Scarlett Johansson has revealed that stage fright could hamper her singing career.

The 23-year-old, who releases her album of Tom Waits covers Anywhere I Lay My Head on May 19, told Orange.co.uk: "I have crippling stage fright so it would be a challenge for me.

"It would be a shame to not play it out because it's a massive sound, so it would be cool to hear in a large space. But I think it would be weird to do a whole show of covers."

Johansson added that she had ambitions to perform at a music festival.

"I think maybe at a festival, it would be nice to play with a band, I'd have to think about it, to get my head around singing it in front of people."
