Scarlett Johansson Defends Nude Photos In December’s Vanity Fair

If “Scarlett Fever” is an obvious choice for a cover line featuring Scarlett Johansson, the actual selection of the actress is far less so. Cynically speaking, she has nothing to promote and magazines are nothing if not self-interested. She does, however, have a nude photo scandal in her not so rearview mirror, so there’s that. Also, this cover is gorgeous.

But back to the nude photos. This is what she had to say about them:

Scarlett Johansson does not seem the least bit ashamed when discussing her recent nude-photo scandal with Vanity Fair contributing editor Peter Biskind. “I know my best angles,” she says with her trademark insouciance. “They were sent to my husband,” now ex Ryan Reynolds. “There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s not like I was shooting a porno.” She adds saucily, “Although there’s nothing wrong with that either.”

If only more celebs could be so saucily forthcoming.
