Scarlett Dream Date is 'Dirty' Swayze

Scarlett Johansson told the audiences at Hasty Pudding Awards that her dream date is Patrick Swayze and she was subjected to some joke about Woody Allen and dating younger men.

Scarlett Johansson says Patrick Swayze is her ideal man. The blonde actress has had a crush on the actor since watching him swivel his hips in cult romantic film 'Dirty Dancing'. When Scarlett was asked to name her dream date, she said: "Who would I most like to be romantically linked with? Probably Patrick Swayze. That would be my dream come true."

The 22-year-old, who was receiving Harvard's Hasty Pudding woman of the year award when she made the comments, was also asked if she would consider getting steamy with a younger man. Scarlett joked: "Depends on how much champagne we have at dinner." The actress was then given a pair of oversized glasses and asked to impersonate her 'Scoop' and 'Match Point' director Woody Allen. One Harvard student joked: "You guys are pretty close, right? I heard he's almost been like an adopted father to you." Allen is married to his ex-lover Mia Farrow's adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn.

As she received her award on Thursday (15.02.07), Scarlett joked: "This is the closest I'll ever get to a Harvard degree, for sure." The prestigious honour is given by student drama group Hasty Pudding Theatricals to performers who have made a "lasting and impressive contribution to the world of entertainment". Ben Stiller is to be crowned Harvard Hasty Pudding man of the year on February 23.
