In short, tough cookies are tough and strong and as such can be difficult to deal with, for better or worse.
All right, let’s read a few media examples to examine “tough cookie” in different contexts:
1. Scarlett Johansson is “one tough cookie” who “acts like a man” in her total disregard of her looks, according to the director of her latest thriller.
Luc Besson, 55, the man behind The Fifth Element, Subway and Léon: The Professional, also hailed the actress’s quick intelligence and said it made her ideal for the part of Lucy, a student who finds her brain power unlocked to a superhuman degree by a powerful chemical.
He said: “Scarlett loved the subject right away. She had hundreds of questions. And she wanted the challenge. She is a tough cookie and a hard worker.” He also said she does not deliberately “seduce” the camera, explaining: “She is incredibly photogenic. You can honestly do whatever you want with the camera and she is totally gorgeous.
“But what is amazing about her is she absolutely never plays with that. Scarlett doesn’t care. It’s about the part. She is very sweet. She is almost acting like a totally tough man. The beauty just comes by itself. I can see it through the lens and I can use it but she doesn’t play with it at all.”
