Scarlett Johansson is putting off plans to appear on Broadway – because she suffers from “crippling” stage fright. The actress admits treading the boards in New York is a dream of hers, but she has to overcome a phobia of performing live first. The stagefright is made all the more surprising because Johansson happily appeared in numerous plays as a child actress. She tells America’s Glamour magazine, “I would love to work on Broadway, but I don’t know that it would manifest itself in musical theatre… I have terrible stage fright that I’d have to get over. (It is) crippling. Not as a kid. It came on when I was a teenager, and I think it somehow sticks with you.”

Scarlett Johansson is calling on Hollywood bosses to cast her in the next big movie musical – confessing her childhood dream was to be the next Judy Garland. The stunning star was recently forced to deny rumours she’s set to star in a forthcoming Broadway show – but Johansson admits she would love to take on an all singing, all dancing role, either on stage or screen. The actress tells Spinner.com, “When I was a kid, I started acting because I wanted to be in movie musicals and on Broadway. I took a lot of vocal lessons and I thought I was going to be Judy Garland or something. “It’s always been my dream to do a movie musical. I always wanted to sing on camera.” And with the success of recent big screen musicals Chicago, Moulin Rouge and Dreamgirls, the 24 year old is confident she’ll get the chance to show off all her talents: ‘I’m really excited that it’s sort of been revived. It’s nice that I maybe have a chance to do it.”

However, a spokesperson for the star says the rumour “is simply not true,” adding, “She hasn’t even been approached about it.” The show, which will feature Will & Grace star Sean Hayes, does not yet have an official debut date.

Scarlett Johansson was so obsessed with Frank Sinatra as a child, she grew up wanting to sound just like the beloved crooner. The actress, who has tasted minor success as a singer, admits she fell for Sinatra’s voice when she was a toddler and still swoons whenever she hears one of Ol’ Blue Eyes’ songs. She explains, “When I was a little kid, my favourite singer was Frank Sinatra. I thought that maybe when I grew up I could sound like Frank Sinatra. “He was a huge part of my childhood and my excitement about singing and music when I was a kid…I remember having this Fisher Price little tape player thing. It had a microphone attached to it… I used to pop in the Frank Sinatra cassette and I became absolutely obsessed with the Best of Frank Sinatra, and I would sing into the microphone with it.” … read more »

Scarlett Johansson admits she was terrified she would spend most of her days trying to get in and out of her skin-tight catsuit for Iron Man 2. The Hollywood beauty says she heard horror stories of talcum powder and stuck body parts when it came to squeezing into PVC costumes and she had nightmares about putting it on for the first time. “Thankfully it went on pretty good,” she says. “After the first time of being like ‘Okay it might not go on’, you learn to do quick change and I could get in and out of that thing in a flash really. “When I first saw it I was like ‘I’ve got to get into that suit and I’ve got to start doing it now!’ So it was just about seeing the suit and that was the challenge, getting into that suit and believing in the suit.”
