Scarlett Johansson Turns Down Porn Role

Recently, Jameson herself revealed that she would like Johansson to play her in an autobiographical film.

Jenna Jameson, one of the biggest pornography stars of the last few decades, said, "I remember thinking to myself, this girl has such a sexuality without even really trying to be sexy. I was like, ‘This girl could play me.’ I love her. She’s amazing. She’s smart, she’s funny."

However, it seems that Johansson was not interested in the part.  The film will be based on Jameson’s autobiography, "X, How To Make Love Like a Porn Star".

A spokesperson 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."
