Barack Obama has downplayed his "email relationship" with Scarlett Johansson – and says the actress doesn't even have his personal address.
Earlier this month, Johansson claimed to have a "personal dialogue" with Obama.
She told Politico: "You'd imagine that someone like the senator who is constantly traveling and constantly 'on' - how can he return these personal emails? But he does, and in his off-time I know he also calls people who have donated the minimum to thank them."
But Obama told reporters Tuesday that "she sent one email to [my assistant] Reggie [Love], who forwarded it to me.
"I [wrote] saying, 'Thank you Scarlett for doing what you do,' and suddenly we have this email relationship," he explained.
