Scarlett Johansson says her charity mission to Indian and Sri Lanka was a humbling experience. The Oxfam ambassador spent two weeks in the poverty-stricken countries working with the relief charity to increase awareness about global poverty and suffering. Speaking about leaving her glitzy lifestyle behind, she told US Today: "It was nice to feel part of the community. It's amazing to come home when you see people living in poverty. On one hand you're thinking, my celebrity life is so surreal, but it's my work and helps me bring awareness to Oxfam." Her next charity mission will take her to Africa and she hopes to visit Liberia or Ethiopia.
