Scarlett Johansson has put her boot in to Hollywood by saying that all actors should not be restricted in taking diverse roles and should be able to take what they want.

It comes after Johansson was slated last year for taking the part of a transgender character for the upcoming film 'Rub and Tug'.

Critics waded in on the news of her role by saying that the part should have been given to a transgender actor in the hope to increase diversity in Hollywood which it massively lacks.
