Keira and Scarlett bare all for Vanity
Published Wednesday, Feb 8 2006, 14:56 GMT | By Fiona Edwards
Keira Knightley and Scarlett Johansson will appear nude on the cover of this year's Hollywood edition of Vanity Fair.
Renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz shot the pair artfully positioned with fashion superstar Tom Ford, who is the only one in the picture wearing clothes.
Ford, the issue's guest art director, said he had not planned on becoming part of his own project, but he stepped in when Wedding Crashers star Rachel McAdams, 29, backed out.
"She did want to do it, and then when she was on the set I think she felt uncomfortable, and I didn't want to make anybody feel uncomfortable" Ford said yesterday on Good Morning America.
He also revealed that the stars were not worried about the nudity involved: "We didn't have to convince them. And you know, in today's world everything is vetted through a publicist, so they all knew right before they got to the set."
The pair are not the only famous actors to be shown in risque pictures - Angeline Jolie also posed nude for the edition, and will be shown in a bathtub, while George Clooney is depicted as a director filming a cast of women wearing just skin-toned underwear.
