Esquire magazine “screwed” by Scarlett
Drams behind the scenes of Esquire’s “Woman We Love” May issue that featured Christina Hendricks (Joan on Mad Men) on the cover.
Apparently, the honor was supposed to go to Scarlett Johansson (Iron Man 2) but according to Editor-In -Chief David Granger (who was in Toronto speaking at a magazine conference), “Scarlett completely screwed us.”
Thems fighting words.
Some insider told the New York Daily News that Scarlett was committed to the shoot but her work on current gig on Broadway may have gotten in the way of doing the shoot. They went on to say that the magazine was supposed to be featuring American woman (which sounds like clasping at straws).
Interestingly, Granger couldn’t be reached for comment, and his original quote which appeared in The National Post , isn’t on the online version of the article. A spokesminion for Esquire says they were “thrilled” to have Christina Hendricks on the cover but had nothing to say about the Scarlett situation.
Make of this what you will.
