In their haste to remove Franco from the prestigious cover, it seems Vanity Fair editors were it too much of a flurry to notice some major errors.
The magazinewas also called out by readers for an embarrassing Photoshop fail on the cover. In the photo, it seems Reese Witherspoon has accidentally been given a third leg and Oprah Winfrey an extra hand.
The baffling mind trick is seen among Annie Leibovitz's shots for the annual feature, which also includes Nicole Kidman, Tom Hanks, Michael B. Jordan, Claire Foy, Jessica Chastain, Zendaya, Michael Shannon, Harrison Ford, Gal Gadot and Robert De Niro.
As expected, the cover oozes sophistication, style and glamour — and is marred only by the presence of Witherspoon's extra leg.
As if that weren't enough, the glaring errors continued inside the magazine, where an otherwise-stunning shot of Winfrey, Witherspoon and Hanks sharing a joke features the TV queen with an extra hand.
Luckily, both the Photoshop victims took it well, sharing a joke about it on Twitter.
"Well ... I guess everybody knows now ... I have 3 legs," Witherspoon wrote. "I hope you can still accept me for who I am ..."
Winfrey quickly joined the fray, replying to her A Wrinkle In Time co-star: "I accept your 3d leg. As I know you accept my 3d hand."
