“Lost in Translation” star Scarlett Johansson came to the Venice Film Festival to promote her latest picture but found herself fielding movie offers–from a star-struck journalist.
During a packed news conference for her film “A Love Song for Bobby Long,” the 19-year-old was ambushed by the young reporter from Chile.
“This is kind of a confession: I can’t sleep at night thinking about you. Sorry, I have to tell you. I’m a journalist, but I’m an actor too,” the Casanova said late last week. “Please, could you choose one of your favorites [movies] to make with me? Come on Scarlett, please?”
“Oh God. . . . Um. ‘Single White Female,’ maybe,” Johansson quipped, referring to the 1992 film about a woman whose roommate becomes dangerously obsessed with her.
“I’ve never seen it,” the reporter said. “What is it about? It is a love one?”
“Of sorts,” Johansson replied.
