In his post, Fazal shared a cropped picture of himself next to Hugh Jackman in a casino setting.
Fazal wrote, “Ok let me put it to rest – yes, that is me all secretly dressed up royalty crashing Baz Luhrmann’s Hitchcockian Whodunnit Casino scene. Hehe. And for the rest of this beautiful ensemble piece, what can I say? Anything for Baz Luhrmann.
” Fazal recalled how he came to be a part of the spread. He wrote, “I was filming a project in LA when I got the call. And I have truly been blessed that this was the third time Anna Wintour, who I can never thank enough, has had me out and about for my American Vogue outing.
So, we jump on a plane and we play. It was one shot, and the best part about Baz comin in was he shot the whole thing like scenes so, there’s my dreams of working with him coming true. Well, not fully – what? Almost.
.. what??? Thank you Vogue Magazine and team for being ever so kind.
And Blake Lively, you’re a rockstar! I do hope our paths cross again in good time. Mr Jackman – Aye aye. I wanna thank Michael Philouze for putting up with my suggestions on styling.

You met me with curiosity and were generous with that, nothing could mean more to me. Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin you know this, but you’re two of the artists I’ve admired the most and longest in my lifetime. To get to work with you both, was in the most literal sense, a lifelong dream come true.
And you’re even more wonderful as people. You see the best in everyone and everything, and because of that, that’s what you get from everyone. Thank you Anna Wintour for being in my corner since I was more Burbank than NY, and for never encouraging me to wash the Burbank away, but instead remain true to who I am at my core.
To the team of people who’ve been through it all with me. This is all of our first September issue. What.
A. Moment. Together.
