Speaking on stage at the Women in the World Summit in New
York, Johansson said she was disappointed that Ivanka Trump, in
an interview with CBS' "60 Minutes" this week, said the impact
she would have with her father's decisions, "most people will
not actually know about."
"This idea that behind a great man is a great woman - what about
being in front of that person or next to them or standing on
your own? ... it's so old-fashioned, it's so uninspired and
actually I think really cowardly. And I was just so disappointed
by that interview that she gave," she added.
A representative for Ivanka Trump did not immediately respond to
a request for comment.
"Avengers" star Johansson, 32, recently parodied Ivanka Trump in
a "Saturday Night Live" sketch last month that called the first
daughter "complicit" within her father's presidential
administration.
The sketch came amid questions about Ivanka Trump's possible
conflicts of interest after it was announced that she would
become an informal adviser to her father with an office in the
West Wing.
Trump has since said she would be taking an unpaid, advisory
role to the president to allay ethics concerns, and would be
joining her husband Jared Kushner, a powerful adviser to the
president.
During Thursday's discussion, Johansson was asked if she would
consider a career in politics.
"I've always been interested in local politics, I think that's
where you make the most effective changes in your community,"
the actress said.
"I would never rule anything out, but I have a very full life
right now," she added.
