Scarlett
Johansson Bribed Lost in Translation Director
11/28/07
Scarlett Johansson was so insecure about having her bum on show in the
opening sequence to hit film Lost in Translation, she resorted to bribing
the artistic director to make it look flattering.
The award-winning actress, who plays a Lolita-type temptress in the
2004 production, told the man in charge of the slow, lingering sequence
panning over her semi-transparent knickers, to make her bum look pretty -
or he'd lose his job.
She says, "I told the director of photography that if he made my
arse look bad he'd never work again!
"He was like, 'I promise you - it will look really nice.' I said,
'OK, I'm trusting you,' and he came through. My arse looked OK."
