April 28 (UPI) -- Scarlett Johansson wants to get drunk with her grandma lookalike.

The 32-year-old actress offered Geraldine Dodd an all-expenses paid trip to the premiere of her movie Rough Night after a younger photo of the 72-year-old went viral for her resemblance to Johansson.

"I have been absolutely inundated with e-mails and messages about how much we look alike," Johansson said in a video Dodd's grandson, Denver Dodd, shared Tuesday. "I had to look at the photo myself -- holy crap!"

"I want to meet you in person," she added. "I saw that you were, quote, 'drunk as a skunk' when taking that photo, and I would like to see your drunk face. I want to share a drunk face with you. Let's share a drink, Geraldine!"

Denver had posted a picture of a 22-year-old Dodd, titled "My Grandma Looked Like Scarlett Johansson When She Was Younger," that went viral on Reddit this month. Dodd happily accepted Johansson's invitation Thursday.

"I'm not going to be square. I'm going to drink with her [and] see if I can drink her under the table. She has got to remember to take it easy on me. I'm 40 years older than her," she said in an interview with TIME.

"It's an awesome feeling knowing that someone who deserves a little spotlight, like my grandma, gets to experience something like this," Denver added.
