Allen 'totally captivated' by Johansson
19/08/2008 - 13:05:59Woody Allen has revealed why he keeps picking Scarlett Johansson to star in his films.
The 23-year-old beauty made her Woody debut in 'Match Point', and has since featured in 'Scoop' and the upcoming 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona'.
“I had Kate Winslet for 'Match Point' until the last week and then she said she couldn’t do the picture. I didn’t know Scarlett from a hole in the wall,” the acclaimed American filmmaker recalled to New York reporters.
“I thought she was too young to play the part. I knew Scarlett was a great actress and a beauty, but I didn’t know if she was really what I had written and I hired her and then I became totally captivated by her.”
