Hollywood personality and actress Blake Lively is the cover star on the September issue of Vogue. Lively participated in a lavish photoshoot by the Oscar-nominated director Baz Luhrmann, which also featured Hugh Jackman, and India’s Ali Fazal! Both Lively and Fazal took to Instagram to share a note of thanks to Vogue as they’ve been featured in the most prestigious issue of the year. 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.
