Superbad star Jonah Hill was brought back down to earth after the success of the comedy smash hit - when Scarlett Johansson snubbed him during a night out.

The actor's pals claimed Johansson was sure to recognise him and convinced him to approach her after coming across the Lost In Translation actress in Los Angeles.

But Johansson mistook him for an obsessed fan.

Hill reveals, "Right after Superbad came out I wrote a movie with some of my friends. We all went out to get beers one night and saw Scarlett Johansson. My friends were like, 'You were in movie. She probably saw it. You should go and say hi.'"

"I walked by and she was trying to get to the bathroom and tried to walk by me. I said, 'Hey Scarlett.' She had no idea who I was. I said, 'It's... Jonah'. She said, 'Cool,' and walked around me."
