Scarlett Johansson says her voice was a drawback

In the interview, Scarlett Johansson opened up about the beginning of her career. She said that when she was a little kid, she trained as a singer because she really wanted to do musical theatre. The Marvel star mentioned that her voice was so 'deep' it was impossible for her to get cast in a musical play. So she went into acting instead, the actor mentioned.

Scarlett Johansson further added that she would go on auditions and was like a ''cute little blonde girl''. Then she would open her mouth and say, “Buy this product, it is fantastic’ in a ''deep voice''. She stated that it was “quite a disadvantage” at that time. Johannsson recalled that she lost count of hearing casting directors ask her if she had a sore throat.
