Scarlett Johansson wants to high tail it to the Wild West and star as a brothel mistress.

The Lost In Translation actress told a US publication that she has yet to sink her teeth into a Western and dreams of playing the part of a local brothel owner.

Scarlett told Harper's Bazaar, "Every actor wants to work on a western. I would run a brothel, like a madam or something.

"I'm working with what I got. It's only so long that people are going to want to see me in a corset."

She added: "So I might as well do it now."
