Stunning Match Point star Scarlett Johansson has been named the world's sexiest woman by lads mag FHM.
A survey by the US edition of the magazine found that the 21-year-old actress, who includes the The Island and Lost in Translation among her portfolio, is the sexiest woman on earth.
It represents a dramatic rise from ninth position last year - which cynics may put down to the fact that she recently appeared naked on the cover of Vanity Fair with fellow Hollywood stunner Keira Knightley.
"It's remarkable how quickly Scarlett Johansson has caught the attention of our readers," said the magazine's editor in chief Scott Gramling.
"Her sultry voice and striking beauty certainly have a lot to do with that, but so does the confidence she exudes. She seems to be one of those women who would be equally at ease on the red carpet as she would just hanging out with the guys."
Angelina Jolie, last year's winner, had to be content with second spot this time around while the top sportswoman in the poll was Russian tennis player Maria Sharapova - the 2004 Wimbledon champion coming in eighth overall.
Speaking after being told of the honour, curvy Scarlett thanked her fans for the compliment, saying: "One of the best things for a woman to hear is that she is sexy."
