As the fictional US vice president in HBO's Veep, Julia Louis-Dreyfus is used to dodging scandals.
The 53-year-old actress raises some heated controversy of her own with a hilarious and nude photo spread in the May issue of GQ Magazine.
Julia - who posed naked on a recent Rolling Stone cover - doffs her clothes again to pose in a bed with a red-haired, bare-backed clown after what looks like a raucous party.
Clowning around: Julia Louis-Dreyfus got naked and pretended to be getting amorous with a clown in a shockingly funny photo spread in the May issue of GQ, which hits stands on April 29
The star is seen lying amidst the rumpled sheets and pillows wearing just a clownish red nose while grasping her partner's back and frizzy red head.
Other pieces of clownish attire are strewn about to further elaborate the point that it's all a joke.
The satirical pictorial begins with Julia dressed up in a clingy black and ivory flowered dress and living it up at a party with all sorts of clowns.
Naked truth: The Veep star posed butt-naked and sporting a faux tattoo of the US Constitution for the cover of Rolling Stone earlier this month
'She is the machine': Julia described her character, Selina Meyer, as 'a mangled, bloodied, pulpy working mess'
The nearly naked picture of Julia and her shirtless funny man follows, and then Julia is seen posing in bed and wearing a robe and an expression that might say, 'Oops.'
The final photo features a smiling Julia posing with her comical fellow and holding a cherub-cheeked baby dressed in a circus costume and face paint.
Julia was named one of the 15 funniest people, along with Louis C.K., Amy Schumer, John Oliver, Kate McKinnon, Kevin Hart, Nick Kroll and others, in the magazine that hits newsstands on April 29.
And it's all thanks to Julia's scathingly funny role as veep Selina Meyer on the HBO series now in its third season with a fourth on the way.
Golden touch: Julia, who was pictured at a television event on March 27, is no doubt smiling now that HBO has ordered a fourth season of Veep
'When you lose your moral center, it’s easy to get pissed off,' Julia said when describing her character. 'Selina has been eaten by the machine, but also, she is the machine. She’s a mangled, bloodied, pulpy working mess.'
Just don't compare Selina to Julia because they are not the same, as the star told GQ: 'I don’t have a s**t-ton of baggage. There’s not some grotesque, dark thing.'
Thanks to her performance in Veep, Julia has picked up two Emmy awards.
Her co-star, former Arrested Development star Tony Hale, 43, also won a Best Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series for his portrayal of Selina's personal aide Gary Walsh.
HBO announced it was ordering another batch of episodes via Twitter: 'Selina Meyer is running for President! Veep renewed for 4th season! Call 202-688-3894 for a special msg. from Selina.'
Out of the frying pan, into the fire: Julia was surrounded by silly guys on the 1990s sitcom Seinfeld and now she's among silly politicians on Veep
