Johansson, 21, who is currently dating Josh Hartnett, 28, her co-star in the hit crime film The Black Dahlia, added: "One has to be socially aware. It's part of being a decent human, to be tested for STIs. It's just disgusting behaviour when people don't. That's just so irresponsible. This is starlet behaviour on a grand scale. Not only is Johansson unapologetic about having a sex life, she is implying that Hollywood actors have responsibilities just like the rest of us. It was a brilliant message to send out to young people.

Like the book, the film focuses on the fictional teenage maid, Griet. Scarlett Johansson plays her with a palpable feeling for what it's like to be on the brink of sexual awakening -- "ripe as a plum," in the words of Vermeer's lecherous art dealer.
