Scarlett Johansson has called claims that she recently lost a stone in weight on a crash diet “utter lunacy”. The actress is currently filming Iron Man 2 but took to her blog after reading reports that she was on an unusual diet. “If I were to lose 14 pounds, I’d have to part with both arms – and a foot,” Scarlett wrote. “Claims have been made that I’ve been on a strict workout routine, regulated by co-stars, eating sprouted grains I can’t pronounce. I would be absolutely mortified to discover that some 15-year-old girl in Kansas City decided she wasn’t going to eat for a couple of weeks so she too could ‘crash diet’ and look like Scarlett Johansson.”
