Scarlet Johansson has a new interview in In Touch, and like her chat with Hello! last week she is pleased to discuss her sexiness. The 23 year-old actress says it makes her day when random people come up to her on the street and call her sexy. She was asked specifically about it, so it’s not like she only likes to talk about what a sex kitten she is, but she definitely doesn’t mind discussing it.

How does it feel to be considered a sex symbol?
It’s really nice when people, especially ones I don’t even know, come up to tell me that I’m sexy. It makes me feel really nice and cheerful. I would imagine everyone would react this way.

Johansson is out of touch if she thinks everyone loves to hear strangers tell them they’re working it. A lot of her fellow celebrities get super annoyed when random people tell them they’re sexy, particularly those packs of middle aged guys with cameras that follow them around. In fact Charlize Theron just told off a cameraman at the Denver airport when he politely thanked her for supporting Barack Obama at the Democratic convention.

As for her upcoming nuptials to hottie Ryan Reynolds, Scarlett says they’re not planned yet but she’s likely to keep it “as private as possible.” I guess that means no big spread in People:

Are you going to have a big wedding?
I haven’t even thought about it yet, but I’m a private person, so I’m sure it will be as private as possible.

Are you a romantic?
Yes I am, absolutely.

What makes you a romantic?
I think there are many ways you can be romantic. There is, of course, the romance that you have with your partner, your lover. But remembering what people like and what they appreciate and wanting them to experience and enjoy is – that’s romantic to me.

Scarlett also repeated the same plans she shared with Hello! – that she does want to do another album and that her next step will be to direct films, if possible. She said she’s wanted to direct since she first started acting.

I really like this girl and think she’s got a great head on her shoulders. There’s the whole ill-advised singing career thing, but no one is perfect and she remains pretty grounded and realistic apart from that major oversight. Last week Woody Allen denied that buxom Scarlett was his muse, but called her “one of the great American actresses.” MSat noted that she has two emotions – subdued and more subdued. She’s good at playing that character, though, and she’s definitely sexy and not stuck up about it. That’s more than you can say for a lot of other famous actresses.
