Scarlett Johansson has been urged to concentrate on movies

The `We Bought A Zoo` actress is the face of Moet Champagne and Dolce & Gabbana make-up but her `Girl With A Pearl Earring` co-star Tom Wilkinson believes the actress is wasting her talents in promos.

He told BANG Showbiz: "There are times I want to say to actors, `You shouldn`t be doing this, this is the one thing you shouldn`t be doing.`

"An actress I know quite well, who I haven`t seen for a few years now, but I used to know quite well is Scarlett Johansson. I want to say to her enough is enough already with the ads for make-up, she is such a good actress she`s probably making bundles and bundles of money being the face of whatever it is. But nevertheless I want to say she`s such a good actress! I was watching her yesterday in something she did with Dennis Quaid `In Good Company`. It`s not necessarily a good movie but she is such a good actress, I want to say that`s what you do best, the other stuff is secondary."

However, Scarlett may not appreciate the advice as Tom - who can next be seen in `The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel` with Dev Patel and Dame Judi Dench - admits most younger stars don`t ask him for help when he works with them.

The 64-year-old actor said: "I`ve never been asked for advice, not quite in that sense, most actors just know what to do."
