Scarlett Johansson Talks Politics And Equality On Cover Of CosmoGirl's November Issue

October 9, 2008 10:07 am CDT 

Scarlett Johansson gets political in a new interview with CosmoGirl magazine. Gracing the cover of its November issue, the newly married movie star dons a smile and a peace sign as she talks about politics.

The 23-year-old actress - who has recently married actor Ryan Reynolds - says celebrity endorsements as "unavoidable" in this day and age.

She explains, "In this day and age, the media has this 24-hour news cycle that they need to fulfill their obligation to. And it seems like celebrities are a huge part of that, so it just seems unavoidable. It's important to bring to light certain issues."

"If this spotlight is already shining on me and I feel like there's a worthwhile cause, then why not direct it toward that? I hope that my [involvement] encourages the youth population to go out and inform themselves."

Johansson also reveals her thoughts on equality saying, "I think that we still live in a country that's sexist and racist. Those are issues that we deal with whether we want to ignore it or not."
