Scarlett Johansson takes on Ivanka Trump in SNL spoof
Avengers star delivers biting impersonation of First Daughter in mock ad for a perfume called 'Complicit'
In its latest satirical take down of US President Donald Trump’s inner circle, “Saturday Night Live” for the first time took aim at his daughter Ivanka for enabling her father’s more controversial positions.
Actress Scarlett Johansson on Saturday delivered a biting impersonation of the First Daughter in a mock ad for a perfume called “Complicit.”
In a bejeweled gown, Johansson glides through a glamorous black-tie affair to advertise the fragrance made “for the woman who could stop all this, but won’t.”
“She’s Ivanka, and a woman like her deserves a fragrance all her own. A scent made just for her,” the voiceover says.”Because she’s beautiful, she’s powerful, she’s complicit.”
She’s a woman who knows what she wants, and knows what she’s doing,” the voiceover says. “A feminist, an advocate, a champion for women…but, like….how?” (The video below may not play in some countries.)
“She’s loyal, devoted…but probably shoulda bounced after the whole Access Hollywood bus thing,” the ad concludes, in reference to a leaked tape in which Trump infamously brags about sexually assaulting women with impunity.
The Avengers star is the latest A-list actress to lend her talents in lampooning the Trump administration on SNL.
She joins Alec Baldwin, who has played the Donald Trump since the 2016 election campaign, and Melissa McCarthy, who has been amusing audiences with her portrayal of Press Secretary Sean Spicer.
