Woody Allen condemned for calling a 19-year-old Scarlett Johansson ‘sexually radioactive’ in new memoir

This was six months after she publicly defended Allen. Wonder why he doesn't use lines like this in his movies?

In the filmmaker’s controversial book, Apropos of Nothing, Allen describes first meeting Johansson after casting her in his 2005 film Match Point.

“She was only 19 when she did Match Point but it was all there: an exciting actress, a natural movie star, real intelligence, quick and funny, and when you meet her you have to fight your way through the pheromones,” Allen writes. “Not only was she gifted and beautiful, but sexually she was radioactive.”

He later adds of Johansson that he “used her in a few movies” and hopes to work with her again “before I die or senility sets in and I’m drooling, but not over her”.

He also jokes that casting Johansson and Penelope Cruz opposite one another in 2008’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona “caused each woman’s erotic valence to cube itself”.
