Scarlett Johansson has lashed out at "ridiculous" reports she has shed 14pounds in weight for her role in Iron Man 2 - insisting she couldn't lose that much if she tried.

The 25-year-old star admits she slimmed down to squeeze into a catsuit to play Black Widow in the forthcoming sequel.

But Johansson is outraged over reports she went to extreme lengths to lose weight for the part.

I get flop sweats, dry mouth, heart palpitations, all over panic!Scarlett Johansson

She tells America's Glamour magazine, "There was this rumour mill cranking out stories that I had lost 14 pounds - I could never lose 14 pounds.I hate seeing these ridiculous articles where (tabloids) guess someone'sweight".

But the actress admits her fame has made her more self-conscious about her curvy figure.

She adds, "I have a tumultuous relationship with it because I love to get ready for the red carpet, but being on it is very uncomfortable. It's so freakish and weird. I get flop sweats, dry mouth, heart palpitations, all over panic!"
