Canadian superstar Justin Bieber has addressed the naked photos of himself on vacation that were published without his permission and managed to see the funny side. 

The New York Daily News recently published naked images of the Canadian while he holidayed in French Polynesia and his legal team have asked the website to remove the pictures within 12 hours of receiving their correspondence.

During an interview with Access Hollywood, the 'What Do You Mean' sensation explained that it was horrible to feel so violated and powerless:

"My first thing was like... how can they do this? Like, I feel super violated. Like, I feel like I can't step outside and feel like I can go outside naked. Like, you should feel comfortable in your own space... especially that far away." The 'As Long As You Love Me' heartthrob then joked about the situation, adding: "That was shrinkage for me."
