Playboy founder, Hugh Hefner has revealed how he had to persuade Lindsay Lohan to go nude for the Playboy photo shoot, after her people were trying to get less and less nudity shown in the pictorial. Hugh also admitted that it was his idea to use the famous Tom Kelley photo shoot of Marilyn Monroe for the concept of the Lindsay Lohan Playboy shoot.
Hefner explained, "The pictorial and the concept for the pictorial came from me. She had done semi-nudes before. I wanted to do something that would be memorable. So what is more natural, since she is a huge fan of Marilyn Monroe, than do something that is a tribute to the red-velvet, Tom Kelley photo shoot of Marilyn Monroe that was our very first Playmate?”
He added, "I think it was essentially mama and the folks around her that kept pushing for less nudity and I said, ‘We're doing a nude pictorial here. We're going to do it in a very classy way and we're going to do it in a way in which it will not be forgotten.’ I think it was accomplished beyond anything I could have possibly imagined. People will not forget this pictorial." The Lindsay Lohan nude Playboy pics were leaked online but have since been removed.
