JOHANSSON WANTS TO SHED SEX APPEAL FOR SCREEN

Hollywood star SCARLETT JOHANSSON hates her sex symbol status - and can't wait to shed the image in later life for heavier roles.

The Lost In Translation beauty, 24, finds it hard to receive plaudits for her glamorous looks - preferring to concentrate on her acting credentials.

And Johansson, who recently wed Canadian heartthrob Ryan Reynolds, wants to ditch the image in favour of more substantial movie roles.

She tells British newspaper The Times, "I look forward to growing in the industry and ageing in the industry. A lot of actresses take their meatiest roles in their thirties and forties. And I'm looking forward to that.

"I'm at a little bit of a funny age where I get that 'sexiest woman' thing, and it feels like a label for right now. But maybe when I get older, it won't be like that."
