She didn't pull a Demi Moore on the cover of Vanity Fair, but actress
Angelina Jolie did pose nude during her pregnancy, a published report claims. The sexy new mom reportedly used renowned portrait artist Don Bachardy, 72, of Santa Monica, says an insider close to the painter.
Life & Style reports in this week's edition that the sexy new mom knew of the artist's work through her dad and the insider says the artist believes, "She's one of the most beautiful, elegant celebrities in the world - ever."
The artist had to fly to France and Africa to capture Jolie's beauty on canvas, Life & Style reports.
"Angie knew of Don's work through her dad, Jon Voight," says the insider. "Don was so excited to get her call. She flew him to meet her in France and Africa."
A friend of the artist, Sue Hodson of the Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, Calif., confirms to Life & Style that Bachardy did the work with Jolie - but she says it's been kept secret.
"Angelina Jolie has asked him not to talk about or show the portraits," Hodson says.
