Scar Jo advises young girls to "take risks and don't be afraid to fail"

Sharing about her past experiences, Scarlett Johansson recently advised the young girls to take risks in life.

The 31-year-old actress was at 'Power of Women Luncheon' by Variety at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Los Angeles, according to People magazine.

"I think I would say take risks," she said when asked about her advice for girls today.

The 'Captain America: Civil War' star was talking about the "pressure on women to be a specific way" in various spaces.

"Take risks and don't be afraid to fail because the upside of that is just so rewarding . I've really built a career on taking risks and sometimes it doesn't pan out but like I said, the upside has been hugely rewarding," she said.

Johansson is featured in Variety's latest 'Power of Women' issue for her charitable efforts with Planned Parenthood, a non-profit organization that provides reproductive health services in the United States and globally as well.

The 'Lucy' star is all set to lead the star-studded cast of the upcoming comedy film 'Rock That Body' directed by Lucia Aniello.
