Scarlett ditches Hollywood glamour to work with Woody again

Actress Scarlett Johansson will sacrifice everything to maintain her position as Woody Allen's muse, even her usual glamorous good looks.

The Lost in Translation star ditched the frocks and rocks to star as Woody's leading lady in their third film together.

The twenty-two-year old appeared on the set of Allen's film, which is being shot in Barcelona, free of make-up, in an outfit that suited her role as a humble tourist.

But bad clothes aside, the face of L'Oreal still looked a million dollars.

The film, Scarlett's third with the infamous Oscar-winning director, will star Johansson, alongside Spanish beauty Penelope Cruz and heartthrob Javier Bardem. Allen has featured his favoured muse in films 'Scoop' and 'Matchpoint'.

Shielded by bodyguards and away from the sight of curious beachgoers, shooting started on the new film at a restaurant in a fishermen's neighborhood in Barcelona. The veteran director said he aimed to picture Barcelona "the same way I presented Manhattan to the world through my eyes".

The shooting of the film is expected to take seven weeks, including one week in the northern Spanish region of Asturias and one day in New York.
