Exclusive First Look: Leonardo DiCaprio Relatively Unairbrushed on Russian Interview’s Debut Cover (New York Magazine)

Leonardo DiCaprio appears on _Interview_’s first Russian issue, helmed by ex-
Russian _Vogue_ editor Aliona Doletskaya. The magazine, which hits newsstands
around the world beginning November 26, is _Interview_’s first international
edition in its 42-year history (a German edition will come out simultaneously
ten times a year). With a superstar like Leo on the cover, accompanied by an
interview conducted by Doletskaya and Clint Eastwood, they don’t even need to
rope readers in with promises of makeup- and Photoshop-free shots of him,
though his wrinkles just might suggest as much. “If we’re talking about the
first issue and the best talent you can book for it, it is Leo,” Doletskaya
says. “There’s no need for the last name. Because there is only one Leo.”
Well, aside from Madonna’s astrological sign, that is. After twelve years at
Russian _Vogue_, Doletskaya says, “Experience with a new brand, especially a
legendary one like _Interview_ will be very different. It’s almost like
comparing herring to a mango. But of course, I love herring, especially with a
shot of vodka and I’ll take a mango in any exotic tropical form.” Now that is
our kind of editor.
