Scarlett Johansson Spotted sunbathing in Italy with an Unidentified Man

Posted by  on

Scarlett Johansson’s skin might go scarlet with that amount of sunlight.

The sexy actress soaked up some sun on a boat in Italy. The actress took a break from her hectic schedule to have some needed R&R. The Avengers star fashioned a white bikini and very glam shades and a visor to resist the strong rays of the sun as she chilled on the boat somewhere in the town of Taormina.  But, another man (in short swimming shorts!) was spotted right beside her. Who is this guy?!

Apparently, the guy was just Johansson’s bodyguard of two years, Marco. And chill down, folks, cause if there was anything that this man is touching on that boat, it would just be his Blackberry.

So hold on to those questions, Scarlett fans, because the actress is still dating that advertising executive she was spotted with last January, Nate Taylor.
