SCARLETT JOHANSSON ON MARILYN MONROE

Scarlett Johansson

Sexy Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson is denying comparisons to the late Marilyn Monroe, and is insisting she shares very little with the former screen star. Johansson was compared to Monroe after an advertising campaign for Dolce & Gabbana was revealed last month, in which the actress poses seductively across silk bedsheets wearing just a corset. But Scarlett is adamant she wasn’t trying to channel Monroe in the sexy photos. She explains, "We really weren’t trying to recreate any particular image. It was just their idea of the iconic blonde, and naturally people think that’s Marilyn Monroe. "Having said that, I love Marilyn. I think she was incredibly beautiful and a very underrated actress. I am a curvy woman who is blonde, and perhaps we are both comfortable in our femininity, but I think that is as far as the comparison goes."
