Scarlett Johansson On May Vogue Talks Nude Photos and Divorce



Old school glamour: A candid Scarlett Johansson finally opens up about her relationship with Sean Penn and divorce from Ryan Reynolds as she posed for a stunning old Hollywood style shoot

In an interview that accompanies a stunning photoshoot by photographer Mario Testino, Scarlett Johansson admits that the scandal left her somewhat paranoid. 
The intimate photographs, intended for Reynolds, went viral on the Internet and the actress was forced to call in the authorities. She said: 'When all those photos came out, of course I go out to dinner and think, Goddamn it, these people have all seen my... 
'That’s terrible. You know what I mean? You can’t not think that. Even if they haven’t, you’re paranoid.'
But she insists she doesn't want 'pity', or want to be a victim.
'It wasn’t just me. It was others. I don’t want to be a victim and say, ‘Oh, well’ and just hide my head in shame. Somebody stole something from me. . . . It’s sick. I don’t want people like that to slide.'

Johansson gave a surprisingly candid interview, speaking about all aspects of her love life past and present.
She opened up about her unlikely relationship with actor Sean Penn last year, who was 24 years her senior, shared her pain over her divorce with Hollywood hunk Ryan Reynolds, and gushed about new man, advertising executive Nate Naylor.

The 27-year-old said of Sean, 51: 'We spent time together, yeah. I never put a title on it, really, but we were seeing each other.
'He’s a remarkable person. He really is.'
Scarlett said there was intense fuss over the relationship which 'was a little bit of an adjustment' as she endured relative privacy while married to Ryan for two years from September 2008.
'We always kept our story private—how we met, our wedding, everything. It was about us.'

She said that in the summer of 2010 she took a road trip around Europe with Ryan, after he'd filmed Green Lantern, which started the downfall of their marriage.
Scarlett had just finished filming Iron man 2 alongside Robert Downey, Jr. and knew The Avengers was coming later, but she said she took a long time hunting for her next film.
'It was nice, but at the same time, I was like "What am I going to do with myself?" I don’t know. I was waiting. [It was] a hard time . . . I was feeling very out of my own skin.

'[The divorce] was horrible. Of course it’s horrible. It was devastating. It really throws you. You think that your life is going to be one way, and then, for various reasons or whatever, it doesn’t work out.
'This was something I never thought I would be doing. And there’s no way to navigate it. Nobody can give you the right answer. It’s never anything you want to hear. It’s a very lonely thing. It’s like the loneliest thing you’ll ever do, in some way.'
But she said she had no regrets about the marriage.
'It was a beautiful thing. The falling in love and getting married and making that commitment.. I think it’s nice to know that you’re capable of loving somebody in that way. I think it’s a rare opportunity.
'I don’t feel on the other side of it completely, but it gets better,” she says. “It’s still there. More than anything, it’s just that not having your buddy around all the time is weird. There’s no rule book. I think it’s just time.'

Outspoken: Scarlett Johansson graced the cover of Vogue, talking about her divorce with Ryan Reynolds and her new relationship with Nate Naylor


She described the couple's split as 'comically amicable'
Headlines appeared in December 2010 that the couple had split and they released a brief statement saying: 'We entered our relationship with love and it’s with love and kindness we leave it. While privacy isn’t expected, it’s certainly appreciated.”
Scarlett said she wished she had spent more time with Ryan, getting to know one another without having the pressure of their two careers.
The actress recovered while filming Cameron Crowe’s We Bought a Zoo, in which she played a zookeeper at a run-down animal park.
The film was shot outside in the hills of Thousand Oaks, California, and Scarlett described the experience as 'blissful . . . like some hippie dream'.

She has been dating New York–based advertising creative director Nate Naylor; who she says must be feeling strange about being chased by the papparazzi all of a sudden, but he had been 'remarkably good' about it.

Jennifer Lopez on Vogue April 2012,



The 42-year-old superstar graces the cover of April Vogue and sat down  for an in-depth interview
with writer Jonathan Van Meter. Van Meter brought up Anthony ‘drinking cans of beer and chain-smoking Newports’ at a photo shoot with the fashion magazine seven years earlier, which Jennifer responded with: 'He’s still doing it! Look we are total opposites that way. I’m used to that from growing up where I did.  The men kind of drink beer and smoke cigarettes, and women kind of like…don’t. But those things were not the issue so much. It became about something else,' she added.  
'Without going into detail…it’s just really, really sad.  
'And look, we are still going through it, and it’s emotional sometimes and difficult.'
She added: 'We’re still friends – and we’re parents but it’s going to take time. It’s tough. 
'But for the most part, I feel very proud of the way we’re handling it. I really do. We are doing the best we can for the kids.'
Jennifer, who did the interview the day she appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres Show with Anthony, also explains that their split hasn't been as easy as it seems.

'What you saw today, on Ellen, it’s very dignified and trying to be above all the emotions and pain that come along with a divorce and a family breaking apart. This is grown-up stuff.  It’s real, serious, grown-up stuff.'

She told Van Meter that she wants to keep her romance with 24-year-old dancer Casper Smart private. She said: 'He’s adorable.  But you already see that. He’s a good egg.  I don’t want to talk about it too much.  It’s my private thing.'
However Lopez' manager Benny Medina broke ranks to explain why the singer fell for her much younger boyfriend Casper Smart.

The executive, who is godfather of his business partner and friend's twins, said it was the dance choreographer's magic hands that made her melt.
He told Vogue: "She’s not oblivious to her own reality right now, as in, 'Damn, I’m 42 with a 24-year-old. Why?' 
'We talked about it yesterday. She was just like, "It’s not even the age, Benny. It’s actually that I just came out of a relationship where I felt like I was kind of not getting what I needed.  And I’m open!'
So somebody who steps in right now and is actually touching me in a way – it’s very fertile ground!"
Medina continues,  'The thing that I always sort of wished is that she would give herself time to just naturally meet someone, instead of having obsessive guys pursue her. The ease with which that obsession becomes a relationship I think sometimes works against her ability to have a real meaningful relationship. And she never half does anything. When she commits to anything in her work, her life, or her relationships, she is in it.'
