Johansson cavorts with Rushdie in promo

Author Salman Rushdie has made a cameo appearance in the video for Scarlett Johansson's single 'Falling Down'.

The Satanic Verses writer nuzzles Johansson's neck, makes her laugh and grins at the cameras three minutes into the promo.

'Falling Down' is Johansson's first release from her forthcoming Anywhere I Lay My Head album. The record features a selection of Tom Waits covers performed by the actress.

Johansson recently said that she was tired of being considered a "harlot" just because she is curvaceous and blonde. Her album is released in the UK on May 19.
