LOS ANGELES: American actress and singer Scarlett Johansson has revealed that Universal Pictures urged her to join the social media platform, Instagram, to bring more publicity to her upcoming film, Jurassic World: Rebirth.
The actress is one of the few Hollywood celebrities who have resisted the social media bandwagon so far.
“I mean, even today, I got an email from Universal [Pictures], and they’re like, ‘Hey, would you consider joining Instagram in tandem with the release of Jurassic World: Rebirth?'” Johansson told InStyle magazine.
She continued: “I get a lot of pressure to join social media. [It does make me think] … is there a way where I could do this and stay true to who I am? It didn’t feel like I could.”
Scarlet believes the upcoming Jurassic World addition will do fine without her joining social media.
“The work that I put out there is all based on truth. That’s the key ingredient,” the Black Widow star added. “So, if I was a person who really enjoyed social media, then I could totally get on the bandwagon. But I’m not. And I think the film will do fine.”
Scarlett Johansson stars in the lead role of Jurassic World: Rebirth, alongside Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey. The film is scheduled to hit theatres on July 2, 2025.
The actress had told The Skinny Confidential’s Him & Her podcast that she doesn’t have a social media account because her “ego is too fragile”.
“I can’t, my ego is too fragile. I can’t deal with it, my brain is too fragile. I’m like a delicate flower.”
The actress revealed she has not followed in the footsteps of other celebrities who lap up the likes of Instagram and Twitter.
