Oscar winning director Woody Allen is intimidated by Scarlett Johansson and says she is 'sexually overwhelming'.

Allen says it is impossible to concentrate when Johansson is around, reports contactmusic.com. He says, 'It's very hard to be extra witty around a sexually overwhelming, beautiful young woman who is wittier than you are. Any time I say anything amusing, Scarlett tops me.'

The two met and hit it off well on the set of their latest movie 'Match Point'. Johansson adds that she was surprised to find that Allen is 'actually very sweet, thoughtful and romantic, in his own strange way'.

Johansson, who also stars as a student journalist working at a university paper in Allen's forthcoming comedy Scoop, said she thinks of Allen the way Marilyn Monroe thought of Billy Wilder.

"It's our shtick,¡± she explained, adding Allen was "actually very sweet and thoughtful and romantic, in his own strange way."
