Scarlett Johansson loves bad boy

Scarlett Johansson is attracted to bad boys.

The 27-year-old actress who dated Sean Penn for five months this year after her marriage to Ryan Reynolds ended last December likes men who challenge authority and are adventurous, but she doesn’t care how they are perceived by other people.

“I’m attracted to the quality of being adventurous and perhaps a bit mischievous. And also questioning authority and being proactive,” she said.

“If that makes up a quintessential bad boy, then whatever.”

While she likes bad boys, Scarlett insists she won’t tolerate nastiness or bullying behavior.

“I’m not at all attracted to meanness or bullying,” she said.

“I do think conviction is attractive. I mean, really, who doesn’t?”

As well as dating Sean, the We Bought a Zoo actress has been romantically linked with stars including Bradley Cooper, Justin Bartha and Joseph Gordon-Levittsince she split from Ryan, but the Green Lantern actor recently admitted he has not found it easy to move on.

“Anyone who gets divorced goes through a lot of pain but you come out of it,” he said.

“I’m not out of it yet, at all. I don’t think I want to get married again.”
