Washington, Dec 23 : Scarlett Johansson has admitted that she immensely enjoys White House correspondents dinner and loves getting drunk during the event.

The 27-year-old said that she primarily enjoys the event because she does not have too be that involved.

“They call it the prom – Washington’s prom,” US magazine quoted her as telling in Anderson Cooper’s eponymous talk show.

“For me, I feel kind of like a chaperone. [I just] enjoy it and don’t have to be completely involved.

“We’re just expected [as entertainers] to get drunk and make fools of ourselves,” she quipped.

At the White House dinner this spring, an onlooker revealed that Johansson and then-beau Sean Penn made out ‘right as the main course of the dinner was being put on the table.’ Johansson even sat on Penn’s lap during part of the meal. (ANI)
