It was reported that the images – one of Johansson topless and other exposing her backside – were hacked off her cell phone. The Avengers actress reportedly contacted the FBI, and also had her lawyer send letters to website owners demanding that the images be taken down.

Now, several weeks later, Johansson is speaking out for the first time about the hacking of her personal images.

"Who doesn't want to protect their own privacy?" she told CNN. "Just because you're an actor or make films or whatever doesn't mean you're not entitled to your own personal privacy.”

Johansson spoke to CNN’s David McKenzie about the difficulty of maintaining privacy as an actor. “If that is sieged in some way, it feels unjust. It feels wrong.”

Johansson sat down with CNN in Nairobi, Kenya, after a visit with the humanitarian group Oxfam. She has been an ambassador for the group since 2004.

Johansson is not the first actor to recently deal with a hacking incident. There has been a wave of leaked personal photos, including some from Footloose star Julianne Hough and musician Kreayshawn. One hacker group in particular has said they are going after Hollywood, and took credit for both the Hough and Kreayshawn leaks.

Other celebrities that have reportedly been hacked include Jessica Alba, Christina Aguilera, Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus. All the victims are female.
