Scarlett Johansson missed out on meeting David Bowie when he headed into the studio to record backing vocals for her debut album - because she was busy filming a Woody Allen movie.

The 24-year-old was in Spain filming scenes for Vicky Cristina Barcelona when Bowie dropped by the studio to lay down his vocals on two tracks for her 2008 LP Anywhere I Lay My Head - and Johansson was gutted she missed out on the opportunity to see him.

She tells Glamour magazine, "Unfortunately, I was in Spain shooting when he came in.

"I said to Woody: 'If you knew what I sacrificed to be on this set.'"

The actress is close to Allen, who has cast her in three films - but insists she doesn't try and impose her musical tastes on the director.

Johansson adds, "One day, I said something about Neil Young, and he was like 'Neil Young... Neil Young... who's Neil Young?'

"I was like 'Who's Neil Young?!' It's impossible. He won't even eat a new kind of sandwich."
