Actress Scarlett Johansson says while it is flattering to be called sexy, at times this praise feels like a trap as she feels it denotes limitation.

"I think perhaps people at some point in the industry would have had a certain idea of my physical capability - sort of like a trap. And there was this label put on me as this bombshell," Johansson told Variety in an interview.

"I think while it's been flattering to be someone who is sexy, there's something very confining about that. It implies that your strength comes from your sexuality," the 31-year-old actress said.
