is — and not everyone is happy about it. The "It Ends with Us" actress' shoot was directed and photographed by famed filmmaker , who designed a setting for the magazine shoot that was inspired by British director Alfred Hitchcock. Lively is joined by fellow actor and friend on the magazine's lauded September issue cover.
"I'm a very shy person, so I don’t like doing photo shoots, really. Because when I'm acting, I'm playing a character. And I don't.
..I don't feel super comfortable in front of a camera.
It's part of why I don't want to be in magazines. I know it's not something I’m supposed to say — I mean, this is I think the first cover I've done in four years," she told Vogue. "I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say Baz is my favorite director, I just love Baz so much.
Because he celebrates love. Nobody does love like that." In the interview, she also speaks about her friendship with pop superstar , who she compared to Jackman and said, "to be friends with her is to have the most beautiful, effortlessly cool, witty, fun, fashionable, creative, caring bonus sister.
" Jackman and Lively's husband Ryan Reynolds are co-stars in a different endeavor: this year's history-making box office hit "Deadpool & Wolverine." The pair of A-list actors have a long-term friendship, and a yearslong faux feud that has culminated with their superhero characters' onscreen antics. But not everyone loves Luhrmann's creative direction — or Lively's cover.
On Vogue's posts of the cover, so.
