Scarlett Johansson's action ambition

Scarlett Johansson has said she would love to star in an action movie full of stunts.

The 24-year-old actress - who has had some action scenes in The Island and The Spirit - is tipped for the lead roll in new movie The Amazon Warrior, set in 200 BC.

Scarlett told the Daily Telegraph: "I think I'm supposed to be a gladiatrix. These film guys are crazy about gladiatrixes. But do I fit into the Amazon mould? I'm a Danish/Jewish girl from New York. I've done weapons training. I've fired all kinds of guns: 9mm semi-automatics, machine guns, shotguns. I've jumped off a 60ft building. I learnt to ride for The Horse Whisperer. But I've never done a full-on action role.

"I guess I'm still waiting for my Cirque du Soleil moment. It would be fun."

Scarlett Johansson eyes directing career in 'ageist' Hollywood

Screen siren Scarlett Johansson is eyeing a career switch as soon as she begins to wrinkle - she's preparing to become a director before movie bosses pass her up for another ingenue.

Johansson made her film debut at the age of nine in 1994's North, and already fears she'll be overlooked by the next budding beauty.

She tells America's Harper's Bazaar magazine, "It's hard to be a 24-year-old actor and not be typecast. A lot of roles are either for a sexy person or a Juno-type character.

"That ageism makes the actress fearful for her future, making her consider another path within the industry. There is some weird ageist quality in Hollywood, perhaps that's why I lean more toward directing and development.

"That's probably the direction I'll take; I can't keep up this face forever, you know."

Scarlett Johansson says married life is a "very beautiful time" for her

Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson has broken her silence about her married life, saying "this is a very beautiful time for me."

The 'The Black Dahlia' actress, who married Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds in September this year, revealed after getting married, the couple is gradually evolving together.

"This is a very beautiful time for me. Getting married is a huge moment in anyone's life, and the few months leading up to it were a little crazy," Us Weekly quoted Johansson, as saying.

"But Ryan and I are in love, and we're enjoying evolving our relationship together. I feel that my life and my work are heading in the right direction," she added.

Johansson, who has dated Jared Leto and Josh Harnett, admitted that before meeting Reynolds she was "in situations where a guy hasn't been into me".

"It's either they don't want to commit or put in the effort, or they're too involved in their own thing, you don't always meet the right person at the right time, and I think it's important for people to figure out their own lives before involving someone else - to gauge where you are and work on your own issues," Johansson said.

"Reynolds has a very romantic side. We both enjoy remembering little things that made us happy - for me, that's what romance is all about," she added.

Scarlett Johansson speaks of Lindsay Lohan's insults

SCARLETT Johansson has finally broken her silence over the claims that rival actress and wildchild Lindsay Lohan called her "ugly" and "fat", amongst other taunts.
The American National Enquirer claims that after Lohan called Johansson “ugly” and “fat,” she didn’t stop there – labelling Jessica Simpson “dumb”, Keira Knightley “flat” and “a cardboard cut-out” and Sienna Miller a “no-talent crackhead”.

Lohan also modestly followed up by loudly proclaiming about her own talents that she was the “best actress in the world”

Celebitchy report that Lohan actually went further and scrawled an obscenity about Johansson on the wall of a club toilet - a word we can't print here.

A shocked Scarlett Johansson has now told December's Allure she doesn't know why Lindsay Lohan doesn't like her.

"I really don’t know that person. I only met her, like, three times," says the actress, 23, who lost the lead role in The Parent Trap to Lohan when she was 13, US Weekly report.

Lohan famously scrawled vulgar words about the actress on a Big Apple bathroom stall 2½ years ago.

"That's what I heard," Johansson says of the incident.

"I don’t know what the motivation was behind that. I remember it was something really vulgar — I mean, shockingly so, like, 'Whoa, what, who are you?'"
