http://www.imdb.com/news/wenn/2006-02-08/ Nervous McAdams Backed Out of Naked Vanity Fair Shoot
Actress Rachel McAdams lost her nerve when she turned up to pose naked for
a new Vanity Fair photo spread - and it cost her a spot on the cover of the
provocative new Hollywood issue. The Notebook star was invited to pose with
British beauty Keira Knightley and Scarlett Johansson by the issue's
artistic director, designer Tom Ford, but pulled out at the last minute.
Ford explains, "She felt that she'd be fine with it and then she got there
and she realized that she really wasn't, and that was fine... She just asked
if she could be excluded from the cover." Ford himself replaced McAdams for
the Annie Leibovitz cover shoot - and posed with naked Knightley and
Johansson, who were also nervous about baring all to the world. He adds, "I
said to them, 'When you're 70 you're gonna look back and say, 'Thank God for
this picture - look how amazing I was.'"
