SCARLETT JOHANSSON - JOHANSSON STOOD UP BOWIE FOR ALLEN

JOHANSSON STOOD UP BOWIE FOR ALLEN

SCARLETT JOHANSSON missed out on meeting DAVID BOWIE when he headed into the studio to record backing vocals for her debut album - because she was busy filming a WOODY ALLEN movie.
The 24-year-old was in Spain filming scenes for Vicky Cristina Barcelona when Bowie dropped by the studio to lay down his vocals on two tracks for her 2008 LP Anywhere I Lay My Head - and Johansson was gutted she missed out on the opportunity to see him.
She tells Glamour magazine, "Unfortunately, I was in Spain shooting when he came in.
"I said to Woody: 'If you knew what I sacrificed to be on this set.'"
The actress is close to Allen, who has cast her in three films - but insists she doesn't try and impose her musical tastes on the director.
Johansson adds, "One day, I said something about Neil Young, and he was like 'Neil Young... Neil Young... who's Neil Young?'
"I was like 'Who's Neil Young?!' It's impossible. He won't even eat a new kind of sandwich."
