John Legend Talks Chrissy Teigen Nude Photos: 'We Don't Mind Showing Off Our Bodies'

John Legend poses for a photo at the SPIN/AXE White Label Collective SXSW party held at Cheer Up Charlie’s on Saturday (March 21) in Austin, Texas.

The 36-year-old entertainer was joined at the event by Zoe Kravitz, who performed with her band Lolawolf.

John recently chatted about his wife Chrissy Teigen being pap’d while shooting naked.

“We don’t mind showing off our bodies,” John told ET. “We just feel like there’s no problem being natural and nude when you’re with the right photographer and it’s done the right way. We weren’t shy about it. We were working with Bruce Weber, who’s one of the greatest photographers on the planet. We wanted to do some great stuff.”

“Some lucky paparazzo caught wind of it. But Bruce’s presentation will be a lot better,” John added.

Anti-Bullying Advocate Lizzie Velasquez Debuts Inspiring Documentary 'A Brave Heart' at SXSW

Anti-bullying advocate Lizzie Velasquez speaks on stage about her brand new documentary A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story at the 2015 SXSW Festival this past weekend.

The 26-year-old inspiring young woman was once deemed “The World’s Ugliest Woman” in a disgusting YouTube video, and instead of taking it lying down, she has fought back against bullying. Lizzie has a YouTube channel and vlogs about her story, delivered a TED Talk that went viral, and has spoken in front of Congress in support of anti-bullying legislation.

Lizzie has a rare congenital condition that does not have a name. The condition affects her eyes, her immune system, and causes her to have 0% body fat.

“You have to be fully aware and confident that you are enough just being you,” Lizzie said (via MTV). “That’s enough! You don’t have to live up to anyone else’s standards, you don’t have to look like anyone else, you don’t have to compare yourself to anyone else. You being you is enough, and you putting your positivity and good vibes out into the world, once you get to that point absolutely everything will fall into place. Whether it’s your personal life, your work life, your school life, your confidence, everything will fit once you believe in yourself.”

Celebs have supported Lizzie as well. Chris Pratt recently tweeted, “Lizzie is a REAL hero and exactly the internet needs. Well done @bobfaris Watch this you guys! @ABraveHeartFilm.”

Watch the trailer for her film below…
