Vanity Fair features the crème de la crème of Hollywood on the cover of its April issue. BRAD PITT, TOM CRUISE, HARRISON FORD, TOM HANKS, and the king of cool — JACK NICHOLSON — all came together for the photo shoot of the new millennium!
On newsstands March 11, the ninth annual Hollywood issue of Vanity Fair looks at the legends, the big guns and the scene-stealers as Tinseltown gets ready to celebrate this year’s Academy Awards®.
“It was a very lively set,” JANE SARKIN, features editor for Vanity Fair, tells ET. “One by one they arrived. Some drove themselves, some had a driver, some came with clothes, and some came just as they were. It didn’t take them long to get ready for the shoot. Jack Nicholson kept everybody calm. He was joking with everybody the entire time.”
It was also a family affair. Cruise cruised in with his two children, and Hanks brought along his teenaged niece who was thrilled to meet Brad Pitt.
“Tom and his son did handstands and put on a little acrobatic show,” Sarkin contines, “Brad clowned around by putting Tom Cruise’s dressing-room sign under his white T-shirt, and Jack never took off his sunglasses, and smoked a cigar.”
