SCARLETT JOHANSSON was honoured with the
2,470th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Wednesday (02May12) and she
thanked her lucky stars to be immortalised in cement.
The Avengers star told fans and friends she was "over the
moon" about her latest accolade as she unveiled her plaque, confessing she
never dared to dream she's be among the 2,500 famous folk feted on Hollywood
Boulevard.
A native New Yorker, Johansson said, "This industry in which I was
practically raised has been so impossibly kind to me. There's never a day where
I go to set and don't thank my lucky stars to simply be a working actor."
The actress' mother, grandmother and sister joined her The Avengers
co-star Jeremy Renner at the ceremony.
Renner paid tribute to the unique Lost in Translation star, stating,
"Scarlett is built like a classic Hollywood
movie star. However, it is only betrayed by her no-nonsense attitude, her sharp
wit and self-deprecating sense of humour that truly defines her alluring
charm."
And talking about his experiences with her on The Avengers set, he
added, "For six months she continuously threw me around, beat me, stepped
on me, and wiped the floor with my dignity and self-respect every day all with
a smile on her face.
"But it was her emotional intelligence and commitment to truth that
allowed for me to be a better actor and, as a friend, made me a better
man."
