(CBS/AP) NEW YORK - Scarlett Johansson admits it still bothers her to think countless people have likely seen her naked.

"The Avengers" star speaks out in the May issue of Vogue magazine about having her email hacked last year, when private photos she took for ex-husband Ryan Reynolds were leaked online.

Johansson talks about going out to dinner and feeling "paranoid" that people in the restaurant had seen her body.

Still, she says she doesn't want pity and has coped by "tuning it all out." Because of that, she stopped following celebrity gossip and reading stories about herself.

She says she's found that ignorance is bliss. She says she's "way happier" and "more creative" now.

The 27-year-old also opened up about her divorce from Reynolds in the interview.

She said her split from the actor was "comically amicable," but far from easy.

"It was horrible. Of course, it's horrible," she revealed. "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."

Divorce, Johansson added, is "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."

Johansson also spoke about former beau Sean Penn - "We spent time together, yeah. I never put a title on it, really, but we were seeing each other" - and her current boyfriend, advertising executive Nate Naylor.

"It must be very strange for him," she said of the spotlight on their relationship. "It's totally bizarre. It's an adjustment--I mean, it's got to be an adjustment for him ... But he's really remarkably good about it."

The May issue of Vogue goes on sale nationwide April 24.
