Julia Louis-Dreyfus bared all for the new Rolling Stone cover, posing with a “tattoo” of the US Constitution on her back.
But the sexy shot revealed more than just the stunning 53-year-old “Veep” star’s toned backside — it was inked with an embarrassing historical flub.
Just above her rump, under the famous line “We the People . . .” sits the signature of John Hancock, the statesman who signed the Declaration of Independence — not the Constitution.
Responding to fans who rapped the mag for the goof, Louis-Dreyfus joked on Wednesday, “Hancock signed Dec. of Independence NOT Constitution. Yet another Mike f–k-up. Dummy” — a nod to the character who plays her slacker communications director on the hit HBO show.
That quick wit is what got her the role that made her a household name in the first place.
“Seinfeld” creator Larry David told the magazine that he met her when he was still writing for “Saturday Night Live.”
He eventually asked Louis-Dreyfus to play the part of Elaine Benes because she was “bright, charming — striking, actually — and she had a great disposition, which, considering the bunker mentality that was ‘SNL’ at the time, wasn’t easy.”
On Tuesday, the actress hammed it up on Twitter, quipping that she was drunk when she posed for the risqué photo.
“In my defense, ‘I was in a drunken stupor’ #crackexcuse” she wrote an hour after tweeting, “I think I’m about to get some more Twitter followers.”
The issue hits the newsstands on Friday.
