Zack Sharf Digital News Director Scarlett Johansson is one of the rare Hollywood A-listers to not have a social media footprint on major platforms like X and Instagram, and it doesn’t seem like that’s about to change.

Speaking to InStyle magazine for a new cover story, the Oscar nominee revealed that her “Jurassic World Rebirth” studio recently asked her about whether or not she would join Instagram to help promote the summer blockbuster.

She’s just not interested. “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 said. “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.” “The work that I put out there is all based in truth. That’s the key ingredient,” she added. “So if I was a person who really enjoyed social media, then I could totally get on the bandwagon.
