Bruni: Sarkozy liked my nude modelling

French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy says her husband was not upset when he learned of all the nude photos she did during her modelling days.

Bruni-Sarkozy told 'Vanity Fair' magazine that she gathered up her past nude shots to show President Nicolas Sarkozy early in their relationship, telling him: “You must know that this is going to come out.

“He said, ’Oh, I like this one! Can I have a print of it?”’ Bruni-Sarkozy told the magazine, which released an advanced copy of the interview today.

The 40-year-old model-turned-singer married Sarkozy, 53, in February after a whirlwind romance.

Her new album, 'Comme si de rien n’etait' (As if nothing had happened), appeared in record stores this month.

Vanity Fair’s September edition, with Bruni-Sarkozy photographs by Annie Leibovitz and an interview by special correspondent Maureen Orth, widow of late NBC newsman Tim Russert, hits newsstands on Friday.
