Most of us, and probably them, know it but Scarlett Johansson has been one of the first to say it: acting is a pretty pointless.

“As actors, we make movies, we don’t save lives. What I do, it’s actually not that important,” she told German newspaper Financial Times Deutschland recently.

She went on to add, “I’m also not proud of my films. That was never a criteria,” preferring to just make movies that she herself would pay to see. “I definitely want to be in a Tim Burton film. That’s right at the top of my list.”
