Scarlett Johansson says all women have "body worries", including her.

Johansson's nude body, after all, pinged around the internet not long ago, thanks to a hacker.

For her new movie, The Avengers, Johansson managed to overcome worries about her non-existent physical inadequacies by working out until she was "bendy and fierce", as the Mirror reported, quoting from an interview the actress did on the British TV show Daybreak.

Gym training hurts

"It hurts and it hurts and it hurts," Johansson said of her gym training — but, she said, she worked out until it didn't hurt any more.

Then she slipped into her Black Widow catsuit and prepared to defend herself.

Johansson apparently relished taking part in the film's fight scenes.

Her catsuit was reportedly in tatters after filming ended, because her male co-stars weren't afraid to get rough for the sake of art.

They tried "to kill me for five or six months", the actress joked.
