Sgt. Dustin L. Williams posted a video last week in which he asks Johansson to be his date to the November Corps Ball. A few weeks ago, "Friends With Benefits" stars
Mila Kunis and
Justin Timberlake both received similar video invites in recent weeks (and both stars have said they'll attend).
Johansson, has said that she won't be able to make an appearance as she'll be in Europe shooting a film at the time, her rep told The Famous. But she will be sending a case of champagne in her stead.
"I feel incredibly honored to have been invited to the Marine Corps Ball by Sgt. Dustin L. Williams," Johansson said in a statement to 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 film making. Sgt. Williams, 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.
She closed it off by saying -- 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."
