by today

She is already a successful actress, singer and model, but now Scarlett Johansson can add Weather Girl to her repertoire.

The star read the weather on the Today show on Tuesday after filling in for Al Roker, who was suffering from laryngitis.

The outlook was sunny for Scarlett, who happily gestured to the satellite map behind her as she read the day’s report.

The actress, who turned 28 on Thanksgiving, had offered herself up for the role when the show’s team were looking for a replacement.

When asked if she had any experience, quick-witted Scarlett quipped: ‘I have long experience with weather.’

Scarlett was congratulated for her efforts after breezing through the segment, which was apparently a ‘lifelong dream’ of hers.

She even finished by rattling off Roker’s famous catchphrase: ‘Here’s what’s happening in your neck of the woods.’

Scarlett was wrapped up warm to deliver her report, dressed in a black and white tank top under a black coat and wide-leg blue trousers.

Al stood by her side while holding an umbrella over her head to protect Scarlett from the New York rain.

After filming her stint on the Today show Scarlett headed to a photo call for Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, which she is starring in on Broadway from January 17 – with previews kicking off from December 18.

Earlier this month the star attended the Big Apple premiere of the film, in which she stars as Janet Leigh.

And waiting in the wings for her was her new Frenchman boyfriend Romain Dauriac.

Romain attempted to go unnoticed and dressed inconspicuously as he hung around behind the railings at the Ziegfeld Theatre.

Once Scarlett had finished her red carpet turn the pair headed off together.
