Scarlett Byrne: Harry Potter, Vampire Diaries Star Poses Nude For Playboy
Back in 2015, the Playboy did away with nudity in a decision that stunned the publishing world about as much as if Sports Illustrated decided the Internet has football pretty well covered and that jai alai is the wave of the future.
To the surprise of absolutely no one, the iconic men’s mag reversed its decision this week, after exhaustive research indicated that people still like boobs.
Yes, Playboy is returning to nudity, and they’ve already chosen the set of headlights that will light their way back to the promised land.
That’s Scarlett Byrne, and she’ll be appearing naked in the new issue because apparently the folks in marketing didn’t learn anything from when Lindsay Lohan posed for Playboy and the issue didn’t exactly fly off the shelf.
You may not recognize Byrne’s name but she starred as Pansy Parkinson in the Harry potter films.
Not exactly an A-list Slytherin, but we think she dated Draco Malfoy or something.
The 26-year-old actress also starred in The Vampire Diaries in a role we’re sure the eight people who still watch that show remember fondly.
Byrne has had an okay career, but she still seemed like a random choice to mark the magazine’s return to the type content that made it famous.
But then we saw this pic and realized that she’s dating Hugh Hefner’s son, Cooper, who’s apparently running the show these days.
Byrne isn’t just appearing nude in the new issue, she also penned an essay about how Playboy is totes woke now, or something:
“I’m very proud to be a part of the March/April issue of Playboy. I penned a short essay along with my pictorial titled, ‘The Feminist Mystique,” she wrote on Instagram.
“A big thank you to @Playboy, the creative team, and @cooperbhefner for such a unique opportunity. #NakedIsNormal”
Yes, the Playboy wants you to believe it’s returned to the days of glossy, airbrushed pubic hair, because of, like, women’s rights or something.
Sure, you can find just about every kind of nudity imaginable right now with a few keystrokes (tee-hee), but only in the pages of Playboy can you find socially conscious, faux-feminist flesh for the resistance!
Interestingly, it seems the magazine’s editorial team is trying to play both sides of the fence, as Cooper Hef’s commentary on the change of “reclaiming out identity,” a phrase that has the stench of the #MAGA crowd all over it.
Will the return to naked values be effective?
No, because it’s 2017, and print media is deader than Marilyn Monroe, who, coincidentally was the last centerfold anyone cared about.

Rose Byrne & Bobby Cannavale Welcome New Baby!
Congratulations are in order for new parents Rose Byrne and Bobby Cannavale!
Byrne gave birth to a baby boy on February 1, the proud papa announced during a guest appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert Friday night.
“I had a baby on Monday, yes,” said Cannavale. “You know, I didn’t do anything. We don’t do anything and I’m so tired. I think I’ve gained 28 pounds since Monday. I mean, I’m not kidding you. Like, this jacket fit so well, like, last Thursday. But I’ve been eating so much.”
The new dad admitted that he hadn’t slept for four days since the birth, and apologized for not shaving.
And what did they choose for a name? Rocco! (Although we’re sure it has nothing to do with Madonna and her son, Rocco.)
The talk show host asked if he was named after Saint Rocco, and the new father replied, “Actually, yeah, patron saint of the sick, right?… He took care of sick people. Pretty sure. Could be wrong. I’m tired.”
So, sounds like the Vinyl actor is exhausted and has been stuffing his face since his son came into the world.
Ah, the joys of parenthood.
Cannavale has one son, Jake, who is now 20, from his first marriage to actress Jenny Lumet.
Byrne and Cannavale have been dating since 2012; this is their first child together.
