Scarlett Johansson is staying as far away from social media as possible.
The Marvel star, 38, said she refuses to use apps like Instagram because she’s “too fragile a person to have social media.”
“I can’t. My ego is too fragile,” she said on Monday’s episode of “The Skinny Confidential Him & Her” podcast.
“My brain is too fragile. I’m like a delicate flower.”
The “Marriage Story” star said that she has “enough anxiety” in her life without social media.
“I had Instagram once for three days and when I started realizing that I’d spent 20 minutes looking at somebody’s Instagram page who worked for a friend of mine,” Johansson said. “I now know you have a pit bull and two daughters and you live in, like, Burbank.”
That’s when she said she knew that being on the app was a huge of waste of time.
“I felt so bad, like I was missing out on this random person’s life,” she added. “I was like, I can’t do this.”
The “Black Widow” star did acknowledge she has an account for her skincare brand, The Outset, but isn’t sure she’s “using it properly.”
However, Johansson said she has a soft spot for TikTok.
The mother of two sometimes likes to make “terrible videos” with her brand co-founder Kate Foster for the platform.
“We’re both so bad at it, but it’s fun,” she joked. “I like to read customer reviews and perform them for people on TikTok.”
Despite deeming Instagram a timesuck, ScarJo said she loves to go down the rabbit hole on her For You Page.
“Everytime I see it in the office, I then become like a 3-year old with their mom’s phone where I get completely absorbed into it,” she said. “So, that’s why I know I can’t have it.”
Johansson also got candid last year about the amount of provocative roles she took on when she was younger, claiming her old management team “groomed” her into taking on “bombshell” parts when she was just getting started.
“I kind of became, like, an ingénue,” she claimed on iHeartRadio’s “Table for Two” podcast in December.
“Young girls like that are really objectified, and that’s just a fact, so I think whatever box they’re put into, it sort of sets you on this trajectory for how your life will go. Now, obviously women really are able more now to choose their own path,” she explained.
“I was playing the other woman and this object of desire and, you know, I suddenly found myself cornered in this place, like, I couldn’t get out of it.”
