Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson has rebuffed reports that she acted like a diva on the set of pop superstar Justin Timberlake's new music video.

Johansson appears in the music video for the song 'What Goes Around...Comes Around'. During the shoot Johansson apparently halted the shoot when she was barred from smoking and supposedly said: 'How come we have fire dancers, but I can't smoke?'

People were not allowed to eat in front of her and her bodyguards asked people to go elsewhere if they wanted to eat, reports imdb.com.

But actress' publicist slammed the reports and said: 'Johansson is always respectful of other people and never made this statement. Also, Johansson doesn't have a bodyguard.'
