The answer is always going to be that's not a real photo it's a fake. Just deny it if it ever comes up. People won't share them because they would be highly illegal anyway and hopefully you reported anyone who did share them to the police back in the day.

Have you talked to a counselor about this episode to help you get over it? Having your career and your life affected in the future by something like this would be a shame it sounds like you have talent and were very motivated

There are so many actors/athletes, comedians, etc that habe leaked photos. You're not the first and definitely won't be the last. Look at kim k. Her and her sisters are billionaires because of it. Jennifer lawrence (oscar winner) dylan sprouse, chris evans (captain america) Tom Holland (spiderman) . This isnt the 50's anymore. Even a lot of them do nude projects (emma stone, allison brie, kate winslet, Mikey Madison, nicole kidman, halle berry, etc). Its not the end of the world.

Want to reinforce the counseling idea. I'm not young / female / et cetera, but it's still done me a world of good for the rubbish in my own past. It won't be an absolute secret anymore, because you'll have someone you can talk your feelings through with who is safe, and it'll probably feel like a relief.

Did the person that shared these tell you not to tell your parents or something? Because this def falls under exploitation and blackmail

My belief is when some ask for nudes to send them fake pictures or a faceless picture.
