Playboy
unveiled its October 2016 edition - "The Renegades Issue,"
on Thursday starring actress and musician, Sky Ferreira, who graces two different front cover designs that hit
newsstands on Tuesday. A special interactive teaser of the magazine
is available now on Playboy.com.
Sky
Ferreira leads a group of eight unconventional men and women who
aren't afraid to break the rules in Playboy's first-ever "Renegades"
issue. Among the cultural trendsetters are retired pro skateboarder
Jason Dill on surviving near-death; Stoya, a ballerina turned porn
star; Against Me! founder Laura Jane Grace who reveals the challenges
of being transgender in punk rock; comedian and Fresh Off the Boat
writer Ali Wong on motherhood; Paul Beatty, one of America's most
daring writers who's known to push societal boundaries; Noor Tagouri,
a 22-year-old Hijabi Muslim activist and journalist determined to
break down stereotypes; and Sean Murray, founder of Hello Games and
its ambitious video game No Man's Sky, that delivers on the promise
of endless exploration and adventure.
The October 2016 issue also features an in-depth, 8-page conversation with the self-proclaimed "comedic rock star," Kevin Hart. Taking a break from world domination, Hart sat down with Playboy and opened up about his relationship with his father and shared his thoughts on controversial figures such as Donald Trump and Bill Cosby. Hart also discusses his Kevmoji app, currently the #1 downloaded app on iTunes, along with his record-breaking global comedy tour, upcoming tech deals, movies, endorsements and more.
