Scarlett - who is widely considered to be one of Hollywood's most beautiful actresses - recently revealed the sex appeal she brings to her roles comes naturally.The 'Iron Man 2' star said: "I don't think about being sexy or being seductive. What you don't want to see is somebody trying to be sexy. That's the most unsexy thing." Despite having confidence in her natural sexuality, Scarlett is still shocked every time she lands a role. She added: "It always shocks me, when I get hired for anything. As soon as one project ends you never think you will get the chance again."'Scream' star Liev is an accomplished stage actor and won a Tony Award for his performance in a 2005 revival of the play 'Glengarry Glen Ross'.
