Scarlett Johansson: Monogamy is not natural

Actress thinks staying faithful is difficult

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds married in an intimate ceremony in Canada on 27 September

Scarlett Johansson has revealed that she believes open relationships are more natural than monogamous ones.

The actress – who married actor Ryan Reynolds, 31, last Saturday – says she wouldn't want that for herself, but understands people who do.

'I'd never want to be in an open [relationship],' she says. 'But I don't think monogamy is a natural instinct for human beings.

'Monogamy can be hard work for some people. I don't think it applies to everyone and I don't think a lot of people can do it.'

Scarlett, 23, adds that details of her own sex life have been blown out of proportion by the media.

'I made a sarcastic comment to a journalist,' she tells The People. 'I said: "Apparently Benicio Del Toro and I had sex in an elevator." He printed it - but everyone took out the word "apparently".

'I don't like talking about my personal relationships - it always ends up kicking you in the face.'

Scarlett's is currently working on new film Vicky Cristina Barcelona, which is due out next year.
