This is a complete non-story, but I just found it funny. God knows, we talk enough about body image and eating and who does and does not eat solid food… so it’s always nice when a Hollywood actress openly discusses her love of food. Not just any solid food – buffalo wings! Yes, Scarlett Johansson, no longer on a strict diet, is downing a crazy amount of buffalo wings. Have at it Scar!
Scarlett Johansson was picture perfect in her form-fitting black Versace dress at the Los Angeles premiere of “The Avengers.” However, the butt-kicking super hero insisted that it’s only a matter of time before she packs on the pounds.
“Oh my good [I am obsessed] with buffalo chicken wings, I am addicted to them,” Johansson told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column. “You will have to roll me down the red carpet next time you see me.”
Johansson’s new-found food of choice comes on the heels of the super strict diet and workout regime she followed to be able to slip into a skin-tight “Black Widow” suit for the highly anticipated Marvel Comics blockbuster.
“You have to eat a really clean diet, a lot of kale and salmon. Basically you get all your nutrients and then training like crazy,” she explained. “The training is crazy, but you just suck it up and do it. There is a lot of strength training and agility training, and fight choreography. You go in, and you just do it.”
So the result of all that blood, sweat and tears?
“It was absolute nonstop action, it was intense and just a rollercoaster of fights, stunts and explosions,” she said. “Then of course you have all these characters that do not belong together, and we are in the same room, and try to fight it out between us.”
And for the record, even as Johansson walked away, we heard her chatting about those tasty buffalo wings.
“I can’t stop eating them,” she whispered to her publicist. “I just can’t get enough.”
[From Fox News]
“I can’t stop eating them…” Are you that way about certain foods? I used to be. Like, I’m all about salty, carb-y goodness – that’s my Achilles heel. I can pass by donuts, pastries, candy, caviar, pancakes and all of that. But I can never say no to potato chips. Or French fries. Or mashed potatoes. Anything that was ever a potato, basically. But as I get older, I do tire of my old favorites. Is it age? Or are my taste buds changing? Anyway, let ScarJo have her buffalo wings. Just keep putting her in dresses with dust ruffles around the waist, and no one will notice.
These are photos of Scarlett and her boys promoting The Avengers in Rome. Jesus, she’s a lucky girl.

we can all see that dear…
LOL!! I agree!
She looks great! Good role model.
No wonder she looks so fat.
REALLY???
No wonder she looks fat??
Honestly, shut up, because she does not look even close to overweight or fat, and stop trying to feel better about yourself by commenting on someone else’s weight.
Jeesh, you missed the whole point of the article.
@ Shay:
I agree with you. I’m not a fan of ScarJo and I do find her obnoxious sometimes (and not that attractive) but good grief, people, fat? She’s not skinny and has cellulite but come on now, she’s nowhere near fat.
Were you raised on a vegan commune or something? God help you if you ever see an actually overweight person.
Girls, if we wouldn’t talk all the time about cellulite, guys wouldn’t even know what that is! 😉
I’d love to be “fat” like her. Sign me up for the buffalo wings!!!!!!!
Hmmm, dust ruffles, a potato sack shirt, cravings? Something’s up!
Yup, second that thought.
i understand your potato addiction, am like that aswell
i love it fried, boiled, mashed, roasted
I love her shape.
+1
PIZZA BITCHES!
Celebs are like us, except WE got the fat asses lol
I’m obsessed with almonds. I know its weird, but I could honestly eat them all day. I just have to be careful because they’re high in fat…. Like most good food 🙂
Ooh me too. I used to love them roasted, now I love them raw. I really don’t think you can go wrong eating nuts, though! It’s a much better type of fat than other kinds, anyway. Or maybe I’m just pretending there’s a difference.
fat isn’t the problem it’s calories overall. Fat is actually a very good thing! nothing keeps your skin dewy and youthful as you age like fat does. Just make sure they’re raw almonds, not roasted, to get all the nutritional benefits..! (unfortunately, in the U.S, the almonds are irradiated but they are still better than eating potato chips. )
Oh man. I just looked up what “irradiated” means…the food situation in this country is SO depressing. Everything is increasingly processed, and even when I think I’m eating something fresh and healthy and natural, I’m not. By the time my kids are adults, there’ll be nothing left but pink slime with lab-created vitamins and some extra bleach. Arg!!
I know I’m insanely lucky to live a life in which I have access to plenty of food, but at the same time, I think we’re breeding a lot of future cancer and disease with this stuff. Not good.
I got on the Ryan Reynolds diet last year. I have gone from a size 18 to a size 10. Friends tell me I look ten years younger. When I get hungry I eat ALMONDS, SO MANY THAT MY SON COMPARED ME TO A SQUIREL.
All I could think of when I read that was, “A gassy Scarjo with orange stained fingers.” No wonder Sean Penn was attracted.
I never got the appeal on this girl, she seems so ordinary to me.. and considering all the resources she can afford she seems TOO ordinary to me! ordinary face and ordinary body.
Ditto.
And she strikes me as having a bad attitude and limited acting skill, so I’m lost on this one.
pasta and cheese for me
Yes, I also have a problem with pasta! Pasta and potatoes.
Me, too. I even eat it for breakfast sometimes. I figure that way I have more hours in the day to burn it off 🙂
ME TOO. and the worst part is that my favorite way to eat pasta is with ketchup and parmesan.
that, and cheesy potatoes.
Cheese and pasta addict here! If there is no cheese in my house I lose it!
As a french I am obsessed with bread but only the real french one, the baguette or the bread from farms. It’s really bad because the “boulangeries ” are EVERYWHERE in france, I can’t resist, the smell is so amazing !
Yeah @Lise….me TOO w/the french baguettes. I love them SO much I want to try to make them from scratch myself. And you are right….only the “real”/authentic ones tempt me.
It’s so nice to see someone else w/my food addiction! Although I’m in the US, maybe it has something to do w/genetics? I’m 1/4 French descent.
Do you easily find good bread in the US ? I stayed in a host family when I was a teen, and the bread was horrible, but It was probably just the one I tried
Every morning should start with a healthy dose of Tom Hiddleston.
YES!!! My only response to this post was TOM HIDDLESTON!!!!!!!GAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
these extreme diet and workout plans, actresses undergo for movie roles, leads to disordered ‘binge’ type eating…. deny deny..train train..binge binge…then you gain weight faster since you underate for months prior. it sucks since it creates even more work when they have to lose it again. that kind of thing takes a toll on the body..eventually. I like her..she’s young, speaks her mind..isn’t overly attractive so is relatable…. that’s just my opinion of course. 🙂
I was thinking the same thing. You’d think being exposed to a healthy diet and exercise regimen would stick in some form after filming, even if just a very scaled back version. Instead the celebs seem to go straight back to their old, bad habits.
If I had the opportunity for someone to whip me into shape and feed me kale and salmon I’d at least try to keep it going as long as possible, for my own health.
How short is Mark Ruffalo? He is one undeniably beautiful man.
Seriously. Cannot watch 13 Going on 30 without falling in love with him. Every time.
He is ADORABLE!
Pasta! Remember when Jennifer L. gave that interview mentioning “pool of pasta” YAS!! Anyway, about ScarJo, no matter what she does lose or gain, she always looks the same to me. It’s just her boobs that change size. Seriously, didn’t she look exactly the same before the “Avangers”?
I concur on the potato statement. I am on a low-carb lifestyle but every weekend I HAVE TO HAVE my hashbrowns and egss with jalapenos and a veggie sausage patty. If I don’t have this “treat” I would lose my damn mind.
Good for you to limiting it to once a week. Life is too short to deprive yourself completely. But I wish I would be more disciplined about carbs!
I think the way she is style here is her best. Cute easy hair, minimal makeup, sleek clothing. She should do this all the time.
Eh, we’re all addicted to something, mine’s cupcakes. She’s such a pretty and talented actress.
I’m going to be unoriginal here and say: chocolate. I love it. My favourite one being ‘gianduia’ one with whole hazelnuts inside {also love most nuts}, but I eat every type you can think of, under any shape, be it mousse, ice cream, cakes, cookies, snacks, toppings… As a matter of fact, I’m going to go bake a red velvet cake, using white chocolate cream to fill it rather than buttercream.
I love everything potato-ey too!
However, my ultimate Achilles heel is whole milk with chocolate powder (not hot chocolate). I’d drink that instead of water if it didn’t have so many calories.
My guilty food is meat (like steaks and stuff) popcorn with butter and chocolate chip cookies. I could literally live o only these three things if it would be healthy… 😀
Any type of crusted bread with butter. REAL butter, REAL fresh bread, preferably a ciabatta of some kind…bonus points if it has olives baked into it.
After that, it’s any kind of dip. Hummus, guacomole, spinach, etc. No, really. Dip.
you should try melted cheese ! It’s AMAZING on bread. In France we have the “fondue savoyarde”. It’s a recipe where you put toasted bread into melted cheese with white wine. BEST.THING.EVER
Taking the tip. Thanks.
wasabi guacamole. mmmmm.
Icelandic skyr. I could eat a litre per day and it wouldn’t be enough. And it’s so good for you! And so delicious! It’s the most perfect food in the world, and someday, I will overdose and be the punchline of a terrible HuffPo article.
Siggi’s!!!!!!!!!!
I always spend so much money at Whole Foods for it, but I LOVE it.
A Whole Foods is opening this summer two blocks up from my office. I’m gonna be in heaven!
True story: I went on a date with Siggi before the company took off. It was the craziest date I have ever been on. If I’d known he was going to become a skyr baron, I would have somehow enchanted him to love me! Incidentally, he’s insanely tall and very cute.
i just hate anything sugary and salty i like bland tasting things like zucchini for some reason. by salty i mean i hate extremely salty things like ruffles chips but have no problem with average salty stuff ofc (cool starry bra)
Is her upper lip looking jacked to anybody else??
yes. and her nose job too. she looked better before all of that.
Celebs, they’re just like you and me.
Except when they’re not. I manage to do ok on my own, but if I had access to a chef and personal trainer I’d take full advantage. They wouldn’t change my love of all things fried, though!
Oh god, for me its cheese. I could eat things with cheese and melted cheese and cheese crumbleys on them every moment of every day. My boyfriend makes fun of me because every one of my recipes includes the tip: “Don’t skimp on the bleu cheese, just throw it all in”.
Also sometimes I have the most beautiful dreams where I think of the biggest stuffed potatoes smothered in melted cheeses and sour cream.
apparently something called cheese addiction exists. a couple of years back i was so addicted! i liked almost all kinds of cheese and would mostly eat cheese and not much else all day. then one day suddenly i got sick of it. i don’t know why but i just can’t eat cheese anymore. very rarely. another cool story bro
In my case – I’m just getting over a long term stupid illness that had me essentially house (and at times bed) bound for about 8 months (brown recluse spider bites that went bad and mucked up my heart – needless to say? I now scream like a 1950’s sitcom housewife if I see one of the buggers. Complete with jumping onto table tops and flailing.) and the antibiotics did a whammy on my tastebuds. For months, I couldn’t really eat much of anything, and by the time I could start, I couldn’t TASTE a dratted thing it seemed. Bit by bit, as I get my appetite back, I’m going through definite food phases…
The most recent was pomegranates and clementines. (sweet/tart enough I could actually TASTE something) Thank heavens it was the right season for both, because even at 2/$3 the pom thing got pricey – I likely mowed my way through a hundred before the phase passed. Clementines? I had my weight several times over – we have so many of those little crates they pack them in, my husband is using them to completely shelve his office.
Only good thing? I am now pretty much 100% scurvy proof for life, which if I decide to run away and become a pirate is handy, I suppose.
My salt and sweet cravings went through the roof while I went through chemo. I was never one for sweets before that. Even now, every so often, I feel like I could plow through a tub of ice cream or candy.
Dumplings.. anykind anyway. Don’t know why. But I will kick a kitten for some homemade chicken & dumplings!!
I’m a carb addict. Potato chips, french fries, pasta…gimme me, gimme me!
Love wings, but I like lemon pepper more than buffalo.
Damn! Now, I’m craving them.
Potato chips and garlic and chives cream cheese dip…. nom nom nom!
Mark Ruffalo *sigh*
real buffalo wings… yummy!
kaiser i just read the stuff you wrote about getting tired of your old faves. i’m 33 now and all of a sudden i got sick of all my old favourites and i was wondering if that is an age related thing as well. i am not so rude to ask your age but you might be onto something.
she really is a very beautiful woman! it’s a shame some people can’t see that.
Am I the only one who misread the title as ‘Ruffalo Dings’?
….okie, dokie, just me then.
I’m totally addicted to fresh bread that’s just come out the oven. Smother it in butter and enjoy ^^
Ooh, and enchiladas. With extra cheese.
Yay for the Hiddles!
OMG, I LOOOOOOVE chicken wings. I could eat them every single day. I am obsessed with finding just the right sauce, just the right crispiness, and just the right meat tenderness and flavour. I swear I only work out regularly just so I can eat ’em every once in a while without feeling like I killed my diet in the worst way.
Good ole mac and cheese and ribs. I love me some BBQ ribs.
I’m so bad about soda! I love it and can suck one down so fast. Then I want another. I know how bad it is for me. It’s just so good!
She’s beautiful – svelte or rubinesque.
