I work out like a guy: Scarlett Johansson

Los Angeles, Aug 23 (IANS) Actress Scarlett Johansson says she exercises like a man because she likes to lift weights in the gym.

The 28-year-old actress said that she heads straight to the weights room when she hits the gym and prefers to sculpt her body than do cardio exercises, reports contactmusic.com.

"I go to the gym twice a week, but if I'm preparing for a role, I sometimes go every day. I'm not a fan of cardio, I like lifting weights and doing exercises to work my core muscles. To be honest, I work out like a guy!" she told French Elle.

However, the actress is far more feminine when it comes to her beauty routine.

"I've always loved eye-shadow. When I was younger, my mother would always get dolled up before she went out, I've inherited the same habit.

"In the evening, I wear bright red lipstick and accentuate my eyes. I like to have an expressive gaze, with lots of layers of mascara," she said.
