Scarlett Johansson is featured on the January 2009 issue of Cosmopolitan UK. The stunning cover shoot is accompanied by a revealing interview in which the accomplished young actress talks about her relationship with new husband Ryan Reynolds.

There’s only one problem, Scarlett’s quotes are completely fabricated; at least that’s the story her rep is telling.

“Ryan has a very romantic side. We both enjoy remembering little things that make us happy – for me, that’s what romance is all about. My mom is a romantic person and I think I inherited it from her. She’s very thoughtful and taught me there are many different ways you can be romantic.”

“This is a very beautiful time for me. Getting married is a huge moment in anyone’s life, and the few months leading up to it were a little crazy. But Ryan and I are in love, and we’re enjoying evolving our relationship together. I feel that my life and my work are heading in the right direction,” Scarlett supposedly told the publication.

Her publicist has now slammed the magazine, claiming journalists for the British mag were not granted an interview with Scarlett and that the article is completely false.

“(The article is an) obvious attempt… to gain monetarily by misinforming their readers. (Johansson) has at no point granted U.K. Cosmopolitan an interview, and she has never discussed her personal relationships with the publication.”
