Sean Lennon and his model girlfriend Kemp Muhl have recreated the iconic Rolling Stone cover of Yoko and John where The Beatles legend is curled up naked beside his wife. The shot, which was lensed by legendary photographer Annie Leibovits, was taken in 1980 hours before Lennon was assassinated in NYC.
The snap below was taken by Terry Richardson the fall issue of Purple magazine. In the picture, roles are reversed with Sean remaining fully clothed as his mother had done 28 years ago, and his GF Kemp taking it all off and even showing some nip.
In 1969 a fourteen-year-old kid named Jerry Levitan snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto, Canada with his reel to reel recorder and persuaded him to do an interview about peace.
"38 years later, Imetthewalrus.com says, "Jerry has produced a film about it (called I Met the Walrus). Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon’s every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries traditional pen sketches by James Braithwaite with digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon’s boundless wit, and timeless message."
The animated film has received numerous accolades including a 2008 Academy Award nomination as Best Animated Short Film.
