It looks like Scarlett will be cheering up the troopsScarlett Johansson is apparently set to follow in Marilyn Monroe and Vera Lynn’s footsteps as the forces sweetheart as she prepares to entertain the troops in Iraq.
The 22-year-old actress has reportedly signed up to visit US troops this autumn.
But despite releasing a debut album later this year, she’s not sure she wants to sing to the soldiers, according to the Daily Express.
“I’ll probably just take the stage, hang around and ooze sex appeal,” Scarlett joked.
Scarlett said she was honoured to have the experience.
“I’m so lucky that I have the opportunity to make some sort of difference,” she said.
The star would follow a long tradition of high profile singers who have entertained soldiers, including Marilyn Monroe, who sang to US troops in Korea.
In 1954 Marilyn took a detour while on honeymoon in Japan with hubby Joe DiMaggio to boost the American servicemen’s spirits.
