Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson have been separated for nearly a year. Practically ancient history by Hollywood's standards, but history has its way of creeping up on anyone. Particularly, famous celebrities who have provocative pictures stored on their hacker-friendly mobile phones.

Most recently, Johansson fell victim to nude photo hacker Christopher Chaney who has also leaked private pictures of female celebrities Mila Kunis, Jessica Alba and Christina Aguilera.

Unlike others who came before her, the Black Widow actress is unflappably unapologetic about her nude scandal. "I know my best angles," she said, clearly not bothered as she posed for a sultry shoot for Vanity Fair.

In an interview with the magazine, Johansson revealed the pictures that has everyone in a frenzy were taken for former husband Ryan Reynolds.

"They were sent to my husband (Reynolds)," the sultry redhead explained. "There's nothing wrong with that. It's not like I was shooting a porno." A beat, then she added saucily, "Although there's nothing wrong with that either."

The high-profile couple was married for two years before Reynolds filed for divorce in December 2010 citing "irreconcilable differences".

Johansson is usually tight-lipped about her love life, but offers a little insight about her divorce from Reynolds in recent interviews.

"I didn't really know what to do with myself," she told Vanity Fair. "It was such a strange time. There was nothing that was interesting to me. I had a very public separation. It was difficult. I felt very uncomfortable."

In an interview with German magazine GALA, Johansson admitted to feeling "quite depressed" after the split.

She refused to talk about the reason behind the break-up, saying it is too personal for the public. ""I will only tell you this: I can be overcritical - with myself and with other people. And I don't compromise."

"I pass judgment on people quite quickly," she admitted. "If I don't agree with someone or if I'm annoyed I will tell people to their face -- no matter how hurtful that might be. That can get me into trouble from time to time."
