Scarlett Johansson changed her hair colour because she was "bored" on a rainy day.

The naturally-blonde actress tired of her tresses and decided to go dark red because she was stuck at home with nothing to do.

She explained: "I was bored one day. It was raining and I was with a hairdresser friend and we just decided to colour my hair. We experimented with a few shades until we got the right one. I like it."

Despite her dramatic transformation, the 'Lost In Translation' star insists she has always been happy with her natural hair colour because it reminds her of her favourite Hollywood icons.

She added: "For a long time I've had really white-blonde hair. I'm naturally blonde - my dad is Danish - and I was playing up to it. I wanted to act out all those famous blonde icons - Lauren Bacall, Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe.

"Ever since I started on the red carpet, my idea of glamour was the Golden Age of Hollywood. I like to be feminine and give people what they want. The hair, the make-up, the gown, the diamonds. That, to me, is glamour."
