Washington: Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence has stripped off her clothes and let a live Boa constrictor slither around her nude body in an image recently released by Vanity Fair.

Clicked by Patrick Demarchelier, the racy photo was taken back in last summer, Vanity Fair reports. 

The photograph will be a part of Vanity Fair's March 2015 issue.

Lawrence posed for the pic ahead of being targeted by hackers in a massive celebrity nude photo leak in September.

Vanity Fair’s fashion and style director Jessica Diehl said Lawrence was an easy choice for the provocative image.

“Jennifer has the perfect combination of strength, sexuality and humour, and, above all, tomboy to pull this off,” Fox news quoted saying Jessica. 

The magazine shared the pic on Instagram.
