Scarlett Johansson's Brazilian terror

Sep 25, 2006, 12:52 GMT

Scarlett Johansson was terrified before having her first Brazilian wax, it has been reported.

Insiders say the 'Black Dahlia' actress - who booked in to New York's Oasis Day Spa recently - was "a nervous wreck" before stripping off for the potential painful beauty treatment, according to the New York Post newspaper.

When the gorgeous blonde removed her clothes, a source revealed: "The waxing crew couldn't stop admiring her body."

Meanwhile, the curvy star has revealed shooting sex scenes with real-life boyfriend Josh Hartnett was not romantic.

Scarlett, who stars opposite the actor in 'The Black Dahlia', admits filming the raunchy sequence was far from fun.

She said: "It was interesting doing that scene with Josh but it wasn't particularly romantic. Shooting these sorts of scenes often end up being more funny than anything else. I'm glad it comes off as sexy because in reality it was more like an organised boxing match."

Scarlett - who met Josh on the set of the movie - admits it is hard to get into a sexy mood when you are surrounded by a film crew.

She revealed: "You have about 10 electricians chewing on sandwiches and staring at you as you writhe around. Then you have the director shouting at you."
