Johansson to sue over surgery claims

Scarlett Johansson has threatened to sue a magazine after it claimed that she had undergone plastic surgery procedures on her nose.

American magazine US Weekly featured a picture of the actress with the title 'A List Nip/Tuck' and quoted her as saying: "I definitely believe in plastic surgery. I don't want to be an old hag. There's no fun in that."

But 23-year-old Johansson has denied the claims and insisted that she has never gone under the knife.

The Lost In Translation star claimed that the publication could have misled her fans and given her prospective employers the wrong impression if they believed the feature.

In a statement Johansson said: "I have always been straightforward with the press regarding my body image and I am very concerned that my fans (and perhaps even my employers) will feel misled.

"Thus, I feel compelled to take immediate legal action against US Weekly."
