Two-time Oscar nominee Scarlett Johansson has officially denied an old rumor that she once had sex in an elevator with her Avengers: Infinity War castmate Benicio del Toro, but she didn't name him.
'That was a story that followed me for a long time,' the 37-year-old former child star explained on TheSkimm's 9 to 5ish podcast streaming Tuesday at 9pm EST.
'But I always thought that was outrageous. I was always thinking to myself, "That would be tough. It's a very short period, the logistics of that seem so unappealing to me."

'I'm a person who's terrified of being caught doing something I'm not supposed to be doing. So that made the story even that much more absurd to me.'

'I kind of like, you know, I, well.
Scarlett (pictured March 16) continued: 'I was always thinking to myself, "That would be tough. It's a very short period, the logistics of that seem so unappealing to me."
