Drug Addict Romance Was Horrible for Scarlett Johansson  8/30/05

Actress Scarlett Johansson has sworn off dating dangerous men because she once dated a cocaine addict and recalls it being a nightmare.

The pretty star, who is now dating Pearl Harbor actor Josh Hartnett, admits her nameless ex could never be trusted and she always felt a distant second to his love for drugs.

She tells US style magazine Cosmopolitan, "It was horrible. I won't allow myself to get involved with someone like that again because you're never as important as the drug.

"You can't trust them, and you never know where they are. They lie. Every time they blow their nose, you're like, 'Hmmm.'"

But The Island star insists not all her past relationships have been disasters - one sweetheart who she fell for when she was just 14 is still a close pal.

She adds, "You go through puberty and feel like there's nobody in the world who's ever going to understand you. Then you meet this person and you're connecting with them and exploring things you've never explored before. You never have that again.

"(You feel like) 'I'm gonna marry you and have your children.'"
