Scarlett Johansson has spoken out on the way to romance her, so if you are looking to pull an A-list babe, pay close attention.

"I think it’s the full picture," the 22-year-old star tells People magazine. "I look at a guy and think he has such a cute nose or such nice eyes, but there isn’t one feature I look for in a guy. One thing that I look for that isn’t physical is a healthy confidence."

She continues: "If somebody is confident in a way that you would admire - being strong, funny - that can make someone you might not be initially attracted to more attractive."

The actress is starring in the upcoming film The Nanny Diaries, a romantic comedy adapted from the bestselling novel. It also stars Alicia Keys and Paul Giamatti.

And while the starlet has become a pin-up, regularly appearing in Most Beautiful... lists, she reveals that the confidence she looks for in others is present in her too.

"I think that everybody has days that feel more accepting of their own body than other days," she says. Before adding: "I wouldn’t say it’s something I struggle with."
