achieved fame in “Lost in Translation” and is now considered a Hollywood celebrity, was driving in her car in Los Angeles, when she saw a poster of her (flopped) movie The Island. “I look up and see the biggest photo of me I have ever seen in my life on a massive ad space…I screamed and slammed on the brakes. I couldn’t believe it…It’s very strange to see my cleavage the size of a brontosaurus. My breasts were huge…I had long hair and my goodness, I couldn’t get past the cleavage.”
Now Johansson is, generally speaking, very proud of her physical assets and has no inhibitions about displaying them on film or in public. After all if you recall, the movie “Lost in Translation” opens with a closeup of her butt (not a result of butt implants, though) dressed in white panties. But she was still horrified to see how the poster designers had altered the image.
So what is the message of this story?
Women often compare themselves to models and celebrities that they see in magazines or in the movies. However, like politicians, they manage their image very carefully. Not only do they wear the right clothes and makeup, they have plastic surgery as well if they need to. But that is not where the story ends. It is now fairly common to enhance a photo or a movie by using computers so much so that what you see is very different from the real person. So if you are judging your body against that digitally altered person, you are comparing apples to oranges.
It is, of course, possible to see how these people really look when you see them in public and media often captures those images. That is when you realize that Kate Hudson is essentially flat chested and Scarlett Johansson, while busty, is not Pamela Anderson.
And this insight should go into your plastic surgery decisions? Do you even want to have a procedure? If so, what size implants should you choose? How many procedures? How often?
