"If you're comfortable with yourself, then it's sexy. Maybe people think I look sexy because I feel sexy. I am a very liberated person that way."
Scarlett is comfortable with her sex symbol status and has built up a femme fatale image on-screen...though off set, she's happy to slouch around in jeans and a hoodie and doesn't seem to care if she's pictured looking rather less than glam.
From romping in the rain with Jonathan Rhys-Meyers in Match Point to cavorting with Justin Timberlake in his video for What Goes Around Comes Around, Scarlett loves to play the temptress. Unfortunately, the raunchy Justin Timberlake video came out just as JT and Cameron Diaz announced their split, and Scarlett was immediately presumed to be behind the break-up. In her latest flick, Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Scarlett also shares a hot on-screen kiss with Penelope Cruz. Trust Woody to mastermind that one...
While she may flaunt her assets for all they're worth on screen, away from the glare of the cameras, Scarlett is the antithesis of her on-screen persona: private, quiet and chilled out. She doesn't court paparazzi attention and flatly refuses to talk about her private life to the press, saying: "I'm not out there to publicize my private life. I try to avoid any situation where I might be harassed or followed."
Scarlett is living, breathing proof that when it comes to being sexy, confidence is paramount, and being a size zero is definitely not.
