Scarlett Johansson is blasting Hollywood’s treatment of older actresses.

The 23-year-old Golden Globe-nominated star believes the American film industry is harder for women than men.

“Women kind of wilt as men sort of achieve as they get older, like wine or whatever. It’s like, ‘Oh, she’s past her prime and she can’t play a sex symbol,” a discouraged Scarlett laments.

“It’s just a preconceived notion about women in general and particularly in this industry. It’s a very vain, vain industry.”

The stunning Scarlett is currently lightening up the big screen in Woody Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
