Actress Scarlett Johansson says she was `surprised` by her daughter's appearance when she was first born five months ago.

The 30-year-old, who welcomed her daughter Rose with her husband Romain Dauriac, says the newly born didn't look anything like what she'd imagine. But the actress wouldn't change anything about her baby now, reports dailymail.co.uk.

Speaking in the new issue of W magazine, Johansson said: `When she came out of me, I was so surprised. I had a very strong picture in my mind of what my baby would look like.

`And, of course, she is completely different. Perfect, but not what I'd imagined. Now, of course, I can't picture her any other way.`

Johansson got back into shape in just 20 weeks and believes breastfeeding has helped her a lot.

`It's the best way to get back in shape. (I do) the whole bit. I'm nursing and I love it,` she said.
