With her tight tee playfully pulled down over her nether regions, you would think a bottomless Scarlett Johansson was posing for GQ instead of the November issue of Glamour.

But whatever. Rather than trying to figure out what gender is actually being targeted here, let's just keep things simple and say the girl looks great.

As for what Scarlett dishes about once they get her talking...

"There was this rumor mill cranking out stories that I had lost 14 pounds—I could never lose 14 pounds," says Scarlett when the subject of body image comes up.

"I hate seeing these ridiculous articles where [tabloids] guess someone's weight...I can't look at somebody who is 6 feet tall and 120 pounds and say, I'm going to get that body. That's just never going to happen. You have to work with what you've got."

And work it she has. From movies to music to marriage.

"I never really thought about getting married—it just kind of happened," she says, referring to husband Ryan Reynolds. "You hope that a relationship makes you better, that you learn things about yourself...I feel more confident to explore things within myself that I hadn't thought about in the past."

Evidently, the feeling is mutual.
