Rising film stars Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley, better known for their work with their clothes on, have bared all for Vanity Fair.
Lost in Translation actress Johansson, 21, and Britain's Knightley, 20, who is Oscar-nominated for her role in Pride and Prejudice stripped naked for the cover photo of the magazine's annual Hollywood issue.
Fashion designer Tom Ford, guest artistic director for the Hollywood portfolio which hits newsstands on Wednesday, said the pair had few qualms about the shoot.
"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," Ford told ABC's Good Morning America on Tuesday.
But Ford said Rachel McAdams, who starred in "The Notebook" and appeared in Mean Girls, got cold feet at the last minute.
"She did want to do it, and then when she was on set, I think she felt uncomfortable, and I didn't want to make anybody feel uncomfortable," he said.
Angelina Jolie also posed naked - in a bathtub - for the special, which includes shots of a fully clothed George Clooney and a galaxy of other stars.
