Vanity Fair introduces the world to Caitlyn Jenner, formerly Bruce

Vanity Fair's July issue, which hits newsstands on June 9, features the first portrait photos of Caitlyn Jenner, formerly known as Bruce Jenner.

In Vanity Fair's preview of the upcoming issue, Jenner tells journalist Buzz Bissinger, "If I was lying on my deathbed and I had kept this secret and never ever did anything about it, I would be lying there saying, 'You just blew your entire life.'"

The Vanity Fair cover, which hit the internet Monday, features a photo of Jenner shot by Annie Leibovitz, along with the headline "Call me Caitlyn." For a preview of Jenner's photoshoot and interview, check out Vanity Fair's behind-the-scenes video below. Meghan DeMaria
