Johansson said she had taken the two self portraits on her cell phone and sent them to her then husband, Reynolds.

Johansson said the photos - which showed her topless and nude reflected in a mirror - were taken three years ago when she was dating the Canadian born star.
'They were sent to my husband. There's nothing wrong with that. It’s not like I was shooting a porno - although there's nothing wrong with that either,' she told Vanity Fair magazine.
