Jessica Biel felt "disgusted" with herself after posing topless for a magazine
photo shoot aged just 17.
The 25-year-old actress - who found fame in US TV show '7th Heaven' when she
was 14 - agreed to controversially bare her breasts in Gear magazine to shed
her angelic image, but now regrets her decision.
Jessica said: "It was horrible. I embarrassed my family, I embarrassed myself.
I felt humiliated and taken advantage of."
Although she now wishes she kept her clothes on, Jessica believes it may have
been one of the best things to ever happen to her, because it made her toughen
up.
'The Illusionist' actress, who is dating Justin Timberlake, added: "Now I can
look at the pictures and not be disgusted with myself. I don't have to cry
about it. I consider it to be a really good learning experience.
"I learnt so much about being able to stand up for myself and being able to say
'no'."
