Los Angeles, October 08: Hollywood siren Scarlett Johannson, who wanted to be the next Judy Garland in her childhood, is desperate to show off her singing talent by starring in a musical.
The Match Point star was recently forced to deny rumours she’s set to star in a forthcoming Broadway show, but Johansson admits she would love to take on an all singing, all dancing role, either on stage or screen, Spinner.com reported.
“When I was a kid, I started acting because I wanted to be in movie musicals and on Broadway. I took a lot of vocal lessons and I thought I was going to be Judy Garland or something. It’s always been my dream to do a movie musical. I always wanted to sing on camera,” she said.
The 24-year-old actress is also certain that the success of recent silver screen musicals like Chicago, Moulin Rouge, Dreamgirls and Mamma Mia! will give her a chance to star in one such movie. “I’m really excited that it’s sort of been revived. It’s nice that I maybe have a chance to do it,” Johansson added.
