Julia Louis-Dreyfus shocks in new magazine shoot

FIRST the Veep and Seinfeld star appeared naked on the cover of Rolling Stone. Now she’s one-upped herself with a shocking shoot for GQ.

JULIA Louis-Dreyfus gets busy with a clown in the May issue of American GQ.

The funnywoman posed for a series of hilarious — yet slightly disturbing — shots with a clown.

First, they meet at what looks like a circus, then they have sex, then he leaves, then they have a beautiful clown baby together. The end. If you ever needed a metaphor drawn out for you and splattered across colourfully glossy pages, this would be it.

Clearly she’s got a thing for redheads.

Clearly, the actor, 53, is all about clowning around. But with the new season of Veep killing it, Louis-Dreyfus admits that her mess of a character, Selina Meyer, isn’t fuelled by her own inner demons.

“I don’t have a s**t-ton of baggage,” she told GQ. “There’s not some grotesque, dark thing.”

Mark Seliger, who shot Louis-Dreyfus for GQ, is also responsible for her latest memorable Rolling Stone cover — the one in which she’s “wearing absolutely nothing but the immortal words of America’s founding fathers.”
