Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber thinks Scarlett Johansson is "a natural star for musicals".

The music composer - who is responsible for shows including 'The Phantom of the Opera', 'Cats' and 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat' - met Scarlett to discuss the possibility of her appearing in the London theatre production of 'The Sound of Music'.

He said: "We had a lunch together - I think she would have been brilliant. She certainly has the voice to do it.

"It was a lunch that started off at 12.30pm and went on till after five because it was a lovely sunny day and we were performing various songs from musicals. She is terrific - a natural star for musicals."

Andrew also revealed he recently had a hit song in the UK singles charts, but refused to reveal which one.

He added: "I have had a chart hit that was not credited to me, yes - more recently than you might think. It went pretty much all of the way. I just love doing things that wrong-foot people."

Scarlett can soon be heard debuting her vocal talents on her new album, 'Anywhere I Lay My Head'.
