Wait? What? Scarlett Johansson is only 27 today?!

We certainly don't mean that in a bad way. After all, the birthday girl looks better than ever.

It's just that it feels like the stunning star has always been in our collective consciousness.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Scarlett's been doing what she does best since the age of 10 and has been wowing us ever since with her work in such films as The Horse Whisperer, Ghost World, Lost in Translation, Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Iron Man 2. (Just to name a few.)

And she certainly shows no sign of slowing down. Scarlett will soon be seen opposite Matt Damon in We Bought a Zoo and the highly anticipated multi-hero action flick The Avengers alongside Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, and Robert Downey Jr. Oh yeah, she's also set to make her directorial debut as well.

So, to celebrate her big day, we've put together a little gallery highlighting some of Scarlett's best big-screen moments. Check 'em out!
