Scarlett Johansson has responded to a rumor she had sex in an elevator with Benicio Del Toro, describing it as 'outrageous'.
The two actors starred together in Avengers: Infinity War, but years before then they were rumored to have hooked up.
Johansson, who was 19 at the time, was said to have met the then-37-year-old after the 2004 Oscars.
Reports at the time claimed they had sex in an elevator as they made their way to a suite at the Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles. But Johansson, now 37, dispelled the rumors this week while speaking on TheSkimm's 9 to 5ish podcast on Tuesday, 12 April.
"That was a story that followed me for a long time, but I always thought that was outrageous," she said.
"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."
Del Toro, now 55, previously gave an ambiguous response when asked about the rumor, with some taking it to mean it was true.
