It’s no surprise Joseph Gordon-Levitt looked so chuffed to finally get his hands on Scarlett Johansson after he dubbed his protégée’s sex appeal ‘off the charts’.
The Don Jon director couldn’t contain himself after gushing about what motivated him to pick the star for a leading role in his flick as the pair partied at Soho House Toronto during the city’s film festival.
‘I didn’t know Scarlett, but I spent more than a year with the image of her in my head playing this character. She couldn’t not do this,’ the 32-year-old actor-turned-director said.
He told Men’s Health magazine: ‘Look, Scarlett is a gorgeous, gorgeous woman, but if you just compare purely physical features, plenty of girls are just as gorgeous. But she creates this extra something. It’s in her walk, her eye
contact. The total package is just off the charts.’
Sadly for him the 28-year-old blonde has just got engaged to 30-year-old French journalist boyfriend Romain Dauriac after a whirlwind 10-month relationship.
