Scarlett Johansson has turned down an American serviceman’s invitation to join him on the Marine Corps Ball due to ‘prior commitments’.

The Hollywood actress admitted that though she felt ‘incredibly honoured’ for the invite from Sgt. Dustin L. Williams to the November event, she would be unable to accept it.

However, she sent a case of Moet champagne for him as a token of gratitude.

“I feel incredibly honoured to have been invited to the Marine Corps Ball by Sgt. Dustin L. Williams,” the Daily Mail quoted her as telling Zap2it.

“Not only does Sgt. Williams deserve recognition for his bravery, selflessness and dedication to the United States and its people, but he also displays a cheeky talent for filmmaking.

“Unfortunately, due to prior commitments I will not be able to attend the Ball with you this year.

“But I am sending you a case of Moet and Chandon with gratitude. In my absence, I raise a glass to you and all the men and women of the U.S.

“Marine Corps, past and present, in thanks for your continued commitment to preserving the safety of our nation,” she added.

In his YouTube video, Sgt. Williams invited ‘classy, beautiful’ Johansson saying he would love to spend an evening with her.
