Scarlett Johansson has said that she is tired of being labelled a "harlot" because of her appearance.

The actress-turned-singer claimed that she found it irritating that people based their opinions on her endorsements for beauty products.

She told Spin magazine: "I have platinum blonde hair, and I'm extremely curvy. I pour myself into a dress and show up and strut my stuff at premieres.

"Of course I expect people will have certain ideas but it's weird if people associate the fact that I sell handbags or wear a bikini with who I am when I wake up in the morning.

"People think I'm going to be some brazen harlot, but I'm not out there with every Tom, Dick and Harry or catching hepatitis."

Johansson releases her debut album Anywhere I Lay My Head on May 19.
