Scarlett Johansson has reportedly postponed her wedding – because it clashes with the U.S presidential elections.

The actress – who has publicly backed Barack Obama – is due to marry Ryan Reynolds this year.

But Johansson has put the nuptials on hold – because her twin brother, Hunter, is busy working on Obama’s campaign.

A source tells British newspaper the Daily Express, “He is working all the time so Scarlett wants to hold off until the election is over.”

The election is due to take place in November.

Between travel engagements to promote her new film Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Scarlett Johansson is working on her own engagement — and wedding — to fiancé Ryan Reynolds.

Friends say the 23-year-old beauty, who was spotted back in February trying on Monique Lhuillier dresses in L.A. and paging through In Style Wedding and Brides Magazines on Aug.5 in Beverly Hills, will most likely want something simple.

“Scarlett’s not big on some over-the-top wedding with white doves and 300 guests,” a pal of the actress tells OK!. In fact, the friend says the actress and 31-year-old Reynolds are thinking of having a small civil ceremony with just the two of them and Scarlett’s twin brother Hunter as the witness.

Ever the fashionista however, one thing Scarlett won’t skimp on is a dress! The Senior editors at Brides Magazine recommend the Amsale one-shoulder wedding gown. “It’s modern and its understated line is perfect for her curves,” they tell OK!.

Although the actress told OK! she has no wedding date set, she joked “I’m very excited. Hopefully I’ll be able to get through [Canadian] immigration much faster now!”

As for how Ryan’s holding up, pals say, “He’s just so excited she said ‘Yes’ that he doesn’t care when or where they wed, as long as she says ‘I do.’”

Scarlett Johansson has criticized Hollywood’s treatment of older actresses – insisting many women see their careers “wilt” once they get past a certain age.

The 23-year-old star is furious that a majority of the film industry is dependent on looks, and blasts movie bosses for ignoring the talents of mature actresses.

And Johansson insists that the rule doesn’t apply to men – as male actors don’t lose popularity with casting directors as they get older.

She says, “Women kind of wilt as men achieve as they get older, like wine. It’s like, ‘Oh she’s past her prime and can’t play a sex symbol’. It’s just a preconceived notion about women in general and particularly in this industry. It’s a very, very vain industry.”

And the Lost In Translation star is adamant that she is not as attractive in real life – because she is caked in make-up for all of her film roles.

She adds, “My hair and make-up artists spend hours upon hours plastering things on me to make me look sexier. I think it’s rare that you feel beautiful.”

Scarlett Johansson denies she has become director Woody Allen’s latest muse.

Allen admits the Lost In Translation star is the inspiration for his films, following in the footsteps of actresses and his former lovers Diane Keaton and Mia Farrow.

The actress has appeared in three Allen movies in as many years; 2005′s Match Point, Scoop in 2006 and the forthcoming Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

But Johansson rejects claims she has become a muse for the moviemaker, insisting they only work together to “have fun”.

She says, “I’m not his muse. Every single junket that we’ve done so far (for Vicky Cristina Barcelona), we always get the muse thing and we always say no, it’s not that way.”

“Woody and I both appreciate how wonderful it is to work with your friends, and it’s fun and we always have a great time when we do it, we entertain each other, we understand each other and we poke each other.”

Scarlett Johansson isn’t in a rush to walk down the aisle with fiance Ryan Reynolds – because she still feels too young to marry.

The pair announced their engagement last May after dating for just over a year.

Johansson says, “We’re just enjoying our time. We’re just recently – very recently – engaged. So, you know, we’re just taking it easy. And no big plan yet. But it’s a good time, and we’re just… enjoying our time to be young and engaged. I mean, I’m 23. There’s no reason to rush into it. Everything feels very natural and relaxed.”

Scarlett Johansson has ruined the dreams of her many male admirers – by branding her onscreen lesbian kiss with Penelope Cruz “the least sexy thing ever”.

The pair had to pucker up for their roles in director Woody Allen’s forthcoming movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

But Johansson admits it was the most awkward of all her onscreen clinches.

She says, “There were 60 crewmen eating salami sandwiches. It really was the least sexy thing you can ever imagine.”

Scarlett Johansson, who in May announced her engagement to Canadian-born actor Ryan Reynolds, says she’s eager to become an honorary Canadian – and hopefully pass through the border quickly from now on.

“I’m very excited,” the Vicky Cristina Barcelona star, 23, tells Entertainment Tonight Canada in an interview airing Tuesday. “I’ve had wonderful times in Canada. It’s a lovely country. It’s a beautiful country and hopefully I’ll be able to get through immigration faster now!”

When jokingly told by ET Canada’s Roz Weston that Reynolds, 31, is “a prince up there,” Johansson responded, “Wow. That’s fantastic. Do I get anything from it?”

Weston quipped that Johansson may receive a crown “made out of beaver” or “possible moose,” to which Johansson responded, “Okay, that’s creepy – an animal on my head. If it’s alive, maybe. Um, I guess so. I don’t know! I’ll take it!”

As for Johansson’s steamy kissing scenes with heartthrob Javier Bardem, 39, in Vicky Cristina Barcelona, she says, “It’s so not sexy … It’s just so not a big deal. I think also because half the crew is standing around eating sandwiches, it really takes the edge off. I’m like, ‘You guys really want to go to lunch, don’t you? Alright, just give me the tongue, give me the tongue. We’ll go to lunch after this. Come on Javier, give it to me.’ That’s how it goes.”
