Scarlett Johansson To Go To Iraq

Scarlett Johansson is set to travel to Iraq to visit US servicemen later this year.

She said: "I get letters from soldiers my age and younger. I wanted to go to Iraq in October, but it may be a little later.

"I don't know if I will sing for them. I'll probably just take to the stage and ooze sex appeal and hang around."

Scarlett, who has been compared to Hollywood legend Marilyn Monroe by director Woody Allen, often feels she was born in the wrong decade.

The 22-year-old actress explained: "Maybe Woody is just blinded by my shock of platinum hair, or maybe it's my body type. Honestly, I've never really understood the comparison. I absolutely love Marilyn Monroe, but I don't see it.

"A lot of times I feel like I was born in the wrong era. It was a very glamorous time from the 30s to the 60s, a really exciting time to be alive. You had Elizabeth Taylor, Dylan Thomas, artists, Lee Strasberg, studio heads - creative people. They worked in a different way then. Actors really homed in on their craft, bonding and living an artist's life. I wish I could have experienced that."

Meanwhile the blond star also revealed she wants to adopt a child.
