Scarlett scares suitors

Scarlett Johansson regrets saying she didn't want to date any man under the age of 30 - because young, eligible men are scared to chat her up.

The stunning 20-year-old actress, who is currently romancing 33-year-old actor Jared Leto, says she now only gets old men flirting with her.

She said: "It's horrible. I only get balding men with giant guts since that comment circulated. Young men can feel free to seduce me."

Last month, Scarlett said she wasn't worried about having older men as her on-screen lovers - because she thinks it makes the audience respect her more.

The blonde beauty, who has starred alongside Bill Murray, Colin Firth and John Travolta, thinks it is a compliment when she is cast opposite older men because she believes it shows film bosses want her for her talent and not her looks.

She said: "It's not something I really think about; it just happened that way. I've been fortunate to work with older actors who are incredibly talented. It's a compliment.."
