An actress is being criticized on twitter for thinking it's okay to not play herself in movies. The entire point of acting.

[TBP]

Or stalk of broccoli.

[DesertRhino]

She’s not afraid she would be a little wooden in that role?

[JBW1949]

Maybe she should play a leech...

[dp0622]

lol

[Tennessee Nana]

Does she have the right temperament for a tree ??? the right amount of intelligence ??? Trees are smart...could she pull it off ??? would she be convincing ???

:)

[EdnaMode]

LOL

[SMGFan]

There was disapproval when it was announced live action Little Mermaid would not be played by a white woman.

[Viking2002]

Then why don't you play a bivalve and CLAM UP!!!!!!!

[RegulatorCountry]

This agricultural appropriation must come to an end!

[Robert DeLong]

Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn. Oh wrong Scarlett.

[shalom aleichem]

I love her and yes she can and should be able to play any role.

This identity politics is nuts.

[Skywise]

Yeah but I draw the line for her at Bond.

[Bobalu]

I also think she is correct...she is good and can play the role of a tran.

Let her work for phuk sake...

[Bullish]

Okay, she has my permission to play any part she wants from a protoplasm to a Giant ape. From a weed to a giant redwood. From a pebble to a mountain.

I won't need permission to not watch.

[yarddog]

She could probably portray a sex robot. One which is not very good.

[mrsmith]

Scarlett Johansson has a great rack and should play whatever character she wants

[Paladin2]

I clicked on this thread for the [non-existant] pics. Bummer

[Calvin Locke]

Well, so much for her playing an eight legged freak.

The PC opinion of the article's author, "...taking parts that could be more accurately cast with members of the minorities they’re meant to represent does seem kind of—and we’re using a technical sociological term here—[expletive] up," is only to be expected.
