The Nanny Diaries star Scarlett Johansson says she can't wait to settle down and start a family and is planning to open her home to an underprivileged child. Scarlett told USA Today newspaper: "I would love to have kids. I haven't really figured it out yet. I can see having a kid or two. And I would like to adopt children. I think I'm tender with children. I got along really well with them. They make me feel young, like you're nine-years-old again."
The blonde star also revealed she is set to travel to Iraq to visit US servicemen later this year.
She said: "I get letters from soldiers my age and younger. I wanted to go to Iraq in October, but it may be a little later.
"I don't know if I will sing for them. I'll probably just take to the stage and ooze sex appeal and hang around."
Scarlett, who has been compared to Hollywood legend Marilyn Monroe by director Woody Allen, often feels she was born in the wrong decade.
The 22-year-old actress explained: "Maybe Woody is just blinded by my shock of platinum hair, or maybe it's my body type. Honestly, I've never really understood the comparison. I absolutely love Marilyn Monroe, but I don't see it.
"A lot of times I feel like I was born in the wrong era. It was a very glamorous time from the 30s to the 60s, a really exciting time to be alive.
"You had Elizabeth Taylor, Dylan Thomas, artists, Lee Strasberg, studio heads - creative people. They worked in a different way then. Actors really homed in on their craft, bonding and living an artist's life. I wish I could have experienced that."
