J Law poses nude with snake in Vanity Fair's latest issue

Jennifer Lawrence, who was recently one of the victims of nude photo hack scandal, has posed naked for the Hollywood issue of Vanity Fair magazine.

The magazine shared the pic on Instagram where the 'Hunger Games' star can be seen lying nude on her front with a Boa constrictor snake crawling over her body, the Independent reported.

The magazine's fashion and style director Jessica Diehl said that the 24-year-old actress has the perfect combination of strength, sexuality, humour and, above all, tomboy to pull this off.

According to the publication, Lawrence only started to become uncomfortable when the snake took a particular interest in her neck and the shoot ended shortly afterwards, and the Boa slipped back into its protective box.

The image was taken as part of the magazine's annual Hollywood Issue, which will this year see British stars including Eddie Redmayne, Benedict Cumberbatch, Felicity Jones and David Oyelowo on the cover.
