Brad Pitt, Scarlett Johansson And Kate Winslet Go Makeup Free In New Issue Of Vanity Fair

In Vanity Fair's Hollywood issue, Brad Pitt, Scarlett Johansson and Kate Winslet are photographed by American painter and photographer Chuck Close, and there was no makeup allowed!

While Pitt doesn't typically wear makeup when he's out and about with his kids, posing in a lit studio is a different story. The Daily Mail notes that the 50-year-old actor "is known to have facial acne scars," adding that he "is thought to use concealer-type products on a regular basis, as well as heavier make-up when on film sets."

The "raw portraits" were taken with "a rare and impressive 20-by-24-inch Polaroid camera," and in addition to the makeup and stylist ban, there stars were not allowed to bring an entourage with them, transportation was not provided and they had to make do with coffee and a sandwich for lunch. Every actor was required to be available for three hours and there was no leaving early.

Helen Mirren and Oprah Winfrey also participated in the shoot, Close told the mag, "I don’t do glamour shots, and they’re not airbrushed or whatever. So they can be, um…they can be rough. So I need to talk people through it. They have to give up a great deal of vanity in order to do it. And it takes a real act of generosity and faith on the part of the subject to go with it and to give me their image without having any control over what’s gonna happen."
