Scarlett Johansson sheds bizarre nickname, starts dating Dan White (photos)

While Scarlett Johansson has been trending about hating being called ScarJo, the nickname she earned from certain members of the press when her career shot to fame back in 2003 when she starred in Lost In Translation (there's irony for you!), this actress is moving on.

She's not only moving on from the moniker she dislikes with a vengeance, she's also moving on with rocker Dan White who is said to be Scarlett's new boyfriend.

The 27-year-old Johansson is allegeding going out with the British rocker and has spent a lot of time with the Tribes guitarist in London in recent weeks.

Apparently, the two celebrities met at a club where the musician's band was performing and while the actress was filming Under The Skin across the pond.

One British paper said:

"They got on like a house on fire and Scarlett was into his band's music. There was an instant connection. They've been seeing each other for a good few weeks. Dan's proper happy about it and what guy wouldn't be? He already thinks the world of Scarlett."

Meanwhile, while Scarlett Johansson sheds her nickname because she detests that terminology in reference to herself, she takes on a new guy in the form of rocker Dan White. He follows other paramours taken on by this alluring thespian (like Sean Penn, Bradley Cooper, and Justin Timberlake) after breaking us with husband Ryan Reynolds this past July.

Rock on ScarJo. Er, Scarlett Johansson.
