Hollywood beauty Scarlett Johansson has hinted she has a bad relationship with her The Island director Michael Bay, declaring the movie-maker has "lots of enemies".

Johansson and her Island co-star Ewan McGregor's acting skills were blamed by producers after the action thriller failed to reach box office expectations.

In a recent New York Times interview, Johansson talks about her love of on-set gifts and her pet Chihuahua.

She says: "On the set of The Island. Ewan McGregor gave me coats and collars and lots of dog toys."

After mentioning Bay has huge pet dogs, Johansson adds: "He needs them. He has a lot of enemies."

When asked if Bay gave her any presents on the set, Johansson laughed politely, but did not elaborate.
