Scarlett Johansson admits she married "way too young".

The 27-year-old actress wed Ryan Reynolds in late 2008 after dating for around 12 months. Just two years later they announced they were separating before finalising their divorce in 2011.

Scarlett now believes she rushed into the nuptials too soon.

"Weddings are hard work. I married way too young, I wasn't ready," she told the French edition of Elle.

"You open your arms to someone you love and promise to share everything with him, it's frightening."

However the Girl with a Pearl Earring star has no regrets. She blames the breakup on her and Ryan spending too much time apart while they were working on movies.

"We have lived two unbelievable years. They were as quick as a flash. But two actors together, it's pure madness! Each is animated by the desire of success, the egos are too strong. Too many absences, silences. It's really difficult to build something."

The stunning beauty seems to have her choice of men as she turns heads with her curvy figure. But Scarlett shrugs off any suggestion she is a sex symbol in Hollywood.

"It's time for me to exit from this equation Scarlett Johansson = sex bomb!" she said.

"If that image sticks, it is not my fault, I never did anything for that. I came at a moment where young actresses with curves were rare. The trend was more towards skinny girls. As I seemed to feel good with my weight, people thought I was different. And they yelled, Sex bomb'. I'm not 20 anymore, I need to move on."
