LIEV SCHREIBER HAS 'FALLEN' FOR CO-STAR SCARLETT JOHANSSON

Liev Schreiber was "blown away" by his co-star Scarlett Johansson in rehearsals for their upcoming Broadway production A View From The Bridge - and has "kind of fallen" for the actress.

The Lost In Translation beauty is making her Broadway debut in the Arthur Miller show, which sees her play the niece of Liev Schreiber's character, Eddie Carbone, is obsessed with.

And the Defiance actor is full of praise for his co-star.

He tells Entertainment Weekly, "I've just been really impressed with her composure. Broadway is a pressurised situation and we've had a really short rehearsal period. She's really evolved so much, especially over the last two to three weeks.

"I'm blown away by her. I've kind of fallen for Scarlett."

The show previewed at the Cort Theatre over Christmas (09) and is set to officially open on 24 January (10) for a 14-week run.
