Scarlett
Johansson
has
been
'de-sexified'
for
her
latest
role.The
stunning
22-year-old
actress
decided
she
needed
to
play
the
dowdy
girl-next-door
for
her
portrayal
of
a
college
student
working
as
a
nanny
to
put
herself
through
school
in
'The
Nanny
Diaries'.
Co-director
Robert
Pulcini
revealed:
"We
thought
about
how
we
would
approach
Scarlett
because
she
is
very
glamorous,
but
she's
the
one
who
said,
'I
really
think
I
should
have
brown
hair
and
look
like
an
everyday
college
girl
in
this
movie.'
The
movie
-
based
on
the
best-selling
book
by
Emma
McLaughlin
and
Nicola
Kraus
-
also
stars
Laura
Linney
and
Paul
Giamatti
as
the
snobby
parents
of
a
spoilt
brat
in
need
of
a
nanny.
Pulcini added: "It's very much the story of a girl finding her identity. She's quite confused about what kind of future she should choose and she ducks out of her life for a period and deals with other people's problems instead of her own. She's avoiding that final step into adulthood." 'The Nanny Diaries' has already received the Hollywood touch, when it was adapted into an audio book and read by Julia Roberts.
