Rumours that Scarlett Johansson was to play a porn star in her next movie have been dismissed.
It had been reported that the 22-year-old actress was set to star as Jenna Jameson in a film on her life, based on Jameson's autobiography, How To Make Love Like a Porn Star.
But a representative for Johansson told People magazine: "Scarlett has never seen a script nor been approached about this project.
"She also has no interest in playing this role."
Jameson, 33, had previously told the magazine that she wanted Johansson to play her and has been impressed with her looks and acting ability since watching her in Lost In Translation.
"I remember thinking to myself, this girl has such a sexuality without even really trying to be sexy," Jameson said. "I was like, 'This girl could play me'.
"I don't want someone who's going to go in there and be like bouncing around. I want someone who can bring some depth."
It has also been widely reported that the film of Jameson's life is, perhaps unsurprisingly, to be explicit.
"It has to be. Not because we want to draw male fans. Because I want to tell the true story," Jameson told People.
