In his Instagram post, Ali shared, “Ok let me put it to rest - yes that is me all secretly dressed up royalty crashing Baz Luhrmann’s Hitchcockian Whodunnit Casino scene. Hehe. And for the rest of this beautiful ensemble piece - WHAT CAN I SAY Anything for Baz @bazluhrmann. I was filming a project in LA when I got the call. And I have truly been blessed that this was the 3rd time Anna Wintour, who I can never thank enough, has had me out and about for my American Vogue outing. So, we jump on a plane and we play. It was one shot, and the best part about Baz comin’ in was he shot the whole thing like scenes so, there’s my dream of workin’ with him coming true. Well, not fully - what? Almost.. what??? ."
