Guess we have different definitions for the word "famous". Scarjo was a rising star prior to the MCU and she wasn't an unknown name like Hemsworth and Hiddleston, but I wouldn't exactly have called her famous. Famous would have been someone like Angelina Jolie at that time. A-Listers. Scarjo was about as "famous" as Kate Beckinsale or Jessica Biel. A known name, but not exactly a household name and not exactly someone who could easily get big projects. In fact she had to fight hard for the Black Widow role and wouldn't even have gotten it had Emily Blunt not declined the offer. You do know most over 60s would probably still not know who Scarlett Johansson is right? Regardless of the Avengers. A "household name" to me is a whole family from grandparents to grandchildren knowing who someone is? Now, the grandkids will have that sorted not sure about the grandparents though. I'd argue that's not what a household name is. A household name is a name famous enough that it's recognized in most households, but that doesn't mean everyone in the household knows who they are. Someone like Brad Pitt or Samuel L. Jackson are household names. Known by most households but not necessarily all people from all generations inside a household. If you're talking about names that are recognizable across multiple generations by pretty much everyone in the world, like Bruce Lee or Elvis Presley, then that’s no longer a household name. You're describing someone whose reached full iconic status and possibly even legendary status. |
