Scarlett Johansson says cooking helps keep her 'normal'

Scarlett Johansson says cooking helps keep her "normal".

The stunning actress likes to unwind after a tough day by creating something in the kitchen as it gives her the routine she craves.

She said: "After a long day at work, I really like to cook. I actually find cooking dinner a really nice routine, especially after working, it makes me feel normal again. There is something nice about the routine. Often when you're working, you're travelling around a lot and you feel kind of disconnected - so I find having a routine like coming home and cooking dinner every day sort of makes me feel more at home."

The 24-year-old beauty also revealed she doesn't feel entirely comfortable with being regarded as a role model. She added to Britain's OK! magazine:

"I always thought you reached icon status after you left this world. I never signed up to be a role model as such. Of course, ever since I was a little girl I had an idea of what I wanted to do - which was to pursue my dream of being a successful actor. If that makes me a role model for people to look up to, then I suppose I am flattered by it."
