‘Scarlett, stop making ads’ – Wilkinson
February 22 | Posted by | Celelebrity
Scarlett Johansson has been urged to quit making commercials and concentrate on movies.
The ‘We Bought A Zoo’ actress is the face of Moet Champagne and Dolce Gabbana make-up but her ‘Girl With A Pearl Earring’ co-star Tom Wilkinson believes the actress is wasting her talents in promos.
He told BANG Showbiz: ‘There are times I want to state to actors, ‘You shouldn’t be doing this, this is the one thing you shouldn’t be doing.’
‘An actress I know quite well, who I have not seen for a few years now, but I used to know quite well is Scarlett Johansson. I want to state to her enough is enough already with the ads for make-up, she is such a good actress she is probably making bundles and bundles of money being the face of whatever it is. But nevertheless I want to state she is such a good actress! I was watching her yesterday in something she did with Dennis Quaid ‘In Good Company’. It’s not necessarily a good motion picture but she is such a good actress, I want to state that is what you do best, the other stuff is secondary.’
However, Scarlett may not appreciate the advice as Tom – who can next be seen in ‘The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’ with Dev Patel and Dame Judi Dench – admits most younger stars do not ask him for help when he works with them.
The 64-year-old actor said: ‘I’ve never been asked for advice, not quite in that sense, most actors just know what to do.’
