So how did Scarlett Johansson celebrate her 21st birthday in November? A trip to Cabo with her best friends? A shopping spree in Paris, perhaps?
Nope.
The luminous young actress revealed on Wednesday's "Late Night With David Letterman" that she celebrated with friends and family — at a New York strip club!
"When I was 20 we went to Disneyland, but this year my brother wanted to go to a strip club, so we went there," she said.
Somebody in the party ordered a lap dance for Johansson, and although she was hesitant at first, she decided to be a good sport and accept the "gift."
She admitted that she felt awkward during the experience, because she hasn't mastered the fine art of conversation with a stripper.
"I never know what to say," Johansson said, "so I ask questions like, 'Are you in school?' [or] 'Is Candy your real name?'"

"I had this very tall girl ... she was Amazonian. She was, like, this tall really, really skinny girl," said Johansson. "She was quite manic and strange."
"So she's kind of gyrating into me," she continued, "[but] she was so thin that her pelvic or hip bone or some kind of bone bruised me. It was horrible!"
Johansson stars opposite Woody Allen and Hugh Jackman in the comedy "Scoop," which opens Friday.
